[Super Freak]

Paul Green has said he is wielding the axe.. By dropping O'Neill and Winterstein.

Winterstein was probably one of their better players against the Eels. But then he replaces him with fucking Javid Bowen instead of Gela-Mosby. Meanwhile the likes of Granville and Cooper don't get dropped while blokes like Mitchell Dunn, who did quite well during his time, sits in the reserves.

He consulted coach Eve before making the changes. She appreciated it.

 

[Super Freak]

Campbell Graham is out for the Rabbitohs, Hymel Hunt replaces him on the wing.

Mitchell Moses survived the first cut, indicating that he is a chance of playing tomorrow night.

Squads are updated to reflect the changes.

 

[Super Freak]

Manase Fainu's application to play has been rejected by the NRL.

He is a development player and not in the 30, so Manly needed approval for him to be able to play. The NRL have denied it because they feel Manly have fit players in their squad capable of playing at hooker.

They could also upgrade his contract to include him in the 30, but a player would need to drop out in order for them to do so.

So it looks like Manase Fainu will not be playing NRL.

If only they could do a Roosters, find a player who miraculously just failed a 2nd drug test, they’d be fine.

Suck a big fat dick Manly, and good on the NRL for showing some backbone for once.

Commiserations @Fozz

I'll bet Jackson Hastings could play hooker.

I'll bet Jackson Hastings could play hooker.

He's certainly been fucked by Manly while on their payroll, so yeah.

I'm actually excited for this game so I can watch Souths play..

What's wrong with me?

Because you are a closet Souths fan which is something that I have always suspected. I am hoping that you still have all your teeth but having seen their fanbase, that is extremely doubtful.

 

[GCBRONCO]

LOL you couldn't script that better.

 

[Super Freak]

First sideline kick Reynolds has got in a while.

How do I come across as a closet Souths fan?

I like watching them as well, especially their left-hand side plays. They are so good to watch, hopefully, we can do something similar.

Shaping up to be another quality Thursday night game.
