Pre-Game Manly V Chooks [Round 22, 2025]

[Nambawan]

Talau in for Saab.. Simpkin back for Gordy..
Waddell in for Haumole.. Navale in for Toff.. and I’m undecided on who comes on the bench in place of Waddell do we give Pua'avase a run or blood Hart (although I wouldn’t still tad young) or do we go with Chee Kam or Schoupp?

Waddell not NRL standard.

 

[manly al]

Don 't seem to be getting best value attacking wise from Bully in recent times .
Maybe just need a bit wider running in the ruck area .
Attack was a bit off in general and even Haumole was not being used properly in his time on the paddock
,Also not help with the swarming type Dogs defence but other mid range to better sides have not seemed to be dominated by the Dogs as Manly were on Sunday so surely have the means to be better against the Roosters with some subtle adjustments

 

[Buddy Love]

I'm predicting a Mark Nawaqanitawase hat trick

 

[Sheikheagle]

The rorters are training at my gym on the Central Coast. I will drop a few dumbells on their feet.

Yep but in saying that he is very suss under the high ball in defence.

Another one whose form drops the minute they sign an extended deal.

 

[Budgie]

Now that Haumole is out of the way, it's your time to shine Corey Waddell!!!!

Come on down!!!!!!!!!!

We should declare Saturday Corey Waddell Day. Show him the love, the trust, the belief!!!!

Go Corey

Probably cover for Turbo who had a scare with his knee against the Dogs last round

One of the most pivotal clashes of Round 22 takes place at 4 Pines Park on Saturday night when ninth-placed Manly host the 10th-placed Roosters in a fight for finals survival.

Waddell to start for injured Ola. Seriously, I think Seibold wants to get fired. What does Navale have to do to get a go? Do the Turbo's have a sister or cousin he can marry?

So , have you watched Navale in the reserves , and also at training ??

Not knocking your opinion but you have to think the football department know more than we do .

Navale isn't a second rower. Waddell in the second row every day over him.

He played twice there in NSW Cup last year iirc, and missed like 15 tackles across the two games. He simply doesn't have the defensive lateral mobility to play there.

I support the criticism against not selecting Navale, but purely as a middle. Throwing him into the second-rower debate is clutching at straws.

 

[Scorpio]

Waddell not NRL standard.

Clearly he is... otherwise he wouldn't have played 120+ NRL games across two clubs.

NRL teams win premierships with players on minimal coin who are not superstars pretty much every single year... our last two premiership winning teams are no different.

 

[Wombat64]

Oh and we are favourites

There really should be a WTF emoji for us being favourites.

 

[Brookie1973]

There really should be a WTF emoji for us being favourites.

No doubt it reflects our Jekyll and Hyde form plus brookie.

 

[mickqld]

We just got pumped by near 40 points and the coach picks the same lineup. Keep doing the same thing you'll get the same results. Chook by 16.
