This should be our team list vs Manly im hoping.  Williams and Guymer both did a great job against the Dogs.  We cannot go with Kelma Tuilagi back in the starting 13.  We looked much better with Moretti starting and Williams out wider.  Both Williams and Guymer have a higher work rate than both Kelma and Kit kat and it showed against the Dogs

Saxon Pryke another great debutant, and another with a high work rate may have cemented a bench spot for the remainder of 2026.  In the centres Araz Nava made a fist of it and I would retain him in the centres with Penasini,  with Russell to come back onto the wing.

I would also keep Mataele in the 17, keeping out Kelma who imo drops out of the 19 completely.  Kelma on his day can be a devastating ball runner,  but he's too inconsistent and one or two good games means nothing in this competition 

Also Debelin starts. Walker much better off the bench.  Debelin adds size from the start.

 

1. Joash 

2. Fox

3. Nava

4. Penasini 

5. Russell 

6. Volkswagen 

7.mo

8. Jns

9. Smith 

10 Moretti 

11. Williams 

12. Guymer 

13 Debelin 

 

14. Walker 

15 Pryke 

16. Mataele 

17. Da Silva 

 

18. Teancum Brown 

19 Brian Kelly

  • This is the type of coaching we need to support. This is the team that put a number on the Bulldogs through shear determination, grit, and effort... they deserve the opportunity to do it again. 

    • Hoping to see back-to-back performances from Volkman, Penisini, Joash, and Pryke
    • Is Ryley Smith is okay with his Sternum injury to start, or did Talyn earn a start after last week?
    • Nanva could be a chance of earning that Left Center position inside JAC, and keeping Russell on the wing before he departs for the Bears.

    We have a good win percentage against the Eagles when Tommy Turbo's out, let's keep that going and notch up another win against an Eagles team showing some form.

  • Isn't Smith injured

    • Has a sternum injury but likely to be needled and padded.

  • You mean Saxon Pryke of the much maligned Rouse Hill Rhinos oh never mind lol.

"💯 
Seeing as this team can't match it with fitness against most teams or defend a repeat set, best if Ryles gets them to play a simple error free, high completion type footy. We don't have the X-factor players to change momment when it's lost."
