Could even be a case to give Sam Fainu a go as a prop if this grouping and Woodsie can not measure up in the remaining games and to help Manly still being in the running

I reckon @Woodsie might have Woodsy covered Al.

He'd definitely bring more mongrel.

 

[Thewestisbest]

Sorry, what was that, I nodded off.

Just kidding.

But I do think you're getting a little ahead of yourself, he needs to show something in Reggies first. Frankly, if they want to belt the crap out of each other, good on them. But I care more about our team playing good footy and showing us they can show some heart in defence. I could give 2 hoots if Lodge feels scorned and he and boofhead JWH have a p*issing contest.

But anyway ........

Manly v Chooks

Lodge V JWH

Season on the line

BRING IT ON!

 

[Thewestisbest]

Well Lodge wont play 1st grade.

But I know Woods shouldnt - but is.

Lodge is our very own nut case enforcer. He also lives on the Northern Beaches which makes him a true local lunatic.

Not really a "true local" @Thewestisbest but definitely a lunatic. We have been missing that style of player for way too long.

I know he doesn't pass the true local test. You lot on the peninsular are very particular about what qualifies a person as being a true local.

It sure has been a while since Manly has had a genuine white line fever lunatic.

Manly v Chooks

Lodge V JWH

Season on the line

BRING IT ON!

With the season on the line again this week, I could still give 2 hoots about seeing Boof head and Lodge going at each other. We need Lodge to focus on taking all comers not just one and if he gets sin binned coz he and boofhead were having a p*ssing comp, pleased I won't be.

We need to try and freshen up in a very short time to take on the Chooks and then try and lift again as a team. Bring it on indeed ......... as a team.

Sometimes these short turnarounds can be team bonding and brings a siege mentality mind set no matter who we play.

That would be great if we can do it coz the Chooks will be very tough. Frankly, I'm more worried about Collins than Boofhead. If we had Collins, Paseka, Jake and any one of the other possible middle forwards we have, we'd be Premiership material for sure. But we don't.

Agree, and with a mounting injury list at the wrong time of the season, this really is a huge ask but not impossible tho.
