your team vs Manly

[BlackWhiteGold]

I'd put my left nut on Mason being fullback on Thursday. One thing Benji has shown is faith in youngsters he rates so Mason will be fullback for our remaining games barring injury.

If s*** does hit the fan on Thursday night with dropped bombs, he will have the fallback of putting Staines back there in defence anyway.

I’d swap Pole and Seyfarth but apart from that minimal changes expected.

Klem has been in our top 3 players last 2 weeks and you want to replace him with a kid who can't make the worst nsw cup team in the comp

Faagutu's season has been interrupted by injuries but when he's played he's been excellent. I'm concerned that the reason he's not been promoted like others is because he's not in the club's long-term plans or else he's agitating for a release. He's only signed until next year and his manager is Isaac Moses, which doesn't augur well.

Mason shows some promise and will only get better.....BUT up against DCE and Turbo he will be picked apart, It is up to Benji to make the right choice...although our only other real option in stains would probably suffer the same fate as mason.

Up to our forwards to put in the effort with line speed to keep the pressure on DCE & Brooks. Should be Sam Fainu & Seyfarth's mission on the edges to pressure both (much like what Bateman did to Hynes early in the season).

Haha, the manly fans are already putting the 2 points on the ladder, and calling Brooks MoM. High 5s all round until they came across a sobering stat.

2017 Rd23 lost 30-26

So nothing in the past 5 years?
Were any of the current blokes here in 2019?

Not since rnd 1 2019. Twal is the only survivor, if you don’t count Brooks and Aloiai, who will line up for Manly. But as you know, it’s not necessarily who plays, it’s the crowd’s roar of encouragement that can get them home at LO.

Concedes less than 20 points.

Mid June was the lady time we managed that... Until Lady sat

 

[Telltails]

Manly concede plenty of points too but they have got us for speed and size.
Of all the games Id love to win this season it's this one. So many ex Tigers - but sadly can't see it happening.

Is anyone getting a sausage sizzle from the Luke Brooks BBQ stall?

Yeah … would love to win this one ..but not feeling it…

Manly are playing well this year …they could put one on if they are in the right mood

Doueihi didn't train today with swelling around his knee, according to 7 News.

If he doesn't get up, does Junior Tupou or Latu Fainu or Josh Feledy come into left centre? Interesting one!

Junior Tupou to the centres. The Kiwi to the wing. Latu on the bench.
