Lichaa to make 50 tackles but only score 51 fantasy points

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Good to see Timmah still makes a fool of himself. Manly by 14.

 

[oval]

Manly will win cos the Doggies are f**king shjt

 

[grouch]

Brett Stewart apparently expected to be ruled out. Trbojevic to fullback.. who goes to wing?

Brings the Dogs right back into this

Will be either Williame or Lavaka.

I'd like to see Lavaka get a run but believe Williame will get the gig. (Only because of Williame's curse in first grade, but he has played great in the trials/nines)

 

[Dogs Of War]

Sea Eagles: Siosaia Vave is set to replace Feleti Mateo (ankle) on the bench. Brett Stewart is in doubt with a hamstring injury, with Tom Trbojevic set to switch from the wing to fullback if Stewart is ruled out, and one of Fabian Goodall or Halauafu Lavaka on standby to cover the wing spot.

Bulldogs: Will Hopoate, Moses Mbye and James Graham have all been cleared to return from injuries and will start as named.

I like this. I think the Dogs should go alright. Not sure about Hoppa yet, I suppose I can only remember how bad he was for Parra. Hopefully Des has put a rocket under him.

 

[Tipster]

With Snake out, have to side with the Doggies in this one. They are paying good odds for the win actually.

 

[Bazal]

Christ if Goodall plays wing, Dogs by thousands....

Why? Like all the other Eels "rejects" that we pick up, he'll likely thrive in a winning culture

Williame will get the spot anyway.......another one of the Eels rejects!

Because it's like putting a large barque on the wing ffs. Except HMS Endeavour would be better under a high ball...

It's not about him lacking ability as a footballer but it'd be like us putting Manu Ma'u or Kenny Edwards on the wing. Lavaka (another ex Eel) has to play if it's between him and Goodall. He's got a few issues but he's a natural winger at least. Williame sucks.

 

[BunniesMan]

Manly by a long way. No Morris, no magic for the Dogs. I think it'll be a similar game to last night with the Dogs playing the role of Parra.

Well fear not, as far as I can see he is 3rd in line behind Williame and Lavaka.

Honest question for manly fans...

I keep seeing things about how manly will improve and be movers this year. Where do you expect that to come from?

Compared to last year, I'd say your halves are not as good.
Your middle is an improvement
Your edge is not as good
Your hooker is neutral.
Your coach is not as good

Do you have a massive amount of players coming back from injury that I've missed?

Koroisau & Parcell will offer a lot more than Ballin, the middle has improved drastically. Edge is pretty similar overall, coach being worse is a complete guess.

The only place they've got noticeably worse is the Halves, whilst improving in virtually every other aspect.

Edit: Not a Manly fan

I see why you would move ballin on and I think manly's hookers will have huge upside in the future. But I think that at this stages of their respective careers there is not a massive difference between ballin last year and the new hookers this year. I think they're good, but they won't be as consistent as ballin.

The edge has Nathan green starting. He is not an improvement on anyone.

Barrett is a favorite son of my club. It is only a guess as you say, but I think manly will be very disappointed with him.

 

[Miller was a legend]

Well I for one am hoping Barrett doesn't disappoint me

 

[seaeagle sam]

Manly 2134 to about 6. Who the f**k is Trent Barrett by the way?

 

[seaeagle sam]

Good luck doggies fans, by the way.

 

[betcats]

I hate Manly

 

[Cletus]

Manly by shitloads. Great looking team this year, can't believe we've put it together to be honest.
