Grandfinal 2011 Thread....1

Was it me or did it seem like Kite was a bit stand offish in his hit-ups. Really impressed witn Vic Mauro and I believe we have Lussick back.

Not fussed who we play, it is noticable in attack when Glen isn't slotting in as a link to Lyon. He'll be back, which should bring more control in attack.

Like to see Foran take on the line more like he did earlier in the year. If we have both halves testing the defence we should really give the oppo headaches.

 

[jbl31649]

Those are the main changes from the 2008 team - what is funny is that if it wasn't for injury and both King and Wolfman were pronounced fit, who would be dropped from the current team to accommodate for them? I don't see Lussick getting a look-in either, unless T-Rex is suspended.

It was sad what happen to Wolfman. He started to really shine again getting back to his best. As long as we don't lose both we'll be fine. If we do it will be alot tougher, but our depth has been tested all year, so we are no strangers to a situation like this.

The love of God, beat that New Ltd, manufactured, soulless, cheating scum Melbourne.

I'm am not worried about the replacement for Matai if he is suspended. Hoppa will do a good job, but I am concerned about bringing in Oldfield on the wing.

Kite's been a passenger ever since the conclusion of the 2008 GF. The sooner he goes to England, the better.

Matai wont play, which is a shame. I would have loved to see him belt Slater or Smith...again

Yeah he is a risk for the most important match of the year. As long as T-Rex is fine, we'll not need Oldfield. Not wanting to bag the young bloke, but he still has issues in defence and over runs his centre alot.

T-Rex can always revert back to centre in Matai's place.

 

[ceagle]

No to T-Rex at centre, Hoppa has to be centre.

Don't get your hopes up. You will not win the GF next week Warriors or Melbourne will destroy you by at least 30+ and all of you will be crying home in your basement having a sausagefest.

:lol: @ butthurtbroncosfan

Congrats guys, all the best next week.

You guys must be so proud of DCE, that game last night was as good a game from a halfback I have seen in a long long time, and to do that as a rookie was brilliant, he could win the Clive Churchill Medal next week if you guys win ( which I think you will ) then I'd pick him in the Aussie Squad for the upcoming tour.

Your management knew what they were doing by not worrying about getting into a bidding war to keep Trent Hodkinson.

thanks champ, yeah.. dce has shocked all of us, he is a talent

 

[Masoe_eats_babies]

Both guys should be playing, anything to the contrary is just irrational Manly hatred. Good luck next week, I hope we smash you though

 

[broncos2010]

Should play hoppa in the centers he can do the job and bring oldfield on the wing.

 

[manly40gimps0]

Great idea, I'll ring Des now.

 

[broncos2010]

Great idea, I'll ring Des now.

If he can play center for nsw I am sure he can handle it for manly :roll::roll:


Plus he is a great player and never sees much of the ball on the wing.

 

[Sea_Eagles_Rock]

We have 2 international centres, why would we move a NSW winger?

Matai cleared.

 

[randy chicken]

Mattai free to play ???????????worst decision ever...the bloke is a grub.....i am now a warriors supporter this week.....

 

[CC_Eagle]

Matai cleared and T-Rex will get off with an early plea.

Great news, albeit surprising. Straight after it happened I had conceded that we'd be playing without Matai.

Oh bugger! What will we all do now?
hahaha who gives a shit if you and every other Manly hater go for the Warriors.
Go the Eagles!!!

and Glen Stewart back, what a time to have our full strength side come together woo hoo.....Let the hating being all you non believers!

 

[ceagle]

Don't forget Lussick

 

[jbl31649]

Don't forget Lussick

Yeah and Lussick. But, going to be hard to drop Mauro he is doing well. If it was me I'd drop Kite (I no it wont happen), but our young forwards in Lussick and Mauro are very impressive this year.

We have a strong backrow. See the team like this:

1. B.Stewart
2. Robertson
3. Lyon
4. Matai
5. Hopa
6. Foran
7. Cherry-Evans
8. Galuvoa
9. Ballin
10. Kite (prefer Lussick)
11. Watmough
12. T.Williams
13. G.Stewart

14. Buhrer
15. Rodney
16. Rose
17. Mauro/Lussick
