Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles

Team List etc. will be updated on Tuesday Afternoon (20/05/25)

 

[Phobia]

Lodge in NSW Cup:

66 minutes
22 runs, 19 hit ups
275 metres (!) 107 PCM
5 tackle breaks
1 offload
29 tackles, 1 missed, 1 ineffective

He'd be straight in for me. If Aloiai is fit, I'd have him on the bench too.

By all accounts, I'd like to see the following:

1. Turbo (C)
2. Saab
3. Koula
4. Garrick
5. Hopoate
6. Brooks
7. Walsh
8. Lodge
9. Simpkin
10. Taukeiaho
11. Olakau'atu
12. Burbo
13. Tevaga
14. Jake Arthur
15. Aloiai
16. Bullemor
17. Brown

Still an off-chance that Turbo, Olakau'atu, and maybe even Bullemor are put in Origin, although I doubt it. Best pack since we lost Paseka.

Someone will be injured though, you wait...

I've got Bully in my Qld team, even more so now Gilbert blew a pec out y'day.

Good hit out for lodge. 66mins a good stint. They are def working his fitness up quickly.

 

[Stewbojevic]

Hopefully Moses and Lomax get picked for NSW

I’d be very surprised if Arthur wasn’t picked at 7

 

[mickqld]

So is it Jekyll or Hyde Manly that shows up next Friday night. One thing is for sure the officiating will be 100% biased to the whinging worms.

 

[The Wheel]

The drums are beating that Moses will be 5/8 for NSW - great news for us.

Should be an interesting TLT - looking forward to it

 

[The Insomniac]

Great opportunity for Jake Arthur to shine this week against his old club, providing he's picked of course. I can't see us using Joey Walsh. I hope Siebs doesn't do anything stupid like moving Brooksie to half and bringing a forward like Burbo into 5/8. Leihi could play there but might be required @ fullback the way Tommy was hobbling about.

Hoppa
Saab
Koula
Garrick
Clayton
Turbo
Brooks

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Long range forecast is rain all week, so a solid kicking game will be crucial.
