Round 26 V Manly

[herbert henry1908]

That's fair and I agree. He did say Edwards could be back early and we have Moylan back next week and May who can genuinely play fullback. Could be hoping to get through this one game with as little issue as possible.

The centre/wing pairing is huge in defence.

If Edwards isn't back I'd have to go with Moylan at FB for the finals.

That could rock the boat even more with the current situation

 

[Buzzard Breath]

No Moylan and RCG starting.

Trent Merrin returns to the starting side at lock with James Fisher-Harris back to the bench as part of an otherwise unchanged 17.

If the team can win today it'll show some real metal after the last 24 hours.

 

[tripster]

I don't understand why RCG is starting? He's shown that he is so much better coming off the bench after 20 minutes into the game? Why change things back to what didn't work before - particularly when we need to contain Tapau?

 

[Pugzley]

Baka!!!!

 

[Pugzley]

f**kin' soft as...!!

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Glad we didn't break up that center-wing combination.

 

[OldPanther]

We look soft. No attacking structure at all.

 

[kinghippo]

Quick get Browne on to turn the tide

 

[umina panther]

40-0 please

 

[OldPanther]

We are gone.

 

[mxlegend99]

Hook should be sacked just for picking Whare at fullback.

All the evidence you need this merkin doesnt know shit about fullback.

 

[herbert henry1908]

22 points needed to finish our season.

Yeah I said the other day that was a decision made by a guy who almost wants to give up 38 points.

 

[mxlegend99]

We are gone.

Only Hook could f**k our season up from here.

Whare at fullback... literally the worst possible option. Obviously Hook has never watched our games before he arrived. The Whare at 1 experiment was a failure in 2013. L

 

[umina panther]

Miss the 8 please. I want the excuses from "Real fans"

I thought it had to be mindgames.

No coach was stupid enough to play him there after 2013.

Well. Hook proved me wrong.

 

[GongPanther]

He telepathically played the ball.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

22 points needed to finish our season.

The good thing is Manly don't need to beat us by 38, so we should be fine. We'll pick up a consolation or two.

 

[betcats]

Cleary just bombs all game, change it up.
