Do I hear 14?

 

[Nutz]

Good to hear that he is focussed only on one game. It's the Storm showdown.

I'm quietly confident, we are a different team to previous ones.

Sa Fainu Vs Blore will be a good contest.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Im totally relaxed about this game, having no expectations is great haha. Last week I was shitting bricks for 2-3 days cause i thought it was a game we'd win. We're taking the Mrs out tomorrow for Mothers Day so I wont be watching, thinking I might avoid all spoilers and watch it around 7.30pm when the kids are down. That way I can just skip it if it looks like we're getting pumped.

 

[Das Hassler]

I think we'll do extremely well to win either of these two games before the bye, let alone both. Massive week ahead

Anderson and Papenhuyzen are two players that concern me and the leaping height of Coates.
Hughes is always a menace.
I think our forwards will hold their own.
Traditional footy is what's required. Solid hit ups, good kick and chase and pressure them in their red zone.
Melbourne can be be beaten this way. Stay in the fight.

We'll kick grubbers in goal then hahaha

garn the tiges, we've got this.

I rate the Faalago and Katoa highly. Both dangerous weapons we need to keep an eye on.

Hughes when on his game, like last week, is terribly dangerous. His kicking game and generalship is top class. I rate him over Munster to be honest.

Munster is not as consistent, but can come up with a genius play that is ad lib. Papenhayzen is a threat too, but I think he is a little predictable and you can prepare for it.a good defence can contain him.

The forward packs decide this though. I think we can roll them, but let's see.

Benji’s shock call as Tigers recruit set to be axed; Manly’s bench reshuffle — Late Mail

Benji’s shock call as Tigers recruit set to be axed; Manly’s bench reshuffle — Late Mail

Late Mail: According to Code Sports, Jack Bird is set to be dropped in a shock move from Benji Marshall. Bird joined the Tigers ahead of the 2025, with Tony Sukkar reportedly set to win the final bench spot ahead of him.

Interesting.
I thought Bird had been pretty good coming off the bench? And it leaves us with no Backs, back up.

Good points TM. The only thing I can think of is that his discipline has been a bit sketchy of late. Errors and penalties conceded. Either that or he's carrying a severe injury he's been playing through that they want to keep on the down low, and give him a week off.

I'd have bird in for Naden every single day of the week. Naden is going to be the reason we lose

Bird has knee issues too. I don’t think either of our centres will stand up to Meaney or Anderson. Hope I'm wrong.

He is 18th player, so not sure why.

Hopefully an epic game

Quickly go back and look at last week's game and you'll see him hobbling a few times.

 

[Nutz]

Solomona Faataape should play instead of Naden. If he's fit, and Naden is restricted, I'll be spewing.
