Pre-Game Warriors V Manly [Round 2, 2025]

Loved last week's game but I'm thinking cowboys weren't great. Of course, the old adage that you can only play as well as your opposition let's you also carries weight in reviewing the game. A couple of times Ben T got run around in defence a slight concern - but no doubt work's been done on that. Pressure teams have tended to make Manly sloppy over the past couple of years but Wahs (no offence to them) aren't that type of team. Wahs at home = 8 points I reckon for them, especially as first game at home. Last couple of years Manly have also tended to drop games they should have won. Still, Sea Eagles by 8 for me and no injuries for Pete's sake!

What’s the story with Nathan Brown? Not named for second week in a row and no injury news 🤔

Good question. I've seen nothing on the club site or elsewhere. A bit hard to fathom given his form last year and his status as cult hero.

How fortuitous that Aloiai returns this week.

Let’s hope he doesn’t cost us the win this time around.

I thought his form at the back end of the season was only average and trial form was similar. But he did look hampered so probably injured.

He is surely injured. There's no way he wouldn't be named in at least NSW cup if he was fit.

Yes I presume so too. However, the absence of any news/update from the club is of concern

 

[Sorry]

Someone posted on FB that they spoke to him on Sat and he is back next week. Was in a moon boot apparently

 

[rj90]

Can confirm he was in a moon boot

Isn't he doing a boxing fight?

Shutting down Egan will be huge. Man did a really good job in d on him and Johnson last year.

That’s my thought also, my hope is Egan plays 80 minutes as that hurts his running game, Healey is on the extended bench and if he comes in they will test the ruck.

Isnt that lodge?

 

[The Insomniac]

Not being funny here. Respect and love all the hard work people put in for this great website but @Jethro can you please use our current MWRLFC club emblem for your pre-game / teams post each week ? I'll show myself out.

The pressure is really on him now too. Plenty of competition for spots. Hopefully that brings the best out in him and all the pack.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

We have enough props so Seibold doesn't have to use him as an undersized battering ram. he should be in the backrow or lock not in the front row rotation. One weakness Brownie has is his lateral movement in defence and he can be caught out by late footwork.

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Quick dummy half plays,spread the ball out wide & we’ll romp it in.Plus it’s not the middle of winter.
