Official Round 3 v Manly Match Discussion

[Birddog]

Our forwards should lay the platform for a win. If both sets of fwds continue their form we should sh1t all over them in the forwards
Okunbor is obviously the weak link but Harper for manly is in the same boat to China, they may rule each others mistakes out of the game.

Despite Avo, our halves should also gain the advantage due to our forwards dominance and the fact that DCE is in headless chook mode and Foran is well uhm fk it old. Burton should win the battle of the halves.

Saab is quick but so is JAC but Jac has more experience, more wit more game awareness and better in defence.

That just leaves one Turbo, of which I have 3 letters and 1 word TPJ thunderdome of a nice high kick.

I'm having a 50 on us at 4to 1, if we lose, Barrett has to go, sack the shit. If we win he stays another week and will buy him a softdrink from my winnings

 

[GrogDog]

That's my strike #1 for Tbaz.

Had the team been properly selected I think we are competitive in this match and maybe an upset. I think our forwards can do the job.

BUT I tip knockonmore to let in 5 tries this week and we get done by 20. No way does Des not target him.

 

[Interestingg]

Both our edges are poor in defence, difference is one side has JAC covering everyone while the other has Okunbor just contributing to the chaos. Okunbor is a must change though, he has to go. You cant turn you back on the defence and fucking jog backwards for two consecutive weeks and retain your position.

I had to rub my eyes in shock when I saw him running backwards like a headless chook. Fk me

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Yep The Broncos chose to target Okunbor at the expense of their main strike weapon in Staggs.

Staggs was shit the week before also...Honestly i rate Herbie just as high, he moves really well, is aggressive and actually goes looking for work.

Evidently you can. #letsgallop

Losing sight of the ball is his signature move though

 

[oldpuppy]

If I was going to drop Okunbor I would announce him in the team and drop him to 18th man at the last minute. Let Manly prepare all week as though he is playing.

lol The most effective way to stop Manly scoring is not playing okunbor.

 

[Dogtime]

How lucky are we getting “Home Ground Ben” when we are the away team. About time we had him in a home game. We won the penalty count under Ziggy last week, and his reward is to be relegated to touch judge in our game this week.

Very suspicious.

These are not the drones we are looking for....your free to go on your way....to become cannon fodder for Manly first win of the season opening their new look home ground.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

One thing I want to mention is about JAC. Okunbor rightly gets criticised for coming in of his wing when he doesn’t need to.

JAC at times does the same thing.

Remember the GF qualifier last year, when Crichton easily scored Penrith‘s first try, from a kick, with JAC well infield and out of position. i have picked up that a few times in the first two gsmes, he is coming in when not needed. Old habits might die hard.

But when JAC jams in he commits to his decision. Okunbur gets stuck in no man's land

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Looking at Manlys line up we look like we can win this.

Brisbane look stronger on paper than Manly, and Manly are playing terribly atm.

I really want us to win this, I don’t like Des

Manlys middle third are weak. We can dominate them if we are switched on imo

He ran the perfect decoy for the Broncos, well done Jaydon lol

I wonder if Okunbor had collided with Burns or one of ours would broncos be penalised for obstruction ?

 

[KiwiDog7]

He's so clueless it's almost funny, it's like he's in his own world. I can't ever remember seeing something like that lol.

Pretty sure he gets stoned before games

 

[KiwiDog7]

Last year we played them with the worst dogs team since 1935

This year will be different

 

[OldDogFan]

Happy for him to be dropped when he comes up with shit reads but I don't think what happened on weekend was as much his fault. If anything two tries were more on burns

If he was any sort of a first grader when the ball he leaped for rolled into the Broncos goal he would have been all over it like treacle on pudding, but the big lunk just stood there gawking at it roll away. He does not have any football smarts what-so-ever.

I'd have to watch it again, but on first view, I didn't think to point the finger at JOK for the spilt ball. I think you may be harsh. It's the inside centre and guys in the middle that should have pounced. Burns amd Dufty realistically...

Okonbor contested the ball but when it dribbles in goal we should’ve had guys pushing up on that play to pounce but we were gassed and it was only broncos jerseys in the frame.

(I rewatched the game last night )

Last year manly beat us 104-18.

Barrett must join him. Especially on Tuesday afternoons around the selection table
