[Sabre]

Any bet Farah will be a late inclusion assuming he pulls up alright from Origin

 

[krayola]

Have a very good shot against Manly's very average front row. Curious to see how Mateo goes off the bench for them but otherwise we've got their number.

 

[851]

Isn't Halatau injured ?

 

[Chainlink]

Running out of hooker options if farah and halatau both not fit. Big ask for cherrington to play another full 80\. If unfit, would we see Luani off the bench?

Isn't Halatau injured ?

Latest injury update says they are expecting Halatua to play

doubt it… Origin 3 will take precedence over WT matters.

Farah will be playing injured tomorrow night. While he may have passed the necessary fitness tests, there's no way his shoulder is 100%

Provided the rest of the squad lines up, I think we can roll Manly but we have to start strong. If we get put onto the back foot early at Brookvale, it's all over. Expect it to be wet and slippery too.

 

[Tigerdon]

So unlike the Tigers to be hoping for a wet track

 

[marzie]

If Farah plays, halatau to 2nd row, Lovett to bench ?

 

[stevied]

I would actually like to see Cherrington start. He's looked good in first grade and gets the team going forward with his darts form dummy half. Also, dare I say it, but does the Tiger attack flow more without Farah out there? Maybe Brooks and Moses have more confidence to run the show in his absence.

The ball certainly seemed to flow quicker from the play the ball to the halves hands. Got a long way to go and may never reach Farah's standard of defence, but sadly already has him covered in most other areas. Time marches on, with Robbie nearing the end of his moment in the sun, and rapidly at that.

Gotta love how they send out a MEMBERS EXCLUSIVE email with the team 30 minutes after it's on their website and social media pages.

Now we know why Mayer was walked… But agree pathetic timing

hopefully we can bring in the form we had against the Bunnies

 

[tigertye]

Manly are very beatable. Just need to stay focused and play with the energy that we showed last week. We looked fast out there against the Bunnies and their big boys couldn't stay with us for the 80.

To be honest, I'd prefer if Farah doesn't play to have another look and compare.

 

[Tigerdon]

If Dean is fit. No need for Robbie to back up.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

So I take it Cherrington drops off if Farah is fit? Wonder who Buchanan is coverage for?

Ideal scenario is that Farah doesn't back up from Origin, and Cherrington gets more minutes. He looked sharp last week and should definitely cement a spot on the bench to give the team a bit of spark when Farah comes off rather than just running in a holding pattern until Farah/Woods/Galloway/Taupau get brought back on.

 

[cktiger]

Don't think you'll see Farah.
They won't needle him up twice in that space of time.
