Pre-Game Manly v Tigers [Round 9, 2022]

[eagleron]

I agree, rest all the injured players and let the reserves prove their worth. Turbo, Walker, Garrick, Aloiai, Davey. Surely we can beat the tigpies at home without them. Give Harper, Jorge, De Luis, Burbo a go. Then we go full speed into magic round and then Parra and Storm after with a near full strength squad.

yes you heard it rightly

so we may no get screwed over on the Field but off it if not we will

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

I haven't seen anyone say it so I'm going to lite the match.

Well Done Des!

Good looking side with a mix of past, current and future all mixed in.

 

[Supreme Leader]

Happy with that team, considering our injuries. Looking great for Saturday:
Turbo is back
Aloiai is back
3 Turbo brothers in starting side
Koula's retained his spot
Tigers missing 2 of their best players
Will be interesting to see DCE vs Hastings
A sunny afternoon forecast
And last but not least, it's at Brookie!

Brilliant assessment young lady!!!! Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! Could not have put it better.

It ain't my Birthday! Thanks if you misunderstood. mine is Mid July and celebrating by taking @byso and myself to the Knight's game at Brookie into the corporate box..... it's a belated 50th presi for the great @byso from last year.

Yes, I misunderstood, anyway still hope you have many more

Well I'm a dinosaur, that makes everyone other @BrookieBob younger than me, just saying

i hope bully gets a run in the middle but i doubt it as we have our 4 main props as well as jake, he looked really promising v sharks

not sure the wife does....

The Hooker Sub will be interesting. I'll say Walker. Hope he kills it.

You forgot to add Gucamole, and Schuster will be all the better for the run. The forwards look to be strengthened with Gauca and Ailoi returning and add the guile of Schuster to the pack, we're primed for a big one.

Probably the last cab of the rank as regards the benchies, but another opportunity for Bully to show Des he can cut it first grade.

 

[HoldenV8]

TBH I'm happy with this weeks team. I think that Des has left himself a lot of wiggle room.

I'm not sure how officials are chosen but sometimes I honestly believe the decision makers are taking the mickey out of us.

No place like 'home' for Trbojevic brothers

Ben Trbojevic knows it's going to be a ‘pretty cool’ feeling to play with his older brothers for the first time in an NRL premiership match at 4 Pines Park this Saturday.

jakes been waiting for Ben to start, ever since Ben pushed him into the lake whilst playing golf.

Yeah, School teacher Atkins rules by the text book, he looks for old and obscure rulings when there's no need to. We just need to dominate the Tigpies from the start and put the fate of the game in our own hands, not the Refs.

 

[Stewbojevic]

It’s a nice story for Ben to get a start this week. But if Parker is out all season is he really going to be our left centre?

I’m “hoping” he shows more than he already has - especially defensively last week, Campbell Graham ran rings around him. But I’m not confident he has what it takes to be an NRL centre right now.

Yeah, he really was Grahams bitch last friday, he'll learn a lot from that and be better for it come Sat. Really thought Des was going to go Harper, anyway I'm 100% behind Ben, and I'm sure with his brothers there he'll be full of confidence.

Some big ins with Turbo , Haumole and Alioia and important to get on a real roll and just a bit more clinical to start a climb up the ladder again . Sure that the team still has some improvement to show , about this time last season that Manly developed some real momentum , be timely to start replicating that again . Still think that Paseka and Saab add real value but obviously time for their alternatives to also show their worth .

It's a big chance for him. If he doesn't take it. I imagine Saab returns to the wing and Tuipolotu to centre. He's only out for 3-4 weeks. Ben needs to take his chance while Saab is out.

The Hooker Sub will be interesting. I'll say Walker. Hope he kills it.

Would be interesting if Walker takes that role. My first thought is it would take away from his current running and linking which add heaps to our attack. However if he plays some dummy half and causes some havoc there, his stocks as possible NSW origin No 14 will be hard to ignore.
