Pre-Game Manly V Warriors [Round 27, 2025]

[susan]

Tolu is a big loss for sure, but Clayton can play.

Clayton can play for sure ...,I like him. But a huge drop for us mainly because Tolu has finally got his combinations working and with that speed he's basically unstoppable.

I do like that Clayton was chosen instead of just moving Schoupp to centre.
Pity to lose Koula though, he'd be the form centre in the whole NRL, probably along with Staggs.
Annoying they're making us wait till tonite to see who comes in for Sips. Surely it will be Mia or Simi, would be interesting to see either of them up against the Wahs pack.

Ignoring the fact another one of the young guys is getting looked over, what is the logic in replacing a prop in Sipley with a centre/2nd rower in Schoupp who is also apparently heading to the Super League? Walsh and Schoupp to play 10-15 minutes each from the bench against this Warriors pack with guys like JFH and Clark?

Would be a crazy decision even if we did have something to play for.

I'm sorry but are you a Harvard graduate?

Not to mention Lodge’s inability to play big minutes

Along with Bull and Navale makes a pretty mobile bench

Well not sure why but I’m going with a win , despite the outs.

Remarkable that Manly remain warm favourites.
Considering what Wahs have to play for... their 2 rivals for a top 4 spot, Broncos and Sharks, are both outsiders and quite likely will lose!
In which case Wahs only have to beat Manly to lock up a crucial top 4 spot.
You'd have to think they are going to throw everything at this, including the kitchen sink. (obviously, never go anywhere without it) 🙂

Anyone else a bit concerned with Faulolo defending in the centres. Must admit would prefer to see Schoupp in the run on side at centre and either Mia/Laifai replace Sipley on the bench.

No I'm not concerned, centre is his position and he deserves the start.

If Scott Bailey is correct this is too stupid to contemplate. This is why we lose u8p and coming young players!
