Strongest 17 .....Guessing

[winnyason]

1. B.Stewart 2. Robinson 3. Matai 4. Farrar 5 . D. Williams
6. Lyon 7. Foran
13. Bailey 12. G. Stewart 11. Watmough 10. King 9. Ballin 8. Perry
Bench: Rose, Kite, T. Williams, Galuavo.
Hodkinson, W. Hopoate, Matt cross, terrence seu seu all to play through the year. Side looks ok to me alot reliance on watmough to be top 4 side.

 

[Dutchy]

T.Williams will start the year in the centres with Farrar injured.

OR, Lyon to the centres, with Foran/Hodko full time with Farrar filling that bench spot as the utility.

I still think that Des will keep Rose on the bench as a impact forward, starting with King and Perry

 

[seaeagleray]

I am with Liam. Have Foran and Hodkinson in the halves. As if Jamie get the captain gig let him play in his prefered position. And you never know if the two young fellas can gel well together they may be a orsome pairing for years to come.

Didn't realise Farrar was injured. What's wrong with him?

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

Training pix from the Manly daily from Tuesdays session, he looks ok to me now

 

[Dutchy]

No physical stuff yet though. Fairly certain he just had shoulder surgery.

 

[Cletus]

Torn pec apparently. Looks ok in BEs photo though, he loks like he's bulked up a little.

The speedy 20-year-old gets his chance in the run-on team with established centres Ben Farrar (torn pectoral) and Steve Matai (shoulder) both ruled out.

That will be the team except Seu Seu for Galuava

 

[MSIH]

I don't expect Robinson to be one of the wingers tbh.

 

[Dutchy]

Really? He has been a rock for 3 seasons, never put a foot wrong.

 

[MSIH]

Pretty sure he's contracted with Canberra.

 

[GB!]

i totally agree.
but robertson should hold his spot, HE has been a rock for 3 seasons, never put a foot wrong.
:lol:

 

[Cletus]

He resigned with us last year I think.

MANLY have confirmed the re-signing of premiership winning wing duo Michael Robertson and David Williams.
Robertson, who scored a hat-trick in the Sea Eagles' 2008 NRL grand final win, looks likely to finish his career at the club with the new deal. The 26-year-old has played 104 successive matches since joining Manly in 2006, scoring 46 tries.

Guys, guys. It's a Robertson/Robinson joke.

Everyone knows Robbo is the best winger at the club, and won't miss a single minute of footy (again) this year.

 

[Cletus]

Woops.

The only question regarding the sides makeup is who is going to wear the no.7.....If Hodkinson can hold the position down , then manly will have a rock solid team across the park. Assuming he can , Foran the no.6 and lyon in the centres with matai as first pick centre.....Apart from the no. 3/4 and 6/7 , the rest of the side pretty much picks itself or will have form players in those positions.

3/4 = matai / lyon
6/7 = foran and hadkinson
= ideally

Otherwise if Hodkinson cant handle the no. 7 , id be tempted to try Farrer and leave everyone as is...meaning lyon plays centre and isnt moved around week to week etc , and foran gets to play the no.6..again no changes week to week because of one player.

farrer at no. 7...whatdyareckon ????

He has done OK when he has been on the park for us but i would think that if Farrer had the talent of a 7 then it would have been unearthed well before this.
