Rd.5 v SeaEagles

[Chins get the wins]

We need someone better than Huth and then Huth needs to go.

Lock during Origin only is what I've said before. Others have talked up Smiths ballplaying though so maybe he can take over in those games

Lots of rain makes this a game we could lose.

Not against Manly. They are like Souths and use ball movement. I can't remember them winning an arm wrestle.

So it is a good week to get shit weather

Nothing seems to matter with the rain. Rain = doom. Ever tried to bath a cat?

Ever seen a bird fly with wet feathers?

Huths been good. One poor offload and a penalty and the 'give the young guy a go' brigade come out swinging.

The week before he was tremendous and his offloads gave us another dimension in attack. Seems obvious to me he's been instructed to try and pop a ball when he can, and for the most part it's been quality. Like prime SBW.

True but they have Jake turbo who's a slug.

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.

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

It isn't anti Huth. 3 middles on the bench is overkill. If Fish is fit he is not needed.
Give a Mav another run. Especially if it keeps Smith from spending time on an edge.

 

[Bred not Bought]

Playing Laurie for junk minutes or not at all, is dumb.
Especially when he is then added last minute to the reserve grade side, to keep his match fitness up.
Poor Iongi played off the bench last week because of it.

 

[Fangs]

On another note.

Manly's marketing team are shameless. Ever since I bought a ticket to Brookvale last year they've been texting me about membership prices and ticket sales. I've unsubscribed twice and I'm still getting bullshit from them.

I'm not going back to that shithole in the pouring rain.

 

[Alintheeast]

With all this rain coming God must still have the s..ts about the Manu no try.

We should at least look at what the Storm have done in the past with a back\half off the bench.
They had great success with the injection of Hynes/Paps off the bench a few years back.

You're mistaken. They are tears of joy

Oh... like, spiders are ok, they just wanna keep to themselves, you know....
and Hannibal probably had a rough childhood...
....jesus Jakey!! ..he eats people!!!!!

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.

Love those Crumb YouTube videos. Hopefully, they’ll start posting new videos for this season soon. 5 rounds in and they would already have a stack of material to work with!!
