Team V's Manly

[damo72]

For those of you who don't think that Langi should be there he was one of our best in defence the other night 25 tackles and missed only one, between Burt and Petersen they made 14 and missed 7. Langi is what we need in the centres, someone who can defend and attack given the opportunity which unfortunately he has not received yet.

 

[Misty Bee]

Thorman wasn't to blame for the losses v Cowpats, Storm and Saints!

 

[Jake the snake]

Sorry guys but Thormann can't tackle, he just can't.

 

[Y2Eel]

pazza have you come up with anything constructive??

ie,
Why would you replace a champ like Afamasaga with a loser like Muckert?

also thorman was always up there in defence with the forwards....

his attack was flat cos well the whole team was.....

MPE - I'll agree with that side, but do you know if Guru Jnr is available?

i have heard reports that guru will be back but if he is not then slide Langi into the centres and Burt onto the wing

Not bad but Langi played well enough to keep his spot.

 

[PJ Marshal]

As good as of a game Lagni played on saturday which i'llagree was prob his best game for us, i still have doubts in my mind about his defence of all things. Too often does he not show faith in his inside man and come in and leave his winger stranded. If he could fix this up well id have no prblems with his presence in the team!

 

[bartman]

This game's very important. Not a place for trialling young prospects like the Smiths imo. I think the named side will be:

1. Wade MacKinnon
2. Luke Burt
3. Junior Langi
4. Ashley Graham
5. Matt Petersen
6. Chris Thorman - given another chance
7. Adam Dykes
13. Daniel Wagon
12. Jack Afa..
11. Craig Stapleton/Dean Widders - takes two to replace Hindy!
10. Michael Vella
9. John Morris
8. Justin Tsolous

14. Lee Hopkins
15. Chris Armit
16. Dean Widders/Craig Stapleton
17. Eric Grothe/Wise Kativerata - to cover for a backline disaster...

And Hindy would still have more tackles and hit ups.

Can someone tell me why dykes is playing 1/2? I always thought he was a better 5/8,I know Witt will be out but he has played a few games there this season.

I think your lobby is pretty safe. The only possiblity away from that side would be Muckert in for Webster. I like Tsoulos coming off the bench. He improved dramatically when off the bench on comparison to his previous starting line up performances.

But who knows with Smithy :?:

 

[eeelectroshooting?]

Thorman can't defend to save his life, if he has done nothing wrong then why did he get dropped?

are you kidding pazza? #-o what have you been watching? thormans defence is great.

The teams worst performances was with Thorman at Halfback. There is no way i would be letting that pretender back into the side.

coincidently....yes they wre the worst performances. and you think thormans to blame for that? omg. :lol:

Halfback along with Prop is the most important position on the field. Thorman wasnt able to create anything from halfback. Thats why Parra only managed to score 6 points against the dragons side full of PL players and 6 points against the west tigers. Halfback has total control of the sides attacking plays. With Thorman at halfback the side was averaging 9 points a game. I saw something wrong with that, Smith saw something wrong with that, why dont you?
