PRE-GAME [Round 10, 2022] Manly vs Broncos

[I bleed Maroon]

If the rain comes, we should put the biggest bench possible on. Manly are already light in the starting 13.

I'm fairly certain it's gonna be beefy regardless

14. Paix
15. Flegler
16. Kennedy
17. Jenson

 

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

He would definitely be in our side. He's a better bench middle than Kennedy, and arguably Palasia. Hopefully Manly get to full strength and use him in the middle where he should be.

Have you watched any manly games this year? Whilst he has more talent than Kennedy, Kennedy is without a doubt playing better then him this year. And Kennedy isn't even making our starting 17 this week...

I reckon we are looking at:

1. Martin
2. Oates
3. Staggs
4. Farnworth
5. Cobbo (Pereira if the Illuminati Unit do their usual Broncos thing)
6. Gamble
7. Reynolds
8. Carrigan
9. Walters
10. Haas
11. Capewell
12. Riki
13. Hetherington

14. Paix
15. Flegler
16. Jensen
17. Robati/Kennedy

Strong strong side.

Strong strong side.

I want to fit Palasia into the side and by all accounts he deserves to be there but I'm happy with that side even though you've sat on the fence with Kennedy and TC.

Cobbs will play as the NRL already cleared this incident weeks ago.

I think Robati might snag the final bench spot... no blight on Kennedy only that Robati offers the ability to cover second row if needed.

That team must be close to a full strength though... probably only 6 up in the air, but we dont really have a standout option except maybe TMM

The Intellectually-deficient Unit though will likely change their mind now it is out in the media. Never underestimate their ability to screw something up even when you think they can't.

Riki: Confidence Is Key

Jordan Riki talks about the improvements that the team has made this year and how knowing their roles has helped them get three wins in a row.

The club really seems happy again.

He's no Cherry-Evans but I have to admit I'm surprised at how well spoken Riki is. Enjoyed listening to that.

How good is not having to worry about team list Tuesday because we finally have a settled line up

I would go with Palasia before Robati. It shows how quickly you blokes turn on players. But quite honestly I think this club owes a lot to Jensen and Palasia because they have single handedly shown that they are willing and capable to get through work that Haas does and I think have subsequently lowered Haas' value or even the notion that the Broncos need Haas to win. Palasia for mine is significantly better than Kennedy and Robati (through the middle, the edge is a different story) and can be relied upon for large minutes, short bursts as well as being able to play anywhere in the forward pack with experience at NRL level and cup in all 3 positions. Keenan also recently turned down a life changing offer from Manly considering his previous injury issues to stay loyal. It is a close call but I think he is better and more versatile than Kennedy and we saw what q-cup did for the confidence in Robati's game so I think he should spend more time there than a 10 minute stint in NRL every week.

 

[Jedhead]

The DT reporting Cam Murray as an injury concern. I wonder how much of that can be put down to our Terminator - Kobe Hetherington?

Palasia: There's Always Someone To Step In

Keenan Palasia talks about the competition for spots in the forward pack and how it helps all of the players perform better.

Love the team this year, they all seem really happy to be there.

Deadset, just because a guy doesn't make a full strength squad (in my opinion) doesn't mean I've turned on him. Seriously, do you want 20 guys named per position? If Palasia misses out, he is EXTREMELY unlucky and it certainly isn't because he isn't good enough, he very clearly is. This is the benefit of competition for spots. Just right now, I think we are better served by the explosivity of Kennedy (which has been a real difference maker the last few weeks) or Robati after doing so well last week.

If Palasia gets picked, good on him and well deserved, I will be very happy for him and absolutely no issues with it whatsoever. How is that 'turning on him'?

Remember kids Angus started the year on the bench for the roosters.

competition is good for spots in any club
