Who would you change? I thought McInness was our worst but surely you wouldn’t drop him. Robson wasn’t much better.

Lats did nothing as usual, Robson was not good, Lawrie wasn’t great and Field barely got a run.

Perhaps an extra prop on the bench for Field and another to replace Lats on the bench. Kerr and Timm?

I think Field is a waste on the bench because he’s only going to get token minutes.
Probably Luc for him.
Lawrie looks better used as a prop, I don’t want to see him in 13 again.
Robson stays.
L plate will stick with Lats.

I agree McInnes didn't play as well as he can.

Lats was Lats.

I think Robson was a bit nervous and will improve significantly with extended game time.

I thought all the forwards were ineffective apart from Korbin Sims and to a lesser extent Friz and Vaughan.

Tariq is also playing below par.

The forwards seem to lack the energy, intensity and stamina to compete against any pack, including the Bulldogs.

Who knows with Mary. It would be great to have mostly the same team apart from Kerr in for Lats and Periera in for Aitken. JP is a stronger runner of the ball out of danger and makes good metres. Lawrie should also be on the prop rotation, not at lock. But thats where the problem lies with JDB.
That has really stuffed us so far.

Whilst our win over the Dogs was a welcome return to the winners list, I'm not getting ahead of myself as if we have turned the corner. Let's face it the Dogs are little more than a reserve grade outfit atm with an occasional good game in them.

This game against Manly and the next 5 after that will tell us if we are on the up. None of these games are easy now, even Penrith are looking like they are moving upwards.

Optomistic but still pessimistic.

Sea Eagles v Dragons: Round 14 preview

Who could forget the controversial ending the last time these sides met at WIN Stadium in round six when the Dragons hit the front late and then the no-call on an 'escort' play had Manly seeing red.

The Sea Eagles will be out for revenge on Sunday at a packed Lottoland and they are starting to look ominous with Tom Trbojevic and Daly Cherry-Evans back on deck to lead the charge for a top-four spot.

The Dragons arrested an alarming five-game losing streak against the Bulldogs and welcomed back a star of their own with Corey Norman calling the shots in style.

With both sides coming off good wins, this promises to be one of the matches of the round.

The Rundown
Key match-up
Daly Cherry-Evans and Ben Hunt savoured Origin glory together and then returned to club footy last weekend to steer their sides to victory. The two marquee men will take centre stage at Brookie and their ability to kick long to corners and pin the opposition down will be critical, as will the short kicking game to try and get repeat sets. Having Corey Norman back seemed to give Hunt a new lease on life against the Bulldogs while DCE has Tom Turbo back to trail him up the middle and capitalise on any half chances. Two quality No.7s on show here in a mouth-watering match-up.

For the Sea Eagles to win
Big men Martin Taupau and Addin Fonua-Blake need to keep doing exactly what they've been doing - intimidating opponents with bruising defence and charging through the middle of the ruck with no thought of self-preservation. Taupau is averaging 157 metres per game and Fonua-Blake 164 metres and if they can get over the top of the Dragons pack then DCE will do the rest and lead Manly to another win.

For the Dragons to win
The Red V will need to be composed and clinical if they are to overcome a hostile crowd and a Manly outfit eager to make amends for that WIN Stadium defeat in April. Paul Vaughan and Tyson Frizell need to take them forward and lay a platform for the halves to control the tempo and try to take the crowd out of the game with early pressure and early points.

Brett Kimmorley says
The Trbojevic boys are back together, Cherry-Evans is there, and Des Hasler has Manly flying. But Corey Norman adds enormous attack for the Dragons. They'd lost five in a row then all of a sudden the return of Norman was a huge boom for them. I think they can cause an upset on the back of a Corey Norman masterclass in this one. Dragons by 8.

Stat Attack
Discipline, or lack of it, has been an issue for the Sea Eagles. Des Hasler's men have conceded 97 penalties in their 13 matches - only the Panthers (105) have conceded more. The Dragons are down on 10th spot on that table with 76 penalties conceded in 13 games.

And another thing ...
Ben Hunt cops a bit of stick for his defence and he will certainly be targeted by Manly's edge forwards but it's worth remembering he did come up with 53 tackles for the Maroons in Origin I playing in the unfamiliar hooker role. There's nowhere to hide in the middle of the ruck at Origin level and Hunt never shirked his task but he's happy to leave that sort of grunt work to Dragons No.9 Cameron McInnes at club level. McInnes made 46 tackles without a miss against the Dogs and averages a tick under 50 tackles a game in 2019.
