Early mail: Josh Reynolds looks set to be axed in favour of Tigers debutant Thomas Mikaele. The Daily Telegraph is reporting 22-year-old Corey Waddell will be added to Manly’s 17 for Saturday, with forwards Kelepi Tanginoa and Taniela Paseka unavailable through injury. Hooker Manase Fainu will serve the final game of his three-match suspension, meaning Apisai Koroisau will play 80 minutes. Manly’s official word is that fullback Tom Trbojevic will be out for the first two weeks with Brendan Elliot expected to provide cover. Yet not everyone is convinced that Trbojevic will miss the first two games — and training footage of Trbojevic will be a sight for sore Manly eyes.

Just had a (good) flashback...pretty sure it was a game at Leichardt that I witnessed a fast young fullback called Brett Stewart make his debut for Manly, in a weak and rebuilding team. He stood out at the time. Possibly because he was replacing Brendon Reeves, but hey...

debut was against parra at Brookie and Lyon broke Stewarts shoulder

I've never been to Leichhardt oval before,
Where do Manly fans sit ?

 

[Leader of the Flock]

In the best seats in the house of course; as would be expected as our due

Hmm... maybe it was just the first time I saw him play live.

You are correct: this was the one I recall...

After playing from the bench in a 30-22 loss to the Wests Tigers at Leichhardt Oval in Round 7 of the 2004 NRL season, rookie coach and dual Manly premiership player Des Hasler moved former dual international Andrew Walker from fullback to five-eighth to bring Stewart in as the Sea Eagles fullback in Round 9 against the St. George Illawarra Dragons at Brookvale Oval.

Dear lord. Hahaha. Also thought Fainu can't play. What a team!

Fainu, Waddell, Perrett, Sipley, Hodkinson, Garrick, Parker, Suli , Elliott, Taufua were all Reggie players at the start or end of the season last year (10 of 17).

Good luck.

 

[Freagle]

So, pretty sure Tigers are missing Nofualuma, definitely missing Chris Lawrence, Eli Taylor is looking sketchy... Chee Kam has off season legal issues hanging over him... at least this one is a relatively level playing field!

My apologies mate , I took that post down as that was not the official team . It was a predicted team and never the less it will be a similar team and I predict we will do well .
I see your calendar clock is still stuck on last season . Better buy a new one and keep up with the new times

Mbye also likely to be ruled out. Brings them back to the field a bit.

Why isn't Chee Kam suspended?

There were witnesses that saw him punching a taxi driver?

Hello Toddy

Too many reserves, they will be stripped the points if they win with that many.
