Match Discussion: Round 12 vs Manly @ McDonald Jones Stadium

[Mr. Shaman]

We’ve lost Schuster and only have wingers on the extended bench, and Suli already on the bench with no cover for halves/hooker.

This’ll be played up the guts/Manly right edge. DCE never swings to the left.

He might want to give it a go today. Our right hand side screams “come on in, and bring your ball”.

Yeah, but Lachlan bloody Croker will have to slide into the halves, and he’s a peasant.

I promise you, your assessment of his value will only decrease if he can’t penetrate our defence.

 

[Yosh]

Hoy is trash but who else are you gonna put there?

I bet To'a or Watson would do a ton better.

 

[Knight Tales]

Schuster out is big bonus for us but breaking the circuit between DCE and Turbo would be beyond this team.

 

[Yosh]

Josh Schuster ruled out. Big out. Bonus for us.

Yes!!!

We will only lose 30+ kow instead of 50+!!!

 

[PhilGould]

Mann is out. Watson 6 with King onto the bench

a lot of running from the halves then. The kicking game will be interesting…..

 

[slotmachine]

a lot of running from the halves

Watson passes better than Mann.

 

[Old dog]

Not sure how that goes, must have been late as you would think Sasagi would be better on bench than King for variety

 

[PhilGould]

Not sure what happened in the first half of reggies but they're down to 1 player on the bench and no Bailey Hodgson to be seen

Wtf... Well, I don't know why I would be surprised being a Knights fan..

Also looking at the live NRL ladder right now... We are 3rd last, only 2 points ahead of the Broncos.. truly where we deserve to be,

[Jono078]

Wow. Credit to AOB for making the call there.

Lot of pressure (actually I don't want to say that) on Phoenix's shoulders with the kicking game today - but it'll be good for him and Brailey to maybe take more control there.

 

[slotmachine]

Lol that side is junk. At least I'm won't be angry when manly crack 50.

Mann is injured not dropped. AOB wouldn't do that to his boy

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Turbo playing 6, Garrick 1 and Funa wing. You got dis.

 

[Burns]

That team is well, something

 

[Jono078]

Ben Turbo making his debut. So you know the brothers will be up for him.

 

[PhilGould]

Hodgson okay apparently, the plan was always for him to only play the first 40 to ease him back in
