PRE-GAME Round 10 - Sea Eagles vs Broncos

[Jamin90]

I posted this in another thread, but there's some talk of the usefulness of Boyd at fullback, so I thought I'd share this reddit post that compates fullbacks based on some stats

Of course Coote is a shit kick returner, his body is made of wet tissue paper.

Its a shame flegler is still on a development contract. He would have played this week against the eagles for certain.
He is way too good for cup and what he produced again this afternoon was outstanding

I'd have Pat in front of him right now tbh, mind you, i would have had him in front of Haas as well.

Im a carrigan fan but for me flegler is the oick of the lot. He will play origin in years to come

Not intimidated by Manly at all going off what I'm seeing tonight. We should win well but I'm not daring to suggest it'll be a massacre at this point.

We really need to get numbers on Taupau and wrap up the ball, we can't let him offload and we can't let him get a good run up.

He has made over 200 metres against the Roosters. Our line speed needs to be good to limit the impact he can have on the game. Fonua-Blake I'm not really concerned about, it's Taupau.

Also need to be careful of the short ball from DCE to Lane or Thompson. Both Thompson and Lane are good at hitting holes so we need to be switched on for that.

If we dish up the same kind of performance like last week's, we will lose. As I said, Manly love playing at Suncorp.

Isaako has to avoid coming off his wing, because Manly favour their left side in attack and they will carve that side up if we aren't switched on defensively and have players rushing up. It looks like Uate will be on that side next week, but even if Wright is on that side, he is still a threat due to Trbojevic.

TPJ needs to bring out a cockroach or spider onto the field.

Surprisingly Taupau is terrified of them.

Haha! Short term sounds about right.

Cockroachs ? Yet he's from NSW. Lol.

Haha true that.

Well someone like a Thaiday should run their fingers on his neck to psyche him out.

Klemmer style? Shave his head and shouldn’t be a penalty.

Or can Thaiday take one for the team with a few shoulder charges and then we can benefit from Thaiday taking a few weeks off as well!
