Will He Step Up or Will He Choke Asian

Choke Asian?



I dunno. I think if Jamie Lyon plays like he did on Saturday it won't matter too much how Orford plays as alot of the pressure will be off him.

Either way I think Manly will win.

LOL Asian

honestly i dont see Lyon playing any roll thats going to influence the match.. its either orford or no one

Well the whole reason he played so bad against them at Brooky earlier this year is because he was their only point of attack and kicking option etc.

And Orford has shown time and time again, if he is the man they rely on in close games against good opposition he can't handle it and comes up with bad options.

So if Lyon can play like he has been and did against the Warriors, or more likely can take the pressure and focus off Orford, then I think Manly will be fine.

Plus Brett Stewart is becoming better and better as a ball player and link in backline movements so that is another option.

Then you have Glenn Stewart, Beaver, L'Estrange and Ballin who all can play a plamaking role at different stages in different situations and areas on the field.

So again, as long as Manly don't rely too heavily on Orford, then I think they will be fine and it won't matter how much he chokes. If everyone contributes then they will be fine. But if they just hand it to Orford the whole game and pray for the best then he has shown in the past that they will be in trouble.

He will try to step up , but wont be enough to match it with Cronk.

 

[B-Train]

Oh yeah. It all also depends on the platform his forwards lay for him... That old adage..........

[loui323]

manly will take this one out this time...

 

[Bob dog]

The thing with Orford is he doesnt look stressed under pressure, I think he will have a great game on Sunday.

 

[Kim Possible]

He will step up imo.

Seems like Manly want it more this year.

 

[Vladamir]

he better step up
i cant stand to see melbourne win again

 

[will.i.am]

I reckon the Ox will stand up but he has a slight injury niggle he sustained last weekend.

If Lyon can help him out in the play-making department, Orford will be the better for it.
