OFFICIAL TEAM LIST - vs. Hartley’s Boys

[Frailty]

Unfortunately Scott Bailey is reporting that. Miller is a great replacement, but I was enjoying watching Dykes. Says a lot about the team when you're fullback backup to the backup is Miller, and Ikuvalu can come onto the wing.

Some very solid recruitment last offseason.

 

[R-15-3]

Jurbo is incredibly overrated and, hot-take, I think him being an out is up for Manly.
Whilst I agree with the fullback not really being used to direct defence, Koula out the back scares me a bit. If the Sharks don't get their kick chase right he has the speed and agility to really make them pay.

Can never underestimate Manly. The amount of times we were meant to be beat them at Brookvale and never do is ridiculous. I'm confident Fitzy will get the team in the right headspace, but I'll never be comfortable until the fulltime whistle goes and the Sharks are ahead on the scoreboard.

Agree he is over rated but it’s his work load that needs to be spread between the rest that will be the problem.

Fugg, really ?

Was keen to see him go around again. Was hoping that rumour earlier this week wasn't true

Yep really. Wonder if it was caused by that last minute dive at his ankles.

You’d have to think so. He was noticeably distressed after it.

 

[Mr Angry]

78 points.

 

[Special K]

It sucks but the balance of the team is better with a fullback at fullback and a winger on the wing. Great depth.

Rumour has it Gus is still bashing the door down to get Miller over to the dogs next year/beyond. I can't see us releasing him but might be a Metcalf situation.

 

[Ozzi_78]

f**k Gus and Ciraldo.

 

[Stake Removed]

NRL Physio guy reporting calf strain

Both Connor and Moyza are on track to play but could be late withdrawals due to their recent injuries, with their replacements being Trindall and Iro.
Seriously how bloody good is our depth. Ikuvalu should be an NRL winger every week. But is 3rd man up at the Sharkies. Iro, destroying teams week in week out in Reggie's and can't get a look in. Kennedy goes down injured, so we unearth a kid who is a future star, he goes down injured. No worries, just throw in Miller, an Australian Rugby 9's Olympian.

Fluffy erectile spoof function engaged!

 

[Eion]

It sucks as great opportunity to give Dykes game time, but at this stage I’d say we are a better side with Miller at fullback and Ika on wing

The old man injury.

I have had both calves operated on (unsuccessfully) and can strain a calf waddling to the fridge. Now my 16 year old is showing signs of f**ked calves. Genetics are a bitch, kid.

Frailty , strongly disagree about Jake T being overrated. We will knock down the front door when we play them on Saturday. You will see how much he is the glue up the middle for any team he plays for. The bloke never gives up ever. More than I can say about some of his teammates.

 

[Mr Angry]

Jake is an axe, I respect them lads, f**king unicorn's, Manly juniors.

Some of his defensive efforts last week against the Titans looked like he gave up. Hell, it's only got him listed as one missed tackle because he put in such little effort he barely moved an arm to attempt to get to a player.

I will give him credit - he gets away with holding down and flopping into tackles amongst the best of them. He is averaging 58 running metres when he is playing 80 minutes most weeks. Hell even Josh Jackson is averging more tackles and running metres than Jurbo.

It's amazing how far being a good bloke can get you in this game. Another spud the media love who is bang average, the carry on about him in origin 2 was pathetic as if he single handedly won the game. If the commentators and media say it enough it becomes gospel though.

 

[Mr Angry]

Jesus love the shire more haters.

We got this..

 

[roboshark]

Teig out as well. Geezus another one bites the dust. Trindall in

 

[Cheese sandwich]

The fk is going on? Dropping like flies

 

[Ozzi_78]

It’s happening.

 

[chewsta]

What happened to Teig?
