Round 24 v Manly

[BossleyPanther]

Sommerton looks more complete but who knows after an off season

I'm eager to see what he can do in this level. He is complete and more chance of him being the future than Luke.

He is 6 years younger. So on age alone he is more a future player

Manly paying $7.50, I'm tempted but gee that team is ordinary. Wife is a manly supporter wants me to pay for the daughters party by betting on them. It will be close if Dylan, To'o are out.

To'o was in the captain's run photos.

Be nice if Sommerton is so impressive he leaps ahead of Luke for the bench spot in 2024.

I'd say it's unlikely he could for this season. But maybe Sommerton even helps our attack a bit?

No way our defence improves over having Kenny. But its a minor chance Sommerton can come on and offer a bit more speed around the ruck and get a bit more time for playmakers.

6 guys out. 3 in doubt. Manly are exceptional value IMO. We have the better 17 still. But injuries could happen through the game and change that quickly.

Sommerton is inbetween the 2. Holds his own in defence decent speed. Yet to do a pre-season so has a higher ceiling then both.

Henry on standby for Huth
Jenkins for Edwards.

If others were in doubt. We'd have pulled them due to cutting the squad to 19.

I'd be resting Edwards if he has any doubts. Not worth the risk of aggravating anything.

Sorry I didn’t realise italics or correct spelling were prerequisite for posting.

LMAO, Iamback in particular would be f*cked if this were true.

I don't think I can take $7.50 if To'o, Edwards in.

Can you imagine Manly without DCE, they would fight for wooden spoon

 

[Hamstring awareness]

LOL imagine the Luke Bowden meltdown if Soni Luke is usurped by a debutant after his “better hooker than Koroisau” prediction.

Our third best hooker being better than the first choice NSW hooker and bloke who helped us reach 3 grand finals.

What a time to be alive

To be fair I think he meant at the end of 2024 we'd want Luke over Api at that moment in time. Maybe he sees the tigers ruining api and Luke developing here.

Yeah their left side defence is terrible. Schuster took 60 mins to have a run. They are a very ordinary team made to look good by DCE and pre injury Tom Turbo

Hard with Tago and Peachey out. It is why resting needs to be staggered.

Jenkins was in the captain's run shot. That too me is a sign of no Edwards

I’m not the one having a melt down about anyone.
Im more than happy for Sommo to go on and become the next Harry Grant.

I also won’t be carrying on if Soni comes out and has a ripper game.

Because I’m just saying what I hear around the traps and what I see in front of me.

Don’t try and bring truth into this mate.

Just how I read it at the time. I didn't think it was unreasonable under the circumstances. If anyone can ruin the best 9 in the game tigers can and I have faith in ivan to bring out a players potential.

The flip side though.

Api can do more there due to lack of talent, whereas here we only need early ball to our halves.

So it is something that is no chance of being measureable

Api played so within himself here. Just brilliant, can play so many different ways.

It’s easily measurable.

who do want in our team. Api or Soni.

Thats as simple as it gets.
