Walker, Sironen, Suli

[The better Robbo]

Ok mate
Parker is a better centre than Walker
Believe what you want to

Not saying who is better. Walker clearly has more skill, but it's not always the best player that's best for the team.

We will agree to disagree and GO MANLY !!! 🙂

yes mate - as we have both said.... we have a very very positive outlook and it was never as bad as the deathriders tried or are still trying to make us all believe.

 

[Heckenberg]

Then the question is does Walker play right or left? Des seems to have Parker higher on the list than most of us do. I fear Des will drop Harper before Parker.

No chance he drops Parker after how he’s been playing.

 

[BOZO]

Didn't we come 6th under Barrett? Just saying

It was Under Bozo when he was head of operations

When they fell out and Baz went solo we came second last

To play great you need to perform at high standards in both defence and attack

How how great as you say and effective was Parker in attack ?

And how great is Walker in defence?

 

[BOZO]

No chance he drops Parker after how he’s been playing.

Parker the way he is playing is an automatic selection for the Blues team

 

[BOZO]

And how great is Walker in defence?

Name me a player that represented his country that was not a great defender

Hey, lets be thankful that we aren't having to rely on back rowers playing centre right now. I think we've all had enough of that $hit the past half-decade or so with the likes of Tom Symonds, Lewis Brown and Jetski seemingly playing more games in the three quarters for us than they did the back row.

0-4 and -122 and 'it was never that bad'... that'll do me...

Sorry I meant Harper. I can’t see him dropping Parker either though.

good mate - please pass in future on my comments or thoughts... I just have no idea. I apologise for that and know you are far more knowledgeable than me and for that matter that plod Hasler as well....... Just wondering what NRL team you coached ..... maybe you are Cranky Frank Stanton?

Walker will be super strike in the current Manly team....thing is I agree Parker is earning his spot big time.
He is crunching players in defence and making ugly runs that go unnoticed.
Not about to claim Parker is a gun centre, but happy to say he plays to his ability and enables the strike players like Turbo and DCE to strike.
Its a team game and Parker is a team player.

Hahaha... give it away... name me the last time a team started 0-4 and -122 and went onto play semis...

Defend des all you like but 'never that bad' is a 'stretch' (at the very least)

I would keep Suli out since I like Morgan Harper alot, adds good foot work in attack and is defending well. Walker would add x-factor back at 3 and Parker is playing well, hard decision to make. Sironen should be left out until injuries hit us again. No need to change the team imo..

99% of the Pommy backlines of the 1980s. Guys like Martin Offiah and Des Drummond may have been the fastest runners of their time, but neither could defend worth a damn.

 

[The better Robbo]

Walker to #14 until an injury opens the door for him. He's not back for 5 or 6 weeks anyway so a lot can happen between now and then!

I have never intimated that at all @Shane4500 and its not what I think...

Plenty of us have different views on topics and I do like to debate... Apologies if I come across as rude as I only meant that things WERE really bad... they MAY have turned but that does negate the poor situation that we were in after 4 rounds... imo of course...
