TEAM LIST Round 11 vs Manly

[innsaneink]

Souths to come unstuck this weekend?
Theyre outsiders $2.20 on Tab.
Dolphins always slow to get going, can see tho why they're favourites...tough game.to pick

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Parramatta are an absolute yoyo this season. I picked them to beat the Cows last week because I figured they were due for a win and the Cows a loss, but I think the Storm roll them this week. You could drive a truck through some of the holes in the Eels defensive line.

cowboys dropped so much ball against Parramatta, it shouldn't have even been close.
Think Parramatta play Munster Grant Hughes etc further into form this week

Think $2.20 is pretty good

100th NRL game milestone for Alex Seyfarth on Saturday, rip in son!

I like the confidence.
I'm going to change my tip.

Lol my confidence might be high but I’m not playing! Don’t come after me if Parra lose ok 😂

Too true, up and down like many teams this season. When they’re on though they are good for an upset. I like what they did to the Bulldogs after the Dogs were coming off a confidence win over Penrith. Burst that bubble completely 😂

The 19 man bench is a bit difficult to manage but Seyfarth 100 and Roberts guranteeing a debut. If the game goes in a direction that doesn't suit Benji, I wonder what he does...

Reckon Roberts is odds on to come into the starting lineup with Fainu dropping back to the bench.

He’s my favourite baby giraffe I hope he turns into a bull this weekend.

I can always find a spot in my 17 for players with a high work rate and Seyfarth provides that even if he is not a high impact player.Balmain and the Magpies always had players like him working on the field.

He probably should have come on earlier against Melbourne. When he came on we stopped leaking points through the middle.

Big ask to defend against Hamole in your first game!

I think you just need a big, agile body against Hamuole, and Roberts is a big bloke, Hamuole does not have a big step or crazy agility, nor does he have great hands. He is just very physical and incredibly well balanced through contact. Its also why I think Samuela has a higher ceiling than him, more agile and better hands.

I got a feeling that we can win this one , it would be a huge boost for the team with the bye next , then we will have
API
AD - hopefully
BULA - hopefully
MAKA
All back , and pray we don’t get any more , and samula is back in about 7-10 weeks

Yeah I feel more confident with this game then the last two.

Firstly, the opposition isn't 'primed' for a big performance like the last two, so hoping Manly are a little flat.

Focus on looking after Olakau'atu rower and Koula, and need some luck with the high ball.

And I think we'll learn from our last two games, more control and an improved defence, so we'll be ready to fire and its the game before the bye.

And Terrel is back, a huge bonus.

 

[hank37w]

I’m stunned he’s picking us, Voss also. I’d love to know the reasoning too.

So that afterwards they can say they were taking the piss and just having a laugh.

Is that Michael Anus I can hear laughing already?

Does anyone know why it seems like every year Magic Round falls on a Broncos away game? You'd think they'd organise it so it was always a Broncos home game, otherwise it's not fair.

About... 2% chance of that happening.
Maybe less.

Oddly Mavrik Geyer is listed at 15, which to me means he will have a shot at playing.
I would like to see Ethan Roberts get a shot and particularly if we start leading/pulling away against the sea binchicks. It seems the Ibis have the backline and the halfback to put a number on us (Boy I would love Luai to school Brooks)... Yet we have the forward pack.

Latu, it's up to you to show Simpkin why he is a fringe grader.

Worried Olak'auatu will cause trouble for us.


Lastly it's Kiwi coach vs Kiwi coach. this should get interesting!

I'd love to hear Cronks reasoning in tipping us.
While I think hes a bit of a tool, he knows what hes talkin about when it comes to footy

Cronk rarely tips us. I feel like if he has any reason to be against us he will run with it.

My feeling is that we looked decent in attack in the last 20 minutes against Melbourne. Jock and Luai basically had no reps together, it took them a while to gel. Having Terrell back will stop our middle leaking, plus Latu will provide more physicality than Hope did.

Another point - Luai had Sione in space a number of times, if it was Samuela in his place we probably score another 1 or 2 tries. Hopefully these new combinations, albeit with only one game under their belt, will come to fruition.

My fear though, as many have already written here, is the Herbert vs Koula match-up. Koula is a scary player. He is both lightning fast and has good footy nous to put his winger away. The other scary match-up is Fogarty's kicking game vs our back three. Mason didn't really get tested last week, I suspect they will put more high-ball pressure on him than Melbourne did. Weirdly though I felt more assured with Mason than Turuva at fullback.

That seems to be the only logical move after Benji announced his debut. Idk how you can guarantee anyone on a six man bench plays, pending injuries. The only explanation would be if he starts.
