Rd2. Wests Tigers-Sea Eagles 5.30pm "spoilers"

[innsaneink]

Case of whos out more than anything this game.

Wests Tigers off a close 2 point loss to melb in melb are without Whatuira with calf strain, replaced by Fitzhenry with Shannan McDonnel on bench

Manly, off an emphatic 6 try hammering at a dingy Brookie over the raiders last Sat are without the Beaver, Ox and matteye

Beaver replaced by Hoppa wannabe Whatmo, Matteye and orford replaced by I dont know, Wests Tigers by 16...yes, 16 points! :crazy:

[super_coach]

Manly by heaps--Sheens new look back line will have more defensive holes than a block of swiss cheese

 

[Mr Saab]

Only concern is Fitzhenry in the centres marking Bell.
Tigers 1-12

 

[mattyg]

Tigers by 13+. 34-14 i reckon

 

[innsaneink]

Yeh, Morrison showed up Fitzy last year when he played center.....He'll have fulton covering for him this time though.

 

[willvillain]

Manly were on the backfoot when Beaver and Matai were out. I thought it was bloody even, perhaps with Manly in front a little bit, when Fatz was ruled out. But with Orford out as well.... Tigers shouldn't lose this one.

Orford's short kicking game was going to be crucial. Burns is a tough nut, but has virtually no kicking game, let alone a short kicking game. Lyon is a gun, but he only kicked once or twice last week - the one that sticks in my mind is the one that he booted out on the full. Monas was never known for his short kicking game even when he WAS a halfback.

So it's fair to say that I'm a little worried about where our tries are going to come from seeing as all but one came from kicks last week...

Still, it's not like the Tigers don't have weaknesses. Should be a good game.

Manly by 8.

You have to admit....it's a pretty bloody big concern though. I was feeling very confident about winning this one until old turnstyles was put in the centres. Steve Bell will be licking his chops!!

 

[simon says]

Collis try out wide after superb work by Bunji Marshall..

Tigers up 4 nil after 3 minutes with a kick to come.

 

[Disco]

Manly likely lineup

1.B Stewart
2.Robbo
3.Bell
4.Lyon
5.Hicks
6.Burns
7.Monaghan
8.King
9.Ballin
10.Kite (C)
11.Watmough
12.G Stewart
13.Williamson

14.Halden
15.Rose
16.Bryant
17.Hall

I think Manly will grind them down in the forwards, Bell to score 2, Kite or Watmough to be MOM

 

[Inferno]

I tipped Manly in the work tipping comp but the tigers in my 2 online ones.

Having a bet each way

I reckon the Tigers will win by 8.

 

[t-ba]

Manly likely lineup

1.B Stewart
2.Robbo
3.Bell
4.Lyon
5.Hicks
6.Burns
7.Monaghan
8.King
9.Ballin
10.Kite (C)
11.Watmough
12.G Stewart
13.Williamson

14.Halden
15.Rose
16.Bryant
17.Hall

If those three do an adequate job, I have faith in the forward pack to beat the Wiggers and the Backline to tear the sh*t out of them.

For that to happen, two uncapped players have two do a solid job of distributing the ball from Dummy half and Mick Monaghan has to stop running around in 'concentric circles' while at halfback

Watch out for Matt Ballin. Real goer, been dominating in Premier League for a while now.

[DeeGan]

Looking forward to this game, I have taken Tigers 1-12.

One of the best sights in rugby league IMO is a full house at Leidchardt Oval.

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

After tippin the Dogs to lap the Panthers and the Dragons to comfortably account for the Knights.....

I'll tip Manly by 30.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Sheens should really play Fitz on the wing, and Tuiaki on the bench go with this line up

1 Hodgson
2 Fitzhenry
3 Collis
4 Danny Galea
5 Moodie
6 Marshall
7 Morris

8 Gibbs
9 Farah
10 Payten
11 Ben Galea
12 Heighinton
13 Halatau

14 Harrison
15 Tuiaki
16 Galloway
17 Fulton

Indeed. But that's why Sheens is the Coach and I'm the hopeful Manly Fan...
