TEAM LIST Round 11 vs Manly

[Jedi_Tiger]

Yes, Herbert will be opposite Koula which doesn’t look good, however KPP will be on his defensive edge (If Sione starts at second row he will be on the other side). Madden unfortunately also on this side.

Brooks lines up on that side too,
Brooks & Koula will torch Herbert on that side

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

It's the Hope Geyer Seyfarth Roberts bench where we lose it. 3 of them lose the collision and the other is a rookie.

Thankfully we are locking down most of our team and once that is done we need to pick up a few average NRL players in reserve to replace most of the above.

Seyfarth goes ok defensively he has a go
Roberts will go well when he gets a chance
I am a bit meh with geyer
Poor old hope he is pathetic in defence

if we get those manly forwards on a bad day, olakuatu could drop a few balls, we might be a rough hope at $3.20
hope they dont run at Herbert too often, it might give us a chance

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

manly’s due a loss

based on ?
there 5 wins from last 6, they are closer to a loss ?
or was it the 2 point loss to penrith perhaps that seals the deal ?

 

[old_man_tiger]

Id like $5 for every time ive read this

I think he gets paid the same way mate. 240,000 times a year equals 1.2mil

 

[Flippedy]

manly are probably due for a loss they have been playing above themselves red lining the last few games.
If we can out muscle in the forwards we can put some pressure in and you never know.

I've had a very small bet in the Tigers but not with very much confidence, I'm punting on no out and out suoerstsrs in that manly team and if we can kind of go the knuckle you never know.

Due for a loss? They lost 2 weeks ago.

 

[Fraze23]

Manlys line speed has been ferocious lately.
I hope Latus dummy half service is pin point accurate

Can't be worse than two steps Hope.

I think the last two weeks has shown how much we miss Api.
He IS the focal point of our attack. Everything good we do happens off fhe back of him and we are spoilt by his craftiness, as we look so pedestrian when he is not there.
He also leads our defensive line speed. We looked so good in this area. I think he and Douiehi to a lesser extent are the big outs we seem to be struggling with.

 

[Tom Shines]

Surely a change to the line up by game day, just to prove BM is not losing the plot with his team selections.

Won’t happen in regards to Skelton…

Perfect! cause we are due for a win 😉

 

[Speed2burn]

Not that it means anything, but supposedly we actually have a good record in magic round. 4 wins, 2 losses

Where as manly only have 1 win and 5 losses

 

[Siberian Kitten]

I just hope it's not a cricket score, as current form suggests. Our best hope is if they are complacent.

 

[Tired Tiger]

I'm going to Bali tomorrow, can watch NRL live in the bars no problem.

Not sure I want too tho, it may just just ruin my holiday if they get spanked again .....

 

[stevied]

Ok… lol … a week ago a gazillion people were saying Turuva had to be back on the right wing … now he needs to be the Center …he probably is the best Fullback, Winger or Right Center we have available for selection,,,

I’ve given up thinking Skelton will be picked again … he has done something to put BM offside

Turuva back in the centres was a no brainer. He can tackle and we were still winning games with him there....

Im glad he signed that extension (along with Bula& Taylan May) till 2030. Good to have a few reliable outside backs.

 

[Flippedy]

Could not have been given a more corrupt couple especially Klein in the bunker, Manly win as we will be battling with calls all game and Klein is a lunatic in the bunker

Who was in the bunker when the Roosters were awarded that ‘clearly knock on’ try last week? Please tell me it wasn’t Klein. I’m sure they all just have a piss up in the bunker, you couldn’t possibly make the mistakes they make sober.

 

[Flippedy]

Manly are way overachieving on paper their team is bottom 4

Every team that Manly has beaten in their winning run has turned to shit when they’ve played them. Have a look at the games. The Dolphins, Cowboys and even the Broncos were uncharacteristically bad against them, inept even. Either they have cast some sort of a spell or Fozzie bear is spiking the opposition teams drinks before the game, I don’t know, but it’s really weird what’s going on with Manly. Penrith were the only ones immune to their ‘powers’, but they are in a league of their own. Even then they only beat them by two points!

 

[Runningit11]

Spot on regarding Manly
It all started with the Dolphins putting in one of the worst NRL team performances in recent memory
And it kept occurring with the other teams which they have played up to this stage
Weird
We just need to turn up and play to our strengths even minus the 4 big outs

So hopefully we smack them

 

[liltiger]

As good as it can be i guess with all the injuries. Glad Latu is at 9 and hopes on the bench. Cant see us doing much tbh just want the guys to compete.

Adam 6 again gee, ]

I don’t think we get lapped , or should I say I hope we don’t but maybe Benji can get into their heads this week and have them up to compete , I can see a very tough game and a close one , not sure we win but we need to fight hard from the start , get the pill and don’t give it up , Fast play the balls to try and get those bloody 6 agains rolling , but most important tie them up when tackling them the late pass when we have 3 guys trying to hold a player and he still gets it away is just a team killer , tie them up , , deep kicks into their 10/20 area and to the sides , try for some 40/20 kicks just don’t bomb , Forwards need to dominate straight up , go up the middle as I think we can win it in the forwards , May do his normal thing , Pole needs to charge on to it and be aggressive , Hunt when called on needs to be relentless in both defence and his runs , Luke Brooks needs to be stopped early don’t let him run and link up , stop him early takes him out of the game , just my rant
