Des Hasslers Dilema

[andrew057]

If Lestrange gets a run at full strength for you guys, I think Des has alot to answer for.

Matai is an absolute certainty for us, he is a very important player for us

Des Has a problem Manly are going very well and have found some fine new talent which are performing so well that makes life very hard for Desi. Why because Manly are soon to get some experienced players back. Lestrange, Brett stewert and Mattai. So what does des do with those new finds that have set the world on fire? Rose ,Farrah,Foran.??

Does des put lestrange in and remove one of the best form forwards George rose? or put another hooker in the pack? can we afford 2 hookers when we can strenghten our forward pack with Rose.

Another headache for des is what do do with Farrah who has been the find of the year. He reminds me of legend steve rogers a brilliant centre stable well balanced fast with excellent cover defence. Also hes a try scorer and backs up like the old menzies. Hes been a revelation so will mattai replace him?

Another headach for des is this young sensation Keiran Foran hes been brilliant can we have a 5/8 playing superb go back to toyata cup or will dez put the out of form bailey in 5/8 or will jamie lyons take that spot and keep Farrah in centre with no place for Foran?

Also when snake returns what happens to T REX? i dont think Manly can afford to have a giant dangerous winger like that out . I know he has his weekness but hes a try scorer and can turn a game on its head when he sparks.

Also what does Manly do with an experience tried and tested cutherbston? can he be chucked in toyata cup for good when he was a pivatol reason for manlys success last year, Hes simply too young too experienced too talented to not have running.

So whats the solution , Does dez introduce a rotation system to keep all players fresh and match hardened or sack some young sensations who have helped manly win 8 of their last ten games and one loss was during origin when half their team was out.

My solution is that Farrah Rose and Foran are playing too good and its risky to just go back to their early year side that was playing terrible.

One certain casulty will have to be Heath lestrange we cant afford 2 hookers in a side when so much talent is available. Rose cant be dropped hes become with watmough our best forward so who goes? Kyte? Kytes been sleepy and lazy all year.

Id hate to be Dez hazler hes got some tough decisions coming up sack form players or reinstate the well known ones whove played terrible early in the season.:crazy:

First of all it's spelled FARRAR - he's from Newcastle, not Lebanon. Secondly I am still absolutely filthy we let him go for that useless nuffy Bani. Farrar has potential superstar written all over him, whereas Bani will spend his career as a fringe first grader. Any winger who can't score a try in FIVE games is worse than useless.

But by all means, drop him from the side once Stewart comes back. I would LOVE for the Cowboys to get him back, and offer him the guaranteed spot in the starting lineup he deserves instead of more depth for Manly.

Ha Ha Ha what a swap yr coach must be gullible Bani was a tantmount disaster hasler was praying for someone to buy him but he found an idiot who agreed to him in return for the future Australian center Farrar. We will never give him back .:lol::lol:

Best team :

1. B.Stewart
2. Robbo (average fullback but great winger)
3. Lyon (better centre than 5/8)
4. Farrar (cant beat form)
5. D.Williams (not as good as I thought after what Inglis did to him in Origin 3)
6. Foran (can run, pass, tackle)
7. Orford (sooo over-rated. Would trade him for most other halkbacks on other teams. this guy needs to work on his kicks, playmaking decisions and tackles! On the team by default. Bring back Monaghan!)
8. Perry
9. Ballin (not as dangerous as LeStrange with his scoots but more solid in defence)
10. King
11. Watmough
12. G.Stewart
13. Matai (great hitter but can get caught out in defence playing centres. More effective in attack with dummy half runs and hitups than in centres as he has no fend)

Bench :
14. Rose (best front-rower in attack, on bench cause question the fitness. Lazarus the 2nd)
15. LeStrange
16. Cuthbertson (weak in defence but so dangerous with offloads)
17. Hall

Unlucky :
Rodney, Bailey (too slow to play back, too weak to play fwd), T.Williams, Kite (runs at the line 100miles an hour but never seems to break a tackle. Doesnt offload)

some interesting combinations i dont think anyone has come up with them yet.

Matai in the forwards is different but having foran in the side is good. Also yr right about bailey he not good enough and cutho is dangerous on his day.

Are you cutherbston by any chance?:lol:

 

[clipser]

Adam has better things to do today he has to find a new apartment in the shire actually! trying to convince mates to move in with him.. ha

 

[eagles4eva]

Kite was useful on the weekend, i would still have him on the bench, i would stick with Ballin as a 80minute player (like he has down for the past few weeks) keep the extra foward on the bench, likely Rodney

 

[Terry-Randal]

looks like le strange will miss out as he played in the queensland cup over the weekend.
