  Not a bad team, hopefully manly don't put a cricket score on us. It would be nice if we put an end to their finals footy.

  Decent team. I think the boys will turn up this week and I think we are capable of upsetting the Silvertails at home. Thank God the Crab's not playing though....

  P.S. Can you believe we are $8.50 to beat Manly? That is what you call ridiculous odds...

    So why did brad arthur resign him if we have 15 injuries and he still doesn't make the team - it's ridiculous

  The loss of Peats is significant. IDG will do ok, and if it had been possible, Nelson would have been a good inclusion on the bench. Our injury toll has reached ridiculous proportions. Don't expect Manly to take us on in the forwards. They'll aim to do the damage out wide.

    Sixties do you think that nelson will be included in top 25 next year?

    Peats is a MASSIVE loss.
    
    Our saving grace in the Manly side is if Taufua gets suspended for a game for his shoulder charge in the Raiders game.
    
    He's been named, but he will front the judiciary on Wednesday night .... be interesting if the judiciary maintains it's stance on "being tough" on the shoulder charge.
    
    Manly WILL aim up out wide, especially Judas Lyon , Matai and Hiku.
    
    In the middle, we have more firepower and size and could easily out muscle and win a wrestle, which is where, I believe the game plan from BA will be.
    
    This is Manly's pack - 
    
    

    8. Jake Trbojevic 

    9. Matt Ballin 

    10. Josh Starling  
    

    11. Feleti Mateo 
    

    12. Justin Horo

    13. Blake Leary 
    

    Interchange

    14. Jesse Sene-Lefao 
    

    15. Michael Chee-Kam 

    16. James Hasson 
    

    17. Ligi Sao  
    
    now match that up against our pack - 
    
    8.  Junior Paulo
    9.  Isaac De Gois
    10.  Tim Mannah (c)
    11.  Manu Ma’u
    12.  Tepai Moeroa
    13.  David Gower
    
    Interchange:
    14.  Pauli Pauli
    15.  Darcy Lussick
    16.  Peni Terepo
    17.  Daniel Alvaro
    
    

    THE ONLY forward in that lot who doesn't intimidate is polar bear Alvaro.
    
    Our pack CAN dominate Manly and should.
    
    IF our pack can get on top, we could have quite the upset win and finish Manly's season in one go.

    It's their backine you need to worry about any trobovic is a great replacement for taufua

  Gower Power August 18, 2015 at 5:03pm

  I'm glad to see Alvaro on the bench. He should make a good effort.

  Blue and Gold August 18, 2015 at 5:03pm

  Not a bad lineup considering. Nelson should have gotten another go.
  • 

    Stevo > Blue and Gold August 18, 2015 at 5:33pm

    Yeh why didn't Nelson get a go?? He couldn't have done much more on his debut, BA mustn't be allowed to use him
