[Speedy Gonzales]

13+ Manly

Fired up Turbo to come back and rip us to shreds

 

[Ned Kelly]

They had a much tougher game than we did. They will have a team battered and bruised from last week. They will have players missing.
Manly by 18

 

[Tiger05]

Nofo and Luc out. This could suck.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Good to see Stefano back.

Will need 40 plus tackles from Seyfarth and Twal.
Simpkin to add the spark and hopefully Peachey when he comes on.

 

[Das Hassler]

Liddle 18th man....I'd rather see him in in place of Gildart.

 

[Tigerm]

Liddle 18th man....I'd rather see him in in place of Gildart.

Agree, he is quick and has great defence, though probably never played centre before?

 

[Tigerm]

Looks like a good forward rotation?

I think with Turbo back, it’s hard to tip us, as he just dazzles us, every time.

 

[Das Hassler]

Agree, he is quick and has great defence, though probably never played centre before?

Defence and speed would be enough to be better than Gildart ...Gildart will probably come good but he's a liability right now

 

[Tiger Ted]

If we can miraculously not concede any tries down our left edge we are a reasonable chance of causing an upset.However I’m expecting turbo to have a field day especially at the expense of the timid Pom.

 

[Tiger Ted]

Wouldn’t surprise me if Peachey starts at centre for Gildart & either madden or liddle is promoted to bench.Gildart can’t possibly be in the 17.

 

[macnaz]

Im back to the " couldnt give a shit again" mentality. We had had chance to beat another bottom side with injuries and a very short turn around after a hard game and as expected we totally blew it.
Every reason we lost that game was due to what happened on the field regardless of injuries.
Dumb mistakes , failure to take points when available , and a failure to persist with playing through the middle when we were totally dominating there ! We made it even worse if had to be so stupid to change our plan by using the ball down our shitiest side we had in attack.
It was just an unavoidable loss for so many reasons ... how ever so totally predictable.

 

[macnaz]

Turbo by how many he wants

 

[Das Hassler]

I 'd be happy to at least have Kepoau and Gildart swap positions

 

[Tiger05]

It was just an unavoidable loss for so many reasons ... how ever so totally predictable.

We were specials to lose that game. I can't see us winning this one. It's time for more losses.

I think we are building well for next season but we need luck with injuries and we haven't had that. We also need some good signings for next year plus luck with injuries.

 

[MasterTiger]

If we win this it will be a bigger upset then the win against Parra

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

I'm happy that Simpkin and Stefano are back. I'm less enthused about Peachey getting a run. He'll be good for at least 3 penalties and a sin binning

 

[Phil Gould]

I 'd be happy to at least have Kepoau and Gildart swap positions

I hope he comes good, did he play on the wing in SL?

 

[Das Hassler]

I hope he comes good, did he play on the wing in SL?

Don't think so but at least on the wing his rushing up in defense might help instead of opening up the sydney heads at centre

 

[Pezz70]

13+ Manly

Fired up Turbo to come back and rip us to shreds

Schuster is the man that will bust us to pieces, Tom might score a few tries but they’ll be running off Schuster

i think this might be the week to debut Pauga. The Garner at centre thing doesn’t offer anything in attack, injuries dictate that we’re gonna get done, give the young bloke a taste.
