Round 1 Team after seeing the trial

[TheDaBoss]

i really enjoyed the pies game, it was a good game

 

[FOD001]

I must’ve been watching a different game 😳

 

[Spartan117]

My team after seeing the trial-

ANYONE as long as McQueen, Marshall and Farah don’t play

I think you may be disappointed here.

Hard to pick this year…

Mbye
1 of Jennings/Thompson/ Nofo
Momirovski (Fonua if PM not fit)
Marsters
1 of Jennings/Thompson/ Nofo
Reynolds
Brooks
Mats
Farah
Packer
Matterson
Garner (for Rowdy)
Taylor (huth if not fit)

Liddle
Twal
Mikaele
MCK

Can't pick 2 wingers that I'm confident in at this stage. I fear it can be hard for players like Corey who put in 100% and had a great season last year. He is physically outmatched virtually every week and sometimes that means even your best efforts can go unrewarded. Nofo... well I don't want to upset anyone. I love his input and I hope he can stay calm enough in defence to not stay in when his inside is covered.

Had to work with 2 Manly fans today and geez it was a long day.

They couldn't stop talking about their trial against the Roosters (ISP) team. Hope we win this game…

 

[hobbo]

Did you mention that not one Roosters grand final player played in the manly trial game !

Hope your on decent coin !

 

[supercoach]

I say Liddle has to be on the 17 with either Marshall or Reynolds missing out

 

[amalfitiger]

you can't possibly have Nofa and Thompson ahead of Jennings based on results and stats!!

 

[hsvjones]

Just watched the trail game and not as bad as I thought.
No way Josh R should be starting 6 and would be 14 at best.
Jennings on wing not Centre and Farah at 9.
We will miss Lawrence big time though

 

[WT2K]

Chris Lawrence suffered severe fractures to multiple bones in his face (per @MichaelChammas) & after arriving back in Australia today will require surgery. Severe/complex fractures of multiple facial bones can require up to 10-16 weeks recovery (eg Josh Mansour last year) nrlphysio

 

[hobbo]

Not good at all .

 

[Geo]

Get well soon Rowdy..

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

Has Chris been able to fly back to Australia yet? Last I heard he was still stuck in NZ waiting for the swelling to go down so he could fly.

 

[WT2K]

What the hell they doing at training to cause this much damage

 

[Geo]

What the hell they doing at training to cause this much damage

A clash with Matalino's head apparently

 

[prattenparkchild]

I don't mean it badly or literally, but it's a pity Mats can do same damage to opposition rather than friendly fire on own side.

 

[Sabre]

you can’t possibly have Nofa and Thompson ahead of Jennings based on results and stats!!

Yes you can, easily.
And seeing as Madge selected Jennings in the centres for the Warriors trial rather than his preferred position of wing I think it is highly likely Nofa and Thompson will be ahead of him.

 

[Harvey]

Shame Matulino hasn't made that sort of impact on opposition players in the year he has been here.
