Team Song

 

[The Who]

I was confident until our two best props were rubbed out unjustly.
One way to judge the strength of our opposition is to ask: Would Plod and Poo make their 17?

The Burgos seem to have mellowed since getting married

But it will be a huge ask to have Manly defend without Taupau, AFB and Lussick

Great test of character

 

[Ralphie]

Souffs by plenty

 

[nightster]

we gonna feast on bunny Saturday night

 

[Andrew..]

we gonna feast on bunny Saturday night

Remind me not to eat my dinner in front of the computer.

 

[Freagle]

We still stack up ok. Probably the bigger side really, with 112kg Frank and 105kg Siroju on the edges, Lane on the bench. And yes, I have copyrighted "Siroju"...

 

[Harvies elbow]

I think even with those two suspended we still look better on paper.
I hope we can play on paper on Saturday night.

 

[Seaeagle63]

Souffs will not play well without Inglis

 

[Kevinward777]

Typical bias Manly bullcrap, give them some home games to start the year but take their 2 best props out of the equation at the first opportunity.

Very fast food.

I agree. such bs penalties weren't even given these so called shoulder charges. it's a joke 100% joke I'm sick of it really. how bout the ref calling held semi plays the ball Jake jumps on it and the eels get a penalty then score then end up with the ball for 12 minutes.. rubbish

 

[maxta]

The AFB was a nothing shoulder charge but it was an obvious 1.
The Kapow shot was not at all consistent with a shoulder charge on any angle and if challenged would be playing this weekend.
Fact is....the players coming in need to step up and get the job done.

 

[Holmsey]

If Reynolds somehow plays I think we will lose, plus its pretty hard to see us winning anyways they have a massive pack that will roll us and now our 2 best props are out it just makes them stronger. But one thing in our favour I think is that we all still really don't know what this team is like in attack. We had 30% of the ball last week for the majority of the game. At the moment I'm tipping Souths by 20.

just swap Bainbridge for Brown

Woah just realised Tom and George burgess aren't playing, manly will demolish them if our depleted pack can at least stand their ground, and against another depleted pack I think we can actually win the forward battle (despite missing our top 4 props).

Will be interesting to see how much these new guys want to play for manly, expecting a big win

they have been dropped (allegedly), for a reason ... Reynolds not on their injured list on zerotackle .... and Darcy, Sean Lane & Tom Wright not on our injured list

 

[manlywarringah]

I expect George to play, especially after dropping Tom.

I'm hoping like hell that Reynolds doesn't. If he does play, I think we're gone. His kicking game alone will be too good.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Toss of the coin this one, but I expect their forwards will roll over ours, and it will be dependant on if Souffs backs can take advantage.

If our mistake / penalty level continues then it could be a flogging.

We won't survive a 60/40 against share of the ball with a disrupted forward pack, especially if Nate " I was **** last year and still am" Myles is our key forward.

Brace yourself for more " sack Trent" threads as over the next two weeks that will be the main theme on here.
