Pick Your Team Manly v Warriors - [Round 27, 2025]

[slime]

I think we could rest at least a couple of players and ask a few others if they would benefit from a week off.
With the NSW Cup team having a bye it's perfect timing to give some of the players exiting one last crack.

• Rest CNK, replace with Taine
• Rest Egan, replace with Healey
• Rest/Ask CHT, replace with TMM
• Keep: DWZ, Berry, Boyd, TSS, TMM, EIT, Demi, and Leka
• Ask: Pompey, RTS, JFH, Capewell, Niukore, and Clark if they could do with a week off
• Replacements: MGT, Kosi, Afoa, Ale, Going, Lussick (but I think he's injured)
• Possibly give one player a debut or 18th man: Fatialofa
  No to any other names thrown around as debutants, Kali, Harper, etc.

Ideally get through the game with no injuries to our top squad members for finals.

Edit: I don't think Webster will rest anyone though, he's not one to fiddle with the line up and he doesn't even rest players during the game half the time.

IMO i would go with
1. CNK/Taine? (Rest CNK if Taine is healthy)
2. DWZ
3. Rocco
4. Pompey
5. RTS
6. CHT
7. Boyd
8. Fish
9. Healey (would 100% rest Egan)
10. TSS
11. Capewell
12. Leka
13. Going? (Rest Clark)

14. TMM
15. Niukore
16. Demitric
17. Eddie
Fatialofa 18th man

Rest none, we can’t afford it.

Melb and Dogs favourites to win this weekend and we need them to, as well as take care of Manly Friday which will be tough enough for us in its own right.

Top four gives us a free hit at the Canberra which I wouldn’t rule out just quietly.

We have to be gunning for that. In the unlikely event we win it everyone can rest before we play the GF qualifier.

Lose it and we have a game at home a week later anyway.

Clear we have to be all in Friday night and Lady Luck does the rest.

We don't need to rest Wayde. He rested last week

So you don't think that Bellamy and Ciraldo are likely to be resting players
Silly if they don't imo but hey..

I doubt that Bellamy is going to be resting too many players given how much the Roosters dealt to them last week. Guarantee Hughes is playing.

I saw someone say on reddit that Bellamy said he was not going to be resting players this week in the presser

Yes mate I saw that also. Remains to be seen

 

[Naynay]

I maybe would just look at resting leka, Demi, rts, CNK, and Egan maybe additionally Clark

Probably chuck in Fatialofa, Ale/ Bunty , Kali, taine and healy, if clark is rested Going

Really disappointed with how Marata has been playing these last few months since Barney has gone down. Couple real bad D errors on Friday led to Eels 1st couple tries. He let Fox thru his grasp in goal to then see him run 100m to dot down. And either the 2nd or 3rd try under our posts and he was caught flat footed and pretty much waved the player thru by going high and grabbing at a shoulder. And he can’t bust a tackle either. Runs hard but has no punch. And we have to watch him play on the edge 55+ mins straight each week of this crap. Would rather Leka gets 55mins and Marata plays 30mins at prop or just not in the 17.
