Pre-Game Manly v Bulldogs [Round 3, 2022]

[Pepi]

Would like to see Davey in for Bullemore, bloke is a plodder. Then bring in Sipley as part of the 17 for much needed go forward off the bench.

Finding it hard to watch any attack which starts with Crocker.

Agree that Davey is more suited to the edge than Bullemore and should start.

Disagree calling Bullemore a plodder though. He was very good as a middle forward for the Broncos off the bench. It is a bit hard to shine out of position in a team down on confidence.

@Jerry1 At least you're still wearing the colours

What did you think of Sipley when he started against Penrith? I was quite disappointed (don't know if he was hurt though).

IMHO , Sippers is more of an attacking weapon and in that match all he was doing was tackling in the first half.

As was AFB. If we didn’t have much ball, too much defense definitely blunted him.

Club is struggling to sell tickets for the new stand opening. Giving them at GA prices now. The place is starting to stink and supporters are turning away.

Seriously .. wtf

 

[Supreme Leader]

As long as DCE:

• stops running up out of the line in defense, leaving a hole for Shmole / Harper / Saab to cover - this kills us close to our lines
• running around like a headless eagle when presented with a straight defensive wall - just draw and pass left or right to Shmole or Harper (like most other halfbacks can do)
• keep up with the kicking game - he still has one of the best long kicks going
• keep up with the high accurate kicks to Saab - or the long range ones to his wing and let him chase - that seems to scare a lot of other teams.

Positives and negatives - well balanced, I think.

I'd be happy with not kicking on the 3rd tackle when we are over he 40 mtr mark

Some fantastic ideas here! Well done guys!

And this is after two rounds. Imagine if we end up with our first spoon! There will be no more Silvertails.

Not surprising, it’s the worst time slot of the weekend and the weather is predicted to be wet for 4 days in the lead up.

Yeah, I wanted Lawton to start, never gunna happen.
Sipley is the bloke that inspires everyone in the team, not just with his hard running, on the field and on the sideline. He’s always pumping everyone up with his positive mannerisms. Just a really upbeat persona. We need a big shot of Sipleys energy and his big smile.

It's pretty well assured isn't it?

 

[Snake]

Sportsbet had us at $1.28 last night, down to $1.25 today. With the Dogs paying $4.00. Someone knows something. Seems outrageous on form.

They know Barrett is the coach

At those odds, I'm tempted to have a wager on dogz, but...
just can't do it!

 

[Simonmyers11]

I think he is more suited to an impact player off the bench. Defence is still suspect

I would like to see a repeat of our performance against Parramatta at Bankwest in round 1 last year.

I think you meant Rnd 11 the day Bozo passed away..Thats the best ive seen my Mighty Sea Eagles play in many years. Our line speed was crazy that day we hammered anything that moved.

No one would have beat us that day !!

And our attack was lethal right to the end . We know we have it in the boys so hopefully it starts this Sunday .
