Round 22: St George Illawarra vs Manly

[Chris M]

Young Sullivan seen with his manager touring the Tigers training centre today

Probably will never become the player we hoped he would become. I think he's first and foremost a running 5/8 rather than a halfback.

Musgrave in for Bird tomorrow night.

Is Bird injured or on the outer?

Story said his knee.

Let me tell you a little secret Bird is going nowhere, his personal relationship with Flanagan goes back to the premiership winning team at the Sharks in 2016 . Bird has been carrying and playing with injuries all season. The coach has already told Bird to speak to our newly appointed high performance coach Andrew Gray and that happened this week hence Bird is probably not going to be playing again this season. In fact Bird has been told if fit he will be at the very least a valuable utility player and definitely in the 17. I feel that he will be in the run on 13 next season as a 2nd rower/lock.

If he's going to start in the forwards his defence has to improve out of sight. Then his attack is a problem too. Does make many metres, breaks the line very rarely, very few offloads.

 

[RedV01]

Really hoping for a win here to definitely avoid the spoon.

 

[Eric]

Good signs early on.

 

[GCRV]

Not one mistake from the Dragons yet.

 

[Morgan]

Amone has been so much better since Griffin was punted.

 

[Eric]

This time Suli rushes up and takes no one....

 

[RedV01]

Our second rowers are so crap.

 

[GCRV]

Hunt having a shocker.

 

[RedV01]

Hunt having a shocker.

• Second rowers are good, hard-working, NSW Cup quality.
• Hunt is playing really bad.
• If not for the missed tackle on their second rower, I wouldn't realise Sloan is playing.
• Why does Feagai get the ball after kicks and basically "walk" into the oncoming defence?

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

I wouldn't realise Sloan is playing.

Has he lost interest losing his three amigo mate Sully plus Lomax looming as the custodian next season.

 

[Eric]

The attack is just atrocious! Why does Flanno want to keep Hunt?

Hook Sloan!!

 

[Morgan]

Sloan's defense is outright cringe! Does anyone know a worse defender? I think he 'beats' Dufty in poorness.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Why does Flanno want to keep Hunt?

Tell me and we'll both know.
