Pre-Game Raiders v Manly [Round 23, 2021]

[davohan123]

I doubt Tom will play. Too risky. How does a plate that's screwed in actually move without damaging something ???Smells of a Des smokescreen and the usual Manly injury cover up. Parker won't play either. I hope Suli to center and Koula to debut. Leave as little team disruption as possible. It'll be Raiders by 10.

We will see at 4pm when team list comes out.

I think Des will name him whether he plays or not

I'd actually be more confident of him playing is he is named in 18-21. It will confirm that Des is playing mind games.

Unfortunately that won' t tell us anything.

I expect some changes to Raiders I doubt they will carry Nicoll Kocks-Bad and Frawley in the bench.

One of their wingers to drop out, Dumamis Lui to come into 17, Rapana back to wing and Nicoll to full back is my tip

 

[Will on the hill]

9 of the starting 26 have given names starting with J, that has to be some sort of record.

 

[Nordburg]

My memory isn’t very good and I couldn’t be bothered looking back,but was Funa in the 21 last week?

 

[Dan]

Suli can not defend..........I hope he has been working hard on that area because Raiders will be throwing everything at him

 

[Pete W]

De Luis has done far more than Siro to deserve a bench spot

What an odd observation... thanks for informing us

I agree. They are light in the forwards without he Dogs pair and Lui. The give has to be Lui in and Clog starting at FB/Rapana terrorising Sully.

Interesting to see Harper switching sides and Suli paring with Saab.

I think you will find they just swapped jersey numbers and Harper and Saab will still line up on the right. Hopefully anyway, no way you could split those two up with the combo they've developed this season

I noticed the number change too. I wonder if it just players have a number preference when given the choice.

i doubt Harper and Suli be switching sides. Des has not moved Harper even when Suli has started during the origin period.

Harper has to defend on the right, Raiders favoured attacking side.

The 2 starting packs include 4 Joshes, a Jake and a Joe. Should be a joyous game, unless its jinxed!

Would be very odd just to give them different numbers and not change them positionally. Who knows, maybe Des pulling the wool to muck up Rickys prep
