Team for Manly Trial

[Chook2]

Cheese playing for Maori all stars
Leniu must have an injury
maybe jwh too? Even though he is suspensed you can play trials

[BigCok007]

I reckon Manu will play the 2nd half at fullback to give Teddy a rest.

Yeah probably right actually

[Easts75]

Good that we're using an actual hooker (Dockar-Clay) for this game and it'll probably give Robbo an indication as to how he goes and whether he'll be a genuine back-up option for this season, but personally I was keen to see Tyler Moriarty have a crack (if he's fit and able to play).


Not a bad looking side for a first hit out though !

An actual hooker in Dockar Clay ??? As in Docker - Clay who made around 30 appearances for the Bears last season for a grand total of 0 as hooker ? Once again, will not be sighted in FG unless we are absolutely decimated. He is bog average in regards of first grade terms

He's a versatile little cat. Played mostly lock for the Bears I think, started at 6 for the Maoris vs Indigenous last year then switched to hooker during the game.

He is the new Hutchinson

[rcptn]

Really? He is listed among the forwards on the official site, as a hooker. His bio reads:

"Young hooker Tyler Moriarty will be primed to make his NRL debut in 2024 and deputise Brandon Smith in the ruck throughout the season. The crafty rake is a product of the Club's Central Coast Pathways system, and is tipped to have a long and fruitful career in Red, White and Blue."

I was talking about Docker Clay

[Waylander]

Yeah, I realised after I read the next post. Sorry about that.

I’m pretty sure ZDC played all his NRL games at hooker at the Dogs.

[Mickie Lane]

Strong side. very happy to see Sitili back. I think he's in for a big year. I'm glad the majority of the top 17 are starting.

We have a tough start to the year so we can't afford to build too slowly.

100%, he is our best backrower even though Batemans Bay Rooster says he's not even in our top 5 backrowers.
I knew if he was fit he would be in the side.

[Ray Stehr]

Brian Smith could win a comp with our squad.

No excuses.

Even Bert Holcroft could.

[theGman]

He is the new Hutchinson

Does that mean someone on this site will adopt him and make him his lapdog?

[The Real King]

All very good guesses with Spencer and Joey. Joey may play he may not. They will both be right for Round 1.

Well, his listed position and stats show him as an "Hooker" and yeah it also shows him as playing at 5/8 and half-back in the past. Maybe he's versatile ? Maybe he's now focused and playing primarily as a hooker ?

Process of elimination, it's only a trial game and if he's got what it takes he'll be in/around the 21 and if he's not then he'll return the RG and that'll be the end of him.


Don't see the issue here !
