Like Radley as a player but he spends his time only one brain snap out of the sin bin or long term suspension. It could be a genius POD move or just as likely a train wreck.
something still ‘off’ with Turbo. not performing well. yes he scored a try, but still…. Garrick pushed to wing and doesnt get the ball enough. Isaako the same….everything thru the middle or intercepts !- written with 20 to go
thumbs up DCE – and by the way, can Manly get rid of Waddell??? … please!! and Brooks is just getting nothing … Cheery playing like Nathan does and even runs plays to Brooks side of the field and ignores him … Brooks not being allowed to do anything creative himself it seems …
DCE was in classic headless chook mode tonight. Turbo not quite the player he once was (now injured). Waddell isn’t the most talented player, but seems to have a go. Koula at FLB next week might actually be a good thing. Ola back too! Broncos by 12+ 😉
“Reuben Garrick has previously filled in admirably when Trbojevic is unavailable, but the Sea Eagles are poised to hand the fullback jersey to speedster Tolutau Koula for the Magic Round clash with Brisbane next Friday.
Koula has played much of his junior football at No.1 and the Sea Eagles believe he can be an X-factor at the back.”
Yep I’m afraid you might be right – and it’s probably classed as a Sea Eagles’ home game too. They always do that – then they realize that the away fixture is at …..Suncorp! Dumb bastards – why give up the opportunity to have a maximum of games at Brookie??? (Yeah I know it’s all about money!) .

The last 2 weeks as a Manly fan have been a little depressing, haven’t they, AJW. Time to ditch Siebold and bring in Wayne Bennett next year (one can dream).
I think Turbo has been managed. He plays till they get in front and then takes a back seat avoid risking injury. He was averaging close to 80.
Also many of Brooks point came from working with Turbo and Burbo. Will see if Brooks goes any better but I doubt it. He is still stuk in my team because of other fires have been more urgent. I was going to turn him into Brown next week but now it looks like it will be Nathan to Brown instead.

Bennett hooked PLath tonight after that intercept too … we crimped his scoring and then the HIA at the end capped off a bad night for him and those of us that own him
it’s either SJ or May.. I can’t see RTS carving up the roosters defence even tho he is solid. Iro is equally solid putting up decent scores atm.

Last reserve out of Api, Galvin or Armstrong?

Would you play Koro or lussick? If koro plays, will share minutes with simpkin. Also Da silva a reserve so koro might not play. I assume the call will be made after captains run today. Hopefully we know before Eels game tonight.

Have been tossing up between Armstrong ( lower cost bigger profit ) and Faalogo (more likely scores less profit risky base). Armstrong gives $200K for bank but I suspect Faalogo could churn out some better numbers. Both look like struggling in the rain and Risk of Faalogo injury.
Need a trade down to finance Pappy to Drinks or would happily wait for Faalogo next week.
Fermor to radley ok? Trying to get a 2rf gun who plays rd 13.
I am assuming you either already have Angus or think he will play SOO this year.
I wouldn’t call Radley a gun. I would prefer someone that can get some attacking stats like Nikora, Wilton, D Lucas or Kikau.
Like Radley as a player but he spends his time only one brain snap out of the sin bin or long term suspension. It could be a genius POD move or just as likely a train wreck.
should i buy holmes or isaako
Isaako for Origin coverage.
who should i VC and C options are cleary, hynes, isaako, CNK, or walsh
I like Cleary as C, which means you would VC Isaako tonight. Go with your gut.
Last reserve
Armstrong / j Brailey / piakura / brooks / talagi
Those with May as 2nd FRF, is he a play over Willison or Hughes?
Whatcha all doing????
Taking the punt with May myself (surely Leniu is a bit underdone).
something still ‘off’ with Turbo. not performing well. yes he scored a try, but still…. Garrick pushed to wing and doesnt get the ball enough. Isaako the same….everything thru the middle or intercepts !- written with 20 to go
he’s now done either an ankle or more like a hammy again I reckon
and now fox commentators saying hammy …. faaaarrrrkk no FB’s left!
He probably had to be traded out soon anyway, as I couldn’t see him backing up during origin.
thumbs up DCE – and by the way, can Manly get rid of Waddell??? … please!! and Brooks is just getting nothing … Cheery playing like Nathan does and even runs plays to Brooks side of the field and ignores him … Brooks not being allowed to do anything creative himself it seems …
With Tubo out he should get a bit more reign
can only hope!
DCE was in classic headless chook mode tonight. Turbo not quite the player he once was (now injured). Waddell isn’t the most talented player, but seems to have a go. Koula at FLB next week might actually be a good thing. Ola back too! Broncos by 12+ 😉
Surely they move Garrick to FB?
From the SMH:
“Reuben Garrick has previously filled in admirably when Trbojevic is unavailable, but the Sea Eagles are poised to hand the fullback jersey to speedster Tolutau Koula for the Magic Round clash with Brisbane next Friday.
Koula has played much of his junior football at No.1 and the Sea Eagles believe he can be an X-factor at the back.”
nice DCE!
Might be a decent buy at $465K.
Or am I wishful thinking?
From memory, Koula trained there as the backup in the offseason. Agree that Garrick at FLB would be good for SC!

I meant next week’s game! Sorry, I realise that message was a bit unclear! 🙂
The last 2 weeks as a Manly fan have been a little depressing, haven’t they, AJW. Time to ditch Siebold and bring in Wayne Bennett next year (one can dream).
Thumbs up.

Last Reserve
Johnson, RTS, Iro, May ( pennies)
TIA
SJ for me.
i was thinking either SJ or May (pennies)
Cheers DCE
That’s a tough one – I reckon out of all of those, May is most likely to jag a try … the others have tough match ups …
May up against Crichton though. I think Panthers-Bulldogs will be a close one in the wet.
it’s either SJ or May.. I can’t see RTS carving up the roosters defence even tho he is solid. Iro is equally solid putting up decent scores atm.

just saw brendan hands has come onto the eels bench to replace carty.
Knights average most points vs hooker (thanks to the Saifitis never tying in behind the ruck).
What’s a better combo?
A. Dbags/Dearden + Manu/Brimmo
B. Dom Young + Brimson/CNK
Dbags & Brimson for me

Numbers in bracket is the rounds not playing
Thank you DNA
For Cowboys B1 should be B2 in brackets. R16 They play 13 and 14 after that miss bye 2 and bye 3.

Is Armstrong a must?
not a must necessarily, but a decent cash grab – he should hold his place and play – hopefully scores some attacking points and keeps earning cash …
Last reserve between armstrong or tyrell may??
Good to see this site back! Thanks to those who have made it happen
