PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Warriors [Round 9, 2021]

[Shoe1]

George Taufa has been a great servant but it's time to give Tupiluoto his shot.

[Budgie]

At least he spelled DCE correctly.

I must admit I once had to edit my post when I read it back from DEC

I do more editing of my posts than I have breakfasts, and often I have to edit the damned things a week later when I realise what I've allowed to slip in. I feel like the dyslexic agnostic who has doubts about the existence of Dog.

Late mail: Morgan Harper is in doubt due to knee injury with Moses Suli, who was named on the bench likely to take his place if he is ruled out and Tevita Funa coming onto the pine.

that’s not a typo pine is what was written on the website

 

[WiseyEagle]

I’m sorry. Jorge made his debut for us in 2012. That was nine years ago. And you can’t be ****ed learning to spell the name of one of our longest serving players. Sheesh!

Was that a recent name change or just how it's pronounced? Changing the way a name is pronounced seems pretty popular nowadays.

Rorters have $10mil sitting on sidelines. Another $10mil playing........wait, what !?!?

Don't be silly, they have wonderful cap technicians and only acquire players who have an indifference to money.

Hmm Harper in doubt, I suspect more than in doubt but sure hope not. And if he can't make it I hope it won't keep him out too long, that would be a cruel twist of fate.
Big backs-to-the-wall effort coming up, I can feel it building, this will be another season defining game methinks!
A few young forwards jumping out of their skins to make a statement. Their first time without having Marty and Josh or AFB in the past there to hold their hands. Keppie Paseka Sipley you don't need those guys any more, you are now all NRL front rowers, so get out there and take control of Brookie.

 

[Rafferty]

The warriors enjoy playing at Brookie, they have a 54% win rate verses their overall average of 43%.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Well they won't enjoy it on Sunday. Not if I have anything to say about it. Well, me and Zac Saddler.

 

[Bearfax]

If Harper is out does that mean there's a good chance Ben Trbojevic could get a start on the bench. Being able to cover second row, lock and centre despite his inexperience, could see him getting the nod. Having two backs on the bench is tricky if Funa gets the nod. Have a feeling there will be three Trbojevics playing first grade on Sunday.

 

[Mitch]

With our injuries this is a danger game, no doubt - But with the milestone of his 100th game, back at Brookie and continuing to get match fitness, I really feel like Turbo is going to give us something special.

 

[Rafferty]

Gee, Zac‘s looking super fit, but it looks like your coping a bit of a hiding, will be good to see the big fella rip in on Sun and I’m with you, there will be no joy for them this Sun, refortifying the fortress begins this weekend with the boys celebrating a solid win for Toms 100th, our season and the loyal faithfuls who will turn up to celebrate with them.

If Harper is out and Funa comes onto the pine, I’m really f$&@en worried. At least Suli is big and could be squeezed into the pack somehow. Funa is a mediocre fill in outside back. Warriors pack will be gaining lots of confidence.

If Harper is out then Suli would go to right centre so there wouldn't be 2 backs on the bench.

So who then takes the bench?
