Most people leaving Garrick out are still going to play him if he scores well. I'd play Lemu over him if I couldn't loop. Fullbacks have generally been scoring like ass against Panthers (except Latrell), even with Cleary and others out.
Latrell: 54 and 75 with a double
Teddy: 15 and 51 with a try
Ponga: 17 with a try
TTrbo: 16 with a try
Bula: 45
Walsh: 33
Guth: 32
CNK: 29
Meaney: 16 and 29
I was gonna loop Ramien by default, but have chucked Garrick in there instead. Not worried about DCE. Should get decent KMs and hopefully an attacking stat or two in the drubbing.
Yep, this is all it is for me. Having recently "enjoyed" Teddy's and Ponga's scores against the Panthers, my assessment is that Manly are certainly not playing better than Knights or even Roosters, and Garrick is also not quite the fullback that Ponga and Teddy are. I personally can't see an avenue where Garrick scores over 20, but I'd hand out free high fives to be proven wrong.
As for Cleary captaincy, I haven't thought about taking the C off him, but playing alongside Cogger is a bit of an unknown, innit? Not enough for me to do anything outrageous, but it's a curious situation.
