2019 NSW Cup

Be interesting to see how JSaf , Saulo and of course Guerra who I assume will take Sione spot and him back to bench. Need JSaf and Saulo to cover likely loss of Klemmer, DSaf and Glasby and didn’t think Gavet and King went ok.
Think Cooper is a good option to replace Lee.

Kicked off.
I wanted to see Crossland and Hoy in the halves for under 20s this year, but Crossland in 7 and Hoy in 6.
I don't think we've ever seen two better natural athletes in the halves.
 
20-4 to Manly after 30 minutes.
Guerra hasn't returned from HIA, so looks like 3 minutes is all he'll play.
Momoisea replaced by Alifa.
 
20-8 after 36 minutes - try to Tex Hoy.
We started the game with only 2 forwards on the bench and lost a forward after 3 minutes, so we are basically using a one man forward rotation, although Zac Woolford has mostly been playing lock recently.
 
20-8 at halftime

Saulo replaced by Cleveland McGhie, who must be a forward - I thought he was a winger for some reason.
 
26-8 to Manly after 45
Saulo is back on for McGhie after 10 minutes. McGhie went off for HIA
Jake Saf and Hosking are both unchanged after 45 minutes.
 
still 26-8 after 53 minutes.
Jake Saifiti off after 53, replaced by Jirah Momoisea.
Bradman Best off, replaced by Zac Woolford. I suspect Bradman might have played a bit of second row.
 
34-8 after 60 minutes.
Sounds like we are shot to pieces after losing 2 to HIA - Guerra after 3 minutes.
 
36-12 after 65 minutes - try to Mitch Andrews.
The good news is we have only used 4 non HIA interchanges - the bad news is the only fit player on the bench is Jake Saifiti who has already done a 53 minute shift.
