Come on Bellyache, enough is enough. This week the season revival starts.

Hopefully, something like this lines up this weekend:

1. Billy Slater
2. Travis Robinson (in for Waqa who is injured)
3. Will Chambers
4. Mahe Fonua (since O'Neill is injured and due to a lack of depth, he is the only one that comes to mind)
5. Young Tonumaipea
6. Ben Hampton
7. Cooper Cronk
8. Jesse Bromwich
9. Cameron Smith (C)
10. Mitch Garbutt
11. Kevin Proctor
12. Ryan Hoffman
13. Ryan Hinchcliffe

14. Kenny Bromwich
15. Tohu Harris
16. Felise Kafusi
17. George Rose

Manly have 4 or 5 players out. I'd be pretty pissed if we can't win this. It's basically season over if we don't.

How sure are we that they won't play though, they always seem to come back from injury vs us.

You can add Watmough to that list, so there will be five missing.

DCE is expected to play... not really expecting him to miss. Huge game this week... possibly season defining!

DCE tore his calf in the Test and is out for 4-6 weeks. Jamie Lyon did a grade 2 medial ligament 2 weeks ago. Grade 2 normally takes 6 weeks.

You're such a pessimist, Sally.

And, no way does DCE play this weekend - he's predicted to miss up to a month of football. Unless he's hidden his super healing powers from all and sundry he won't be lining up against us on the weekend.

Focusing on our mighty team again, I'd be very upset if Tohu doesn't start this weekend - he's a GUN and is our best second rower therefore we're not maximizing his talent by using him off the interchange.

If anyone from the Storm is reading this - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE drop Hinchcliffe back to the bench.

If Storm do not approach this game as though they are playing a full strength Manly team...then they will lose.

This one is 99% above the shoulders....

I guess that's going to happen if you sit in the cold all night then run around the park for a few minutes.....but....lol

(not that any injury is funny....but, the circumstance most certainly is!)

Fox Sports is reporting that he's likely to play, so we'll see

I swear NRL have the worst journalists. One minute they report DCE will miss a month, next they're saying he's a chance of playing this week. One minute they're reporting Benji will either go to Cronulla or Melbourne next it's Cronulla, North Queensland or St George. C'mon.

Surely I3....you realise that they just make it all up as they go along. They have no idea. We have more idea than they do....
