PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Rabbits [Round 2, 2021]

[mickqld]

Imagine if last week was the last game you ever saw.

I'd come back and haunt the f**kers

 

[Supreme Leader]

Better being pissed, stoned and on morphine to watch this.

hope you are using a drip

Fair few changes considering this is Des and it is only rd 2. Davey to start is great and didn’t expect Des to do the right thing and promote him to start.

The only thing that needs to happen is drop Garrick and bring Harper into the side for Parker (either at fullback or centre). Tbh I would be more than happy to see Des drop Garrick, so if that happens before the game I don’t care if there are no more changes.

So your happy to leave Croker in the side whilst cust warms the bench and shu looks elsewhere for a team

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

If it rains it will stem the blood flow.. otherwise it will be 50 plus

Walker at fb again. Des has lost it he really has, especially since Parker is his center replacement. Boggles the mind

 

[lulubelle]

Yes think the predicted heavy rain will help us and bring the teams closer together. Room for optimism there. Figure we will only lose be thirty.

Sadly I will be there. Paid in advance. Won't do that again.

Croker plays hooker Schu doesn't. I don't think cust can play 80 same as croker so we need two hookers. I want Schuster in the side only way is if Foran goes down. That or des drops dce and makes Foran the 7

 

[DaveLP]

Gagai johnston Mitchell about to have a field day. Happy for cust should have been there round 1. Hopefully we keep it entertaining. If it is another 30+ thrashing it might be better for schu not to play as I don't see how he would benefit from tackling practice and then the critism of not being ready etc.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Rain coming , oh that’ll slow them down.

Might only be 36-4 now

 

[Scorpio]

Well that team list is a start. To be honest I was expecting zero changes. These are wholesale changes by Des standards.

The problem is that if too many changes are made in a week then players will have even less familiarity with defensive structures and have even less confidence than they seemingly already do.

I am hoping that more changes will happen in the next few weeks... all of the problems on display on the weekend will not be fixed in 1 week.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Lets hope it rains so much it turns into an old fashion slugfest! None of this touch footy crap! A real grinding kind of game like the real nrl used to be

If it pours rain it will even it up in a big way. We will be better than last week guaranteed. Said it before I like our pack over theirs and if it’s in the bog and rain their backs won’t have the run of it. Tell the groundsman at brookie to not mow the place at all. That’s the only way we might have a slight chance.

Remember we used to hate the rain because we could hardly ever win. Now we preying for torrential rain just in the hope to keep the loss respectable. My god I feel so.........parra.
