That's pretty close.

Sukkar into the 17 and Seyfarth dropped to the bench is good. Latu starting at 7is good. TDS as 14 is good.

Mason at fb is what it is.

Kudos to Benji for doing most of the shit I would do 😂

Bird? I actually don't mind it..

Bird should go ok on an edge, although we need his ability to play as 1st receiver at 13 also.
We lack tackle busting and unpredictability.
If anything Mason at fullback will help with that and possibly Bird on an edge also.
It’s a big ask to beat a desperate Manly team at Brookvale, but our line up looks like it potentially has more points in them than last weeks team line up, so if Benji releases the shackles and lets Tallyn rip, we could score 4 or 5 tries and it will just be a matter of whether or not we can reduce our own errors and defend reasonably well.

I think bird on an edge makes sense, now we have Latu at 7 and Luai at 6...

Our edges will be a threat now .
 
I feel sorry for Mason. If he has a shocker under the high ball, who’s gonna cop it? He is. He’ll be scapegoated and people will say he should never play FG again. When in reality, he didn’t pick himself there. It’s a bit unfair on the kid when he’s trying to find his feet and he’s thrust into a position he’s already shown he’s not cut out for.

I agree, but on the other hand I’m sick of having a fullback who doesn’t effectively combine with our halves like what happens at every other NRL club.
No idea if that’s a coaching issue or a player issue, but with Mason at fullback it’s more chance he combines with our other halves and allows our attack to look more dangerous because of it.

2018 I think was the last time.
 
I don't like Bird starting the last time he did he made no impact at all he's been best coming from the bench.
Should have started Sukkar there he's been good in his limited appearances.

I reckon we are a rough chance.
I can’t see us stopping them from scoring 4 or 5 tries minimum, so we are going to have to score more.

Luke at 18 is interesting and I wonder if he switches him and heath around an hour before the game..
 
Mason at FB ?
All Manly need to do is put up a bomb and out jump Mason
Could be a disaster ! Benji I doubt your judgement
I like our new halves pairing Luai at 6 Latu at 7
