Maybe not best suited to the bench but Eisenhuth was fine in both Manly games last year.

I'd like Laurie out of the team for this one. He isn't getting any game time anyway. Manly have a big bench so go with Soni Luke who will actually play some minutes and might hurt them when they tire.
Surely Laurie is only there to cover injury and we have been lucky so far this year.

You don’t decide to not insure your house this year because you didn’t have a fire in the previous 12 months.

Smarter people than me in charge ;)

But since Matt Seers played Origin from the bench I've been off the idea. I like a forward or 9 on the bench.

If you want a utility Cole would provide better value off the bench.
Provided he can stay fit.

I am not convinced Laurie will be a FG half.He made some dumb mistakes at six in reserve grade a few weeks ago. And that doesn't take in to account his defence issues.

We have been better with Laurie wasting a spot and not getting on the field than with Soni coming on for 20...... that says an awful f**king lot imo

I tend to agree somewhat. I see Laurie as basically an injury replacement for the backs or halves.

The fact that he's also doing a full nsw cup game to me is fine.

What Ivan is doing is getting miles in the legs of players (when under fatigue) for the business end of the season.

Yet another innovation from Ivan.

I totally agree.

How’s the weather? Rain isn’t coming and it’s now a dry track? The Souths NZ game looks like pearler of weather

I put some oat meal stouts in the fridge last night expecting a cold miserable day and woke up this morning to it being clear blue sky and really warm.

Cant stress how important a win here going into the bye is.

Boys need to get it done tonight. Manly will be up for it.

I hope the lads hold the ball, respect the field position and grind Manly into the ground.

Unusual pop up offload from Edwards that put them under pressure. Lucky Manly made a mistake.

Great try from Panthers to open their account.

lets go!
