Pre-Game discussion: Manly v Souths [Finals week 2, 2019]

[urulion]

All the talk is about Cook , Burgess , Reynolds , Walker etc

The guy that gets them rolling is Cam Murray. He has the best play the ball in the game and so much of their good stuff comes off the back of him landing on his front and getting a super quick ruck.
Stop him and we go along way towards winning.
Maybe that’s a job for Mad Jack. Bash Murray all night.

Totally agree, if Cam Murray is ineffective their momentum goes down rapidly. Another issue that I noticed against sharks was the chip and chase. Jorge and Suli struggle with speed off the mark to turn and chase, will not be surprised that they use those tactics if they struggle for attacking creativity. I am sure Des will have a game plan to not be caught out.

Yep, I threw Thommo in there because he is due back next week. And Des is king of mind games so could do an old Tony Williams trick this week again

Probably Parker in centre for Walker though !

Team selected soon. I assume the only change to our 21 is Marty in, T Rex out , with Haumole to drop out of the 17 but remaining in the squad?

Im sure Jake Destrbojevic will take care of him.. he knows cams game from origin he knows how to take him down. It will be a good battle

Yep, that’s the most likely

We owe him one for the shot he put on Cade Cust (no penalty, cited afterwards but didn't miss a week with the early plea) last time we played.

@ellakasmar - I believe the nrl knocked back our request to play Trex, as they believed we had enough other players to cover the position. So no more smoke and mirrors with Trex

I absolutely loved seeing this at halftime, matched by the pregame shed huddle and each and every time they g'd each other up on the field.
They are playing for each other, revving each other up, something that had been missing last few years.

You can have all the talent in the world, the latest and brightest coach, but if you are not going to play for each other, and take the attitude on the field, well you end up like Bronco's.

[Clint]

Any of you ba hum bugs think that we can't win this with that squad then that'll do me!
Go Manly!

 

[HappilyManly]

Marty would be so motivated to repay the teammates that got him a chance to win a GF this year

 

[Roger_Ramjet]

Just heard Toovey on NRL TV talk about Sam Burgearse and about the fact that he can't control his temper and he said " I think the Manly forwards will bait him..." Is he here reading this forum?

 

[brad]

Sipley will come into the 17 in place of Olakau'atu I'd recon.
