Team List Tuesdays ... Should be a ripper.

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

When he was on early we had only a 50% completion and very little possession ... not many opportunities to run ..

That first half was a wipeout. I thought he went OK on the night and as you allue to it depends when he was on the park as to the stats produced.

We could be worse off, we could be The Storm.

Their star fullback is out indefinitely.

They were flogged by Manly.

drop woods and cooper Johns , put Crocker at 6 and Lawton at 9, with weekes off the bench.. im not even a coach and i know what's going on ffs.. its not that hard... can we please start seeing these coaches given crap for picking the same team week in week out , Des used to cop it by some... If these guys lose this week , Penn better come out and say wtf is going on

 

[tookey]

Gees man go easy! You’re meant to save these comments for the post match thread! You are being a tad premature!

Just sayin’

Brookie, Maybe, Hopefully

 

[BirdMan4ever]

i would have aloai on the bench with bully starting.
i would love to see weeks at centre in place of parker

Does Seibold get a brown paper bag ftom Moses each time he selects Woods?

Thought we'd see changes but not disappointed to see us name the same squad. Maybe we don't have the cattle but I think it's just as likely we have suffered from a lack of continuity.

A lot of the criticism on ST lately has been directed at individual players and while some of it is warranted it's our ability to play as a team that has made us look good and bad depending on which game you're watching.

No good having big muscles if the connective tissue is letting you down.

Have a look at the Roosters and Dolphins, one team has all the stars and the other has none yet they're on the same points. Comes down to working together and taking pride in not letting your teammates down.

I have to disagree.

I'm a big supporter of our playing group in general but occasionally a player will come along who fails to deliver.

Josh Aloiai is a huge disappointment to the team.

I feel unless he turns into Superman in next 5 months he can join signings like Craig Feild as a total failure.

Its also not Cooper johns fault that he's bang average. congrats on making it to the NRL but some players are just there to make up the numbers.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Schu play…it could be ducks and drakes to prevent excess media coverage around his impending return. Name him an hour before kickoff and go from there.

Lots

Hope Koula and Parker warm the tackling shoulders up. Talakai, Ramien and Nikora have been strong on the edges this season.

I'm not sure where we win this to be honest. Sharks look stronger all over the park and our attack is stifled with John's in the 6. The ball just takes too long to hit Koula and Saab. Ola and DCE v the Sharks.

Anyway.. GO MANLY!

Surely Schu only plays if there is absolutely no issues with any niggles in any part of his body. I hope he is, however he is nowhere to be seen in any Manly training media releases

Otherwise watch the media and Silvertails buzzards attack.

Not saying that criticism of an individual player is unwarranted, just pointing out that our form depends on more nuanced things than dropping x players for y players.

funny how stats can be misleading. I was in Row 1 at the Manly end and Keppie to me at the ground looked lively, big, and strong. obviously, numbers and stats are king but ids drop Josh A first. he was putrid.

I was shocked with the stat when I read it too. I think we need to find a spot for Bullemor and think lock is his spot. He gives us the leg speed that we lack in our forwards.

Whats that definition of insanity?
