SYDNEY ROOSTERS v MANLY WARRINGAH SEA EAGLES

[Lydon]

Lodge has been bending the line for Manly which helps them get a roll on through the middle before they shift.

He must be stopped! JWH must win that battle and not be sent off or placed on report in the process.

Yes agreed,Lodge has been good for them..

We have a job on our hands containing there forwards,hope we’re up for it!

[Easts75]

Interestingly the bookies have us favourites but the 'experts' in the Smh are 7 to 5 favouring sea Eagles.If you disregard the bottom 6 tipsters, the top 6 tipsters favour manly 4 to 2!

I think it's legitimately a 50/50 game.

We are obviously injury effected and they simply aren't that good and should have lost last weekend

For me Olakau'atu is their danger man, even more than a busted Tommy. Their weak link IMO is Garrick defensively

That was his best game since the end of 2022. He's hardly been on the park for them in the time he's been there and was terrible for us at the start of last season. Whilst he provides excellent go forward, he can be a real liability defensively. I can see Connor and Teddy trying to work him over with their speed and footwork and hopefully we can have some success there.

Absolutely mate. Lodge has a turning circle just like the Manly Ferry.

It’s being reported by FOX Sports that Radley will likely be named on the bench and Wong will make way.

i don’t know the specifics of his injury but if he is not 100% Wong should play. I felt Wong was ordinary at the beginning of the year but he was terrific vs Penrith and made a significant impact off the bench. He was on a mission

we all love Rads but if he needs the extra week, it’s worth the risk to let him heal.

**** me that sounds like a massive risk to me. Likely scenario he injures in the early minutes he's on and we are then a man down.

Agree Wongs been very good and determined the last two games.

Following the debacle of last weeks officialdom and I’m not just thinking of the forward pass ruling.
I would like to see the re intro of having 2 refs for finals.
The NRL cried poor at the commencement of the year after we won back to back and used covid as an excuse for not being able to pay 2 refs as well as all the intro of rule changes thru out.
A 2 ref game last week would likely have kept Pedriff onside. Is it a coincidence they have dominated since the elimination of 2 refs and rule changes. I think not.
The NRL are cashed up now so why not 2 for a final series. it keeps the bastards honest.
They still have a 27 weeks comp to engineer results and have supplementary click bait income.

If Radley plays, Wong should be on the bench. He offers significantly more than little Nat.

[Chook2]

Would prefer Wong over Nat
but Nat is in robbos untouchables now not being a risk of being dropped despite offering f all

[roosterchook]

Firstly we need to play 80 minutes. We don’t have a kicker to compete with DCE. We are very suspect under the high ball. Expect Toups and Young to be targeted. My main concern though is our very crap defense. We let in so many soft tries week after week.

[HDTONE]

Just hope this game doesn't come down to a refs bonehead error.....like a forward pass call that wasn't forward. Every right to feel nervous.

[ARD]

Hard to gauge where we are at after that Penrith match. Our halves need to be a lot better, with and without the pill.

Penrith then Melbourne then daylight then Us. If we win this week Manu needs to move to the halves if we have any chance of jagging a victory and getting into the GF.

[Chicken.Little]

Then next year maybe trial Teddy at 6. I always thought he would make a good 6. Mark N to fullback.

[bondi.boy]

One team playing tonite is trying hard, playing ok but making mistakes.
They've basicaly lost the match by half time.

We'll have.to play much better than we did against Panthers to not lose our game by half time.
