Match Discussion: Round 13 vs Manly @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

[slotmachine]

Why give time at fb to a bloke who obviously isn't going to be here next year, and now has both KP and miller in front of him

Hodgson playing FB in flegg

 

[PhilGould]

Updated reserve grade team has Armstrong still at fullback so Miller not dropping back. Lucas playing too so Mann is the 18th man at least.

 

[Yosh]

Gamble > Miller. Funny our best player being shifted around to accommodate Gamble or Miller.. Our club really is in shambles.

O'Brien has said plan was for Miller to go to NSW Cup but he went well in training as a 14.

 

[Old dog]

What do you do training as a 14, practice sitting on bench, heard it all, “went well at training”

My thoughts too. Perhaps he didnt fumble the ball when collecting it from the play-the-ball haha.

Mann usually goes well in training too...

I honestly believe this is our best 1-7 (on paper) in many, many years.

8-13, not so much.

AOB on nine - Phoenix and Hastings have been outstanding this season

Miller was going to play nsw cup to get some confidence back but set training alight at #14 next question how will you use him today? AOB - I’m not sure, We’ll see

I actually will not be surprised if Miller gets 0 minutes.

Which probably proves he was there as security for a Ponga HIA.

I'm willing to bet Miller wont be on in the first half (unless it's a forced change).

Please don't tell me he actually said that

We only used Gamble in the final 20 off the bench so I guess it’ll be the same plan for Miller.

 

[Haffa]

Strapped in for 80 minutes of WTFs.

 

[Jono078]

Ugh, there's the first Ponga headshot..

 

[perverse]

It seems like every team is just happy to rub him out of the game at this point. I'd love to see the stats on number of high shots received per game across the NRL.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

KP hurt already

 

[Haffa]

What a waste of a challenge

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

What a stupid challenge

Unfortunately that's just half of it. The other half Ponga seems to get his head into trouble with his defending that knee shot could have easily KO'd him.
