PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Souths v Manly [Round 15, 2020]

[Mataiforever]

Our pack is miles better than theres. With or without AFB. Although AFB would be huuuge, our best forward no doubt.

Garrick really isn’t that bad at fullback as everyone makes out IMO... he was good in that second game at the back he had earlier in the season. Last week he had no training there and isn’t used to it... will improve this week.

Was just hoping for no Jorge, oh well. Hopefully AFB in for Waddell if Des has any brains.

Still think this is a game we win. Souths pack sucks quite frankly... Reynolds will have a field day though, arguably the best kicker in the game.

Prop rotation + jake to storm up the guts... Levi, AFB, Sironen & Suli to score

22-14 Manly Win.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Take out Fainu, and the only players who haven't got a run are: Musgrove & Smith (obviously not good enough), Hopoate (we've been over this ad nauseum), Metcalf, Trex and Toff (a little surprising, but we have had quality in the middle and no real need).

People seem to think we have a team of superstars in the background who can't get a game. There isn't beef between Des and the Penns - this is what we have to work with

And Schuster

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Ryan Papenhuyzen: 181cm/80kg, first grade debut at 20yrs of age. Wasn't considered as "too small" and given a chance.......he's been killing it since the get go.

Matt Dufty: 179cm/83kg, made his first grade debut at 19yrs old. Wasn't considered "too small", shown glimpses of talent early on (scored a try on debut against Manly.....booooo..lol). Now, fulltime fullback carving it up!

Luke Metcalf: 183cm/84kgs. Hardly not the smallest fullback running around....oh hang on......waiting to have a run. Tore up the 9's and that's about it.

Dessie, give the 21yr old a chance to see what happens. We may have a hot Papenhuyzen or a steady Dufty on our hands.
Just sayin'

You mean Sonic the Papenhuyzen? I think we have seen him peak.

Who was known as "Mighty Mouse" that played for the Sea Eagles? Musta been before my time.

Ron Murray, 1966/67 replaced by Bob Batty, he was about Tooves stature ... small with a huge heart

And Schuster

Schuster is Development player...i.e. paid while he is still 'developing'

Schuster was in the 30, not a development player...unless your comment is purely in jest

Incorrect, he is top 30. Devel contract players often get a run in FG.

 

[bSw]

You mean Joey Johns the one who admitted taking drugs during most of his career? Sorry I have zero respect for Johns......Immortal my ar$e!

Lol seriously?? He loved the pingas so what? Talk about your high horse. I am so grateful for having the pleasure of watching one of the game's true magicians. Fukn champ through and through. Damn straight Immortal

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Mate he took more than just ‘pingas’.....anyway you’re entitled to your opinion as am I. To me he’ll never be an immortal!

Schuster is in our top 30.......not in the development squad.

I pray for a match where we

*give away less than 7 penalties.
*give away 3 or less restarts.
*only drop the ball once in each half.
*DCE doesn't get tackled on the 4th tackle more than once.
*don't have the ball stripped from us.
*all kickoffs are without stupidity, nice and deep and in play.
*no shooters in defence, every holds the line for 80 minutes
*get 50% possession
*complete 85% of our sets.
*our goal kicker kicks 80% on the day
NO ONE GETS HURT FOR THE FULL MATCH

This sticky thread at top of forum has current top 30 details as per MWSE info

MWSE Squad Contract Status & Top 30 List

Having often been frustrated when trying to find confirmed contract status of our squad I thought we could keep a thread of current and confirmed contract lengths for the MWSE squad. I’ll make it a sticky and we can add and subtract as needed and it will be an easy reference point. Feel free to...

A forfeit will just about satisfy those requests

He was in the top 30 since the start of the year.
