Round 26 - v Manly - Friday 6pm

[Dave03]

It was a shocking loss to the dogs. Hopefully we can end the season with a couple of wins. Manly found a bit of form beating the Knights through the help of the ref.

We need to give opportunities to a few younger players imo. Kyle, Holmes & Kerr can sit out. Holmes looks cooked, get surgery or whatever he needs to be right for preseason.

LKT ball playing has been great & LPT was one fwd who dominated the dogs. A few shining lights, hope we see more.

1. Sloan
2. Feagai
3. Suli
4. Nick T
5. Tu
6. LKT
7. Reed
8. Toby
9. Cook
10. Loko
11. Stewart
12. Egan
13. Halangahu

14. Atko
15. Ryan
16. Webster
17. Hutchinson
18. Kyle
19. Kerr

I want a couchman on the field at all times. They were both off against the dogs. Also gives us a bit of legspeed with Ryan off the bench. He still plays 60mins.

I hope Nick T isn't selected to play centre. Give him a chance to play in the forwards.

Kyle needs to be dropped. Not on the bench.

Good to see that you guys picked Sloan at full back. Atko was a dismal failure in that #1 jersey and please Deano - I sense in a way that you are doing Shane Flanno a favour by keeping Kyle in the team but can't you see that he is shit, absolutely. I must admit that initially I felt sorry for the way he was "badly treated" by the Roosters and Bullydogs but now we all know why.

While defense let us down on Saturday night - having 44 points scored against us was bad - our attack was very clunky and lacked precision and finesse and speed of execution. Our forwards are maintaining a high level of commitment and resilience. Fullback and half back fellas didn't cut the mustard last night.

Against Manly with TommyT back and a more positive resolve to finish the season well, we will need to be able to quell their raids with their speedy players so it will be a tough one and at this stage I am leaning towards Manly getting the 2 points.

Sorry Justa. This thread has already been posted by Dave03 this morning.

If Atkinson is at FB, we get done by a country mile

I think we are going to struggle with the speed in Manly's backline, regardless of who plays fullback.
