Your team vs Parra

Bit short on middles. If Twal is out I’d go Kepoa and bring him on final 30 with Papilii moving to lock for last 15/20 of the match. Not ideal but think it’s our best bet.

Anyone see nsw cup over the weekend? How’d Kepoa go?

Only marginally involved, but he did have a try assist & a few line breaks.

Matamua was pretty good, to be fair. And my man Sukkar had his second solid outing.

Matamua had a few line breaks, offloads & made quite a few tackles- so he probably had the most 'complete' performance.

Last week Moses had 3 try assists, 2 line break assists, 1 line break and saved a certain try from Brooks grounding the ball.

Without him last week, Parra don't get close to Manly.

Everything they do centres around him. He's the biggest possible out for that side. Cartwright, their most in-form forward is now also out.

Cut the head (Paulo and RCG) off this snake (eel) on Monday and they're dead.

It's a huge chance for us this week.

Of course it's a big opportunity, but if they go in thinking that they'll be a lesser team, they could play them in to the game. Just saying that we don't want complacency.

Winning half the amount of games we've won in
the last few season (in the first couple of games) is
crazy when you think about it, but I've got us winning

I think Twal might be out.

Sione Fainu was mentioned online, but he's been out with that foot/ankle.

Realistically, in the perfect 'next man up' world, it's our 18th man's turn- Kepaoa.

I quite like the narrative around Matamua though- who i think has looked improved in KOE so far.

My long-shot chance, but the guy I'm quite eager to see break through this year, is Sukkar. Dude looks built for NRL. Solid defender in KOE as well. Doesn't look like a young kid learning his role in that side.

I hope Sione isn't rushed too early, you don't want him getting a foot stressy if that's what they were cautious about.

If Matamua isn't selected, he's either 'on the outer' or has to meet certain fitness kpis before being a consideration.

This is it. Only attack to this side. Harper on the wing is crazy oversight.

Indeed. Hopoate isn't the best defender neither. And
the Cartwright out will stress their whole line out
wide. Manly had heaps of overlaps running the ball
at them, on the other hand I think Simonssons back

Would you think Sukkar is any chance of an NRL call up in the short to medium term?
 
I know I’m a bit late but no need to change a winning team( except through injury), exactly the right thing by Benji.
We need a big repeat of last week, I watched the Eels game yesterday and they really worked their way into it.
Admittedly losing Moses works in our favour but they were hard at the ruck, something we have to learn to do regularly if we are to be successful.
Reckon it will be a full house on Monday and hope we can continue in and not be a one hit wonder.
Go the Tigers !
