Pre-Game Manly v Knights [Round 5, 2023]

[The Who]

Knights starting side isn't too bad, but no shock to see Manly are raging favourites.
Fitzgibbon can score a try but he's not the most convincing defender. He'll get sick of being trampled by Haumole all afternoon.
Aside from that, we'll get a lot more from our bench than the Knights will.
Looking forward to a strong Manly win for sure.

I think what we'll see from this game is our team being given a lot more room to move that Souffs' did. This should mean greater impact from the Shoe and Turbo.
I expect it to be a high scoring match, and I can't see Newcastle matching us for line-breakers.

Hopefully a little truth telling/‘gifthorse in the mouth’ stuff for a certain pinheaded halfback, regarding taking the easy penalty shots for goal.

Something along these lines:

Two slow centres just doesn’t make sense. That’s not being cautious that’s being foolish.

Who do you put in Tolu's place though, if not Harper (Someone that has played centre before and is within the top 30 and without weakening another position, ie shifting Turbo).

In a perfect world if SAAB was available they could have swung Garrick into centre. Aside from Burbo, Harper was the obvious choice. It’s fanciful thinking weekes could play there with no experience in the position. A poor game from him could severely impact on his development. I’m no fan of Harper however irrespective of his form in Reggie’s he should be primed for a big game.

Schuster out with injury?

Schuster out with injury?

Hope not - at least will see Weekes just in for a 5/8 shot if true

 

[Once Was Brissie Kid]

Schuster out with injury?

Per certain Twitter sources. Corked quad 1 week. Is it correct? Dunno.

 

[Nordburg]

Apparently Schuster’s brother is dropping the rumour that he’s out

I doubt it. Probably be Johns again.

 

[Nordburg]

I doubt it. Probably be Johns again.

Yep,it worked in rd1,no point making two changes(minor as that may be)to fix one issue

 

[maxta]

I doubt it. Probably be Johns again.

Yeh ya probably right - he done well first game anyways, a bit disappointing re the Schu though....hope his injuries can take a holiday somewhere else in 2023

Yep saw that! Spoke about them pulling him from training, not wanting to risk it.

[Kalvin]

Disappointing if true, however we have more than enough class in our squad to still win this game!!

For this game yes and put Kaeo at the back bring Lawman into 14, gives us a stronger side, playing Harper seems regressive to me, been there done that, almost certain to know what we‘ll get.

 

[manlyfan76]

Olakau'atu to six please.

imagine the big man roving across the park destroying knights for fun.

 

[Budgie]

We're Schuless

Yep. Show myself out.

Say it ain't so Joe.

OK. Going
