Our Pack vs Manly

Posted by Marty on July 13, 2020 at 8:12am

If Paulo is rested, Evans, Kaufusi, Stone are injured and let's say Stefano is hooked for covid breach, Waqa gets a week for great hit on the protected species, who we going to have fill the gaps?

8. RCG

9. Mahoney

10. Alvaro

11. Lane

12. Matterson

13. Cyborg

14. Niukore

15. Terepo

16. Gower

17. Davey

4. Takairangi / Salmon

7. Moses/ Field

I guess there are plenty of What if's & maybe's with Moses and Waqa,

What are your thoughts against Manly who are shite lately.

  Think you might be bang on, Andrew Davey hopefully gets a bench spot.

    Widders - there is also Makatoa who did well during 9's, got nrl experience, maybe he not in top 30 tho?
    
    Aug 3 is deadline to purchase... should we ? And if so, Who?

      Yeah well I don't really watch much bulldog games, there's 1 particular player who I think really tries his hardest IMO and that's that Raymond Faitala-Mariner, for the right $$$ I think he would be a handy addition under BA and with our forward pack surrounding him but saying that I think we have a nice balanced team atm.

      We could go for both Canterbury players that were suspended.

Nitram - I like Niukore on Bench as he 'brings the fire and leg drive , otherwise a dour bench.

Alvaro has a diesel motor so can go long minutes if required buuuut so god dam slow :(

  I like Niukore on the bench too. My line up above is if 5-6 "middles" are out.

  Who would you have come in for Waqar if he gets a ban poppa, taka, Rankins or hunster? I think taka personally

Paulo will be there and so will Moses.
Johnny B Good July 13, 2020 at 9:17pm

I assume Paulo will play. If not, I don't think Nuikore is the answer up front.

I'd have.

8. RCG

9. Mahoney

10. N Brown

11. Lane.

12. Matterson.

13. Nuikore

14. Salmon (assuming Taka plays centre and Moses is still injured)

15. Gower.

16. Alvaro.

17. Davey (he's our last available forward).

Lucky Manly's stocks are really low too. Their injuries are more key too. We should get the chocolates
