The reserves won't exactly have the Tugers frightened either.
Might be a bit of rain about on Saturday. Never hurts the underdogs 😉
Okay.......so of the 22 players available (the squad plus Kioa) who would you pick?
I'd be all for Funa over Parker but hardly worth going ape**** over
And it's not unheard of to shield a debutant by withholding his announcement until the last moment...?

Bruised ribs approx 3 weeks - broken 6-7....painful....every breath is like knitting needles puncturing something and if you laugh....you cry.
Along with Sue on Waddell, was really looking forward to seeing him on the back of some good go forward...thought we finally had that explosive type backrower to exploit defences around the ruck !!

I don't know about you lot but I am sure glad the footy starts in 2 sleeps time. I really don't want to hear about another dumb arse players sex tape. I will rather be talking about our fortunes through 2019. Heres to a top 6 finish

Will you still be ape**** if manly get the win on Saturday ??
Is there a better name in Rugby league at the moment ? Every time I see it I can't help thinking of Ali G

Awsome starting pack.
Can’t take a trick our boys. No depth and as soon as we do get a likely lad down he goes. And for a while by the sounds of it. He looks like a footballer with a feel for the game while JetSki seems to have crazy energy but little football technique or nouse. Waddell may be a big loss if wraps were right.

Just as well Barrett has left otherwise we would have the worse backs and worst coach in Manly's history

Des has basically picked his most experienced side available. Nothing wrong with that under the circumstances. After all, we are going in without both Turbo and Walker in the backline. Personally I don't think he really had much other choice.
We'll see how it goes on Saturday. I don't think its as bad as people think, and its not like Maguire has named a side that is likely to run away with the 2019 premiership. Obviously we'd be more confident if both Turbo and Walks were playing, but it is what it is and they aren't playing.

A few ex-Tigers in our team keen to perform before the Leichhardt faithful, that's a plus for us I'd say. Kapow, Siro, Suli (what's his nickname again?)

He will have plenty of tigers running at him to keep him company
