This is the same selected team as round one. However Funa and Elliot came into the centres, and Toff came into the front row.
Has anyone seen Sam Smith or Semisi Kioa play this season? Are they getting a run somewhere?

Is it just me or is Morgan Boyle a reserve grader? Don't feel like he offers much, I feel like sipley might add a bit more punch. I'm a big fan of keppie though that kids a first grader.

I actually thought the Boyle / Keppie rotation worked pretty well last Sunday.

Lance isn’t a superstar but he’s an honest toiler.

Keppie IS the goods.

Boyle was our best forward on the wknd. 13 runs for 125 metres. More than any other manly player

I'm watching the storm game again now and geez dce had a shocker... I think this wknd he will have a blinder IF its a dry track. Good to see Des went with the same team... GO Manly

I still believe the hookers are around the wrong way. Croker should start. Levi is the one you want against tired forwards.

I agree in the fact if croker is on the team he should start, he offers no impact off bench. Either start him and do not include him in the 17

 

[Chip and Chase]

Is the Frog's defence up to starting at 9 ?

We just need a real hooker coming off the bench. Crocker to Btown as halves back up

 

[susan]

Roosters big favourites at 1.50
Didn’t think Roosters performance last week warranted that short a price even though I think they will probably get us in a tight one.

Yeah. Can’t see why Cust and Croker are both in the 30 with the wraps on Schuster. One of them
for sure but would have liked to have seen IPape , who is a hooker , available.

104 points.. only 2 players that have won at leichhardt... glad this blokes so positive

I hear you... I think Cust is at the crossroads at Manly but has the potential for a breakout season if he tidies up his front on defence. Don't understand why we keep extending Croker much less put him in 17. I understand he is a good trainer but has done nothing in NRL other than a pass against Raiders at Brookie.

I will be amazed if Schuster is not in NRL by round 6, as for backup 9 I don't think ZDC is eligible but it is as close as you can get to a sensible backup 9. Very surprised we did not put Reed Izzard in 30 ahead of Croker.
