Has Mini got an asterix next to his name pending a poll on the Chookpen as to whether he should play this week or not?

This would be our best team if the powers that be did'nt can Sonny Bill.

Who should miss out if we were at full strength?

In an ideal world, you put SBW straight in for FPN and move Guerra to lock with Maubs dropping to bench..

In this world, Napa will be the one to miss out. We need an extra prop on the bench with size who can continue to do what we need once Moa/JWH goes off.

I agree .
Napalm should be considered above the inconsistant FPN.
I'd have Liu (if fit) above him as well.

[Johnny.]

On paper, they're eminently beatable. I no longer fear Manly like I used to.

No it just invokes a standard clause whereby the more knowlegable posters on here can start a post match thread requesting his immediate retirement if he fails to make at least 6 line breaks or commits more than one handling error.

Fare enuff really.

Foran still can't walk, he said he is very doubtful to be playing this week.

That will be a huge plus as he is always one of their best against us.

I think maubs is a starter, he plays a lot more natural and hits holes better than when he comes off the bench.

[shagger]

I think Siosiua Taukeiaho will get a run this weekend depending on the makeup of the manly side. Might be his last chance to
get a run before all the other guys return.

I wanted Mini gone at the start of last season. He played soundly in the big games and led us well. I'm happy for him to be there again this season, but so far he's had one good game and two shockers. Some people might be happy seeing their fullback drop easy catches with nobody around him as long as we get the win, but the time is fast approaching when our coach will have to make a tough decision

Lol...well I'm sure you are one of the knowledgeable posters then.

Cockadoodledo is making a list....and checking it twice.

[The Brain]

The way they have it now with him and RTS swapping is ok ...Mini is quite dangerous on our wing inside the oppositions quarter.
Hard to claim it but I would love Manly in the Zero club ...new rules make it harder but the Chooks can do it.
