Who replaces Simonsson and Tuilagi v Manly?

It will be tough to decide who will take over for Simonsson next week considering Dunster has not even made the 22 most weeks. Tuilagi seems to have hurt himself also, with Doorey failing his HIA in Cup it is testing our depth again. But Sivo will be in sheds all clean happy with his paycheck the idiot.

But i do think BA would name Talagi on the Wing next week, they love him and i think BA will want some youth. It is either Dunster or Talagi, if i was picking it i would go Talagi too. While Tuilagi is a bit easier with Greig coming back, but also could consider Moretti on the bench over Hands.

What does everyone else think? Dunster is a Winger that does not really have a lot speed, defensively he is ok but he has been there and done that. Talagi seems to have something about him, he has handled NSW cup fine, has a mistake or two in him that is the issue. Plus he has not played Wing, is this the time to put him there on debut v Manly who love using their edges.

  • What happen to blaize? Will he be alright next week

    • Kelma Tuilagi i mean, if that is what you are confused about. If not, Blaize is fine and could be in FG next week.

      • O yes sorry my bad mate. I hope kelma is alright but god his defence is horrible, I know he was out of position but he missed a lot of one on one tackles, fair enough he got ran around at times that was always going to happen 

        • No no all good. Their names are so similar it can get confusing between Talagi and Tuilagi.

  • The fact that we stuck with harper and tuilagi on the left edge for so long actually screwed us up..

    I thought at half time brad arthur would have changed it up with a 2 point lead to us. Put Carty at left centre and keep harper at left wing..

    But the stubborn idiot that is BA has reappeared in 2024..

     

    • Yep not good enough from athur mate. Needs to carry an outside back on the bench 

    • BA would have been better of with Cartwright defending at 6 and Brown in the centres in defence. 

      Then they play their usual positions in attack 

      • Any change would have been more effective for us on the left than having the manly rejects together on the left edge.

        The footy gods felt bad for us and intervened by getting tuilagi injured..

         

    • Yep, Cooper Cronk is also saying that in his comment on Foxtel. He said BA has to make a decision of taking away Tuilagi from that Centre position which obviously was exploited by the Panthers. Hope his assistant coaches could make their ideas known to him and that BA should stop being hard headed.

      • Problem is BA a grafter. Not a thinker. Not much brains going about the coaching staff. You're getting fucked hard on you left edge and you do fuck all about it all game long. Cleary and his assistants much have been rolling on the floor laughing after the game. Same shit in the GF. We played the same stupid game plan all game kicking to To'o who'd bust a couple tackles sending us again on the back foot all game long.
