No Ex-Tigers management has been spotted over at Manly have they? The fact that this level of gently caress-up seems to independently occurred without being Tigers or Todd Carney based is worrying to say the least.

Vidot has a couple of things to work on and apparently has to earn his way back into the team after slacking off in preseason training. Expect him back in the next few rounds either replacing Reed on the wing (or maybe Maranta if he's awful) or playing in the middle somewhere. He played one half at prop for the Jets last week and the other on the wing.

Hope we can beat the Sharks, they'll be pretty motivated after last week plus Barba will want to prove something. How Gallen didn't even cop a trip to the judiciary for the on field hand shandy is beyond me, even with the NSW factor taken into account.

He's alright, safe under the high ball but not much chop in attack. If you watch the tries other teams' wingers score and then look at Maranta the difference is stark. Some of these guys are planting tries with an outstretched arm reaching around the corner post while horizontal in the air outside the line and being tackled by two or three players. Maranta can only finish when the line is wide open.

In other news Corey Oates is in replacing Dale Copley who picked up a calf injury. If Oates can play well and show a bit of stamina we may well run a wing pairing of Oates and Vidot for most of the year.

Broncos were equally bad. But my work comp's tips had to be locked in for the first 3 weeks since the organiser is away getting married and he refuses to use a login tipping site. I suspect it's so he can gently caress around 'sorting out the tipping' instead of doing actual work if he does it his way.
