[Rabbits20]

Cmon Bunnies. This is an important one.

Will be tough.

 

[rabbitohs95]

Looking like DCE and Buhrer will be out. Koroisau to halfback to partner Walker, both former Rabbitohs.

Tom and Sam Burgess to return.

Hoping we can get the biscuits here but Manly are always dangerous at home.

Expect a crowd of >10k because some idiot put it on a Thursday night, why not Saturday or Sunday arvo? Ffs...

 

[Rhyno]

Souths by 8

 

[clipser]

Hard to pick this one... Taupau, Matai and Lawrence should return for Manly, but they lose DCE and Buhrer (debatable that DCE has even played well this year).

Burgess's to return...

Gonna go with the bunnies after last weeks performance, they will be wanting this

 

[TheFrog]

Dogs aren't even half as good as the Rabbitohs made them look the other night. Maybe S Burgess will stiffen them up, but not stiff enough to win at Brookvale I suspect, even with Manly possibly having the dodgiest halves pairing I've ever seen. Koroisau wasn't really at home when used in the halves at the hospital ward that was Penrith last year, unlikely he'll be any better here.

 

[Maroon4life]

Close game, give it to Manly at home.

Manly by 4

 

[Jimmy779]

DCE out, Moltzen/Lyon HLF. Buhrer out, in goes Brown starting and putting Lawrence on the bench.
Manly At Brookie, WIN by 18

 

[Vic Mackey]

Didn't manly sign issac john? Sure he's no world beater but at least he's a natural half.

 

[Vic Mackey]

DCE out, Moltzen/Lyon HLF. Buhrer out, in goes Brown starting and putting Lawrence on the bench.
Manly At Brookie, WIN by 18

Please make this happen. I haven't had a good old loltzen for ages.

 

[clipser]

Didn't manly sign issac john? Sure he's no world beater but at least he's a natural half.

He's certainly in the mix for team selection, and should be chosen for that reason. I'd assume Lyon would come infield and assist with the long kicking game on the grunt sets.

 

[Nice Beaver]

I see no reason at all to weaken the centres by moving Lyon.

If there was a ready made replacement for him then sure, why not. But our outside backs depth seems a bit thin.

No point in signing extra halves for depth if they are not going to be used. He's a pretty handy player, Isaac John so would much prefer to see him put in there.

 

[BunniesMan]

DCE out. Sam in. It's time we get back to winning.

 

[Rabbits20]

DCE out, Moltzen/Lyon HLF. Buhrer out, in goes Brown starting and putting Lawrence on the bench.
Manly At Brookie, WIN by 18

No way that'll happen.

Sam and Tom are back baby.

 

[Rabbits20]

DCE out. Sam in. It's time we get back to winning.

Correct.

Tom in too.

 

[Rabbits20]

Please make this happen. I haven't had a good old loltzen for ages.

I hope it happens.

 

[Whino]

Souths to bounce back.

 

[clipser]

i see what you did there

 

[BunniesMan]

Koroisau at halfback. A Korisau-Walker halves partnership. That's...interesting.
