How many more wins in 2015?

[globaleagle]

I always cant help but do the Glen McGrath (without the shooting of animals bit) and think we will win every game.

Can't help but dream of getting into the top 8 and winning the whole damn thing. Can you imagine the awesomeness of that?!?! 9 months later, population on the northern beaches doubles. lol

 

[Go manly]

We will put 20 on the tits this week and beat cows at home just to fire a shot over the bow before winning all remaining home games

Get plenty on for us to beat both Broncs and souffs by 13+

Players will be jumping over each other to hit it up each ruck and back to sweeping left and right side backline moves

Jorge to score doubles in 5 games

DCE to lead the way with 40 /20 on each match and killer to kick at 85%

jesus.is that the time-I hope that was not just a dream

Long nights turn into yellow day.....,,,,

Go manly

 

[maxta]

Close to 6 wins with remaining games.....injuries cruelled Manly early but with players back - so will the good run home.

 

[Ralphie]

Well it's 9 games to go, and our backsides on the line to either avoid the spoon OR make a miraculous entry into the top 8.

Here's the draw and I'd like you to post your thoughts and let's see how close we all go.

A- Titans
H-Cowboys
A-Warriors
H-Broncos
H-Souths
A-Raiders
H-Eels
H-Roosters
A-Sharks

I reckon we will win 4 more games, Titans, Eels, Sharks and one upset, possibly the Bunnies.

We should avoid the spoon but not make the 8.

Of course I might be wrong and they might " get it all together" in the run home but I think in reality we lack the firepower against the likes of the Cowboys and Broncos ( who might even play off in the GF).

It's too hard to predict an exact finishing position but I'd suggest somewhere between 13-15.

Now your turn!

We are specials against Raiders & Eels. We are 50/50 against Titans, Warriors, Sharks & souffs. We won't beat cows, donkeys & chooks. So at best we will win 7 and at worst we will win 2 and be spooners.

I am confident we can win 3 but have no idea which 3.

If we run into some decent form we might be able to sneak 5 more wins but that would pull us up.

Our line up is not good enough, it's that simple.

Correct mate , other sides have had injuries this year but only one hasn't coped ( us) , our depth has been not of FG quality, and our bench weaker than most ( even at full strength).

Considering all that's transpired in the season and this situation somewhere between 12-15 is an honourable finish.

Anything better will be a real bonus.

No other side has had anything like our injury toll this year, even comparing to the panthers last year we had missed more than 80% of the weeks they missed by the half way mark due to injury.

We are currently at almost full strength = only 5 missing due to injury(i do not count Cheyse Blair)

 

[bob dylan]

Penriths toll this year has been worse than ours. I think its all the other crap that has had a more adverse effect.

The night they beat us at Brooky was they were missing more than half there side. We have both used 28 players this year. That night they were without Kite, Idris, Whare, Wallace, Mansour, and others

 

[bones]

How many more injuries = How many more wins

So you'd like us to get 9 more injuries?

Incorrect, the night we played them we were still short 2 more.

It may have evened up but there was a stat about round 10 that we had already missed more than 70 games due to unjury, the next closest club was about 50.

The storm were the best at the time with just 7 games missed due to injury.

 

[bob dylan]

Not going too far into it but our team was only without 4 players Foran, Buhrer, Starling and Lawrence. Sure you can add the likes of Gutherson but he would not of been playing even if he was fit.

 

[bob dylan]

To tell you the truth our Injury Crisis has been blown out of all proportion. Here is a list of appearances each player has made this season

BALLIN, Matt 15
BURGESS, Luke 15
LUI, Dunamis 15
SYMONDS, Tom 15
CHERRY-EVANS, Daly 14
HIKU, Peta 14
MASON, Willie 14
TRBOJEVIC, Jake 14
SAO, Ligi 13
STEWART, Brett 13
MATAI, Steve 11
FORAN, Kieran 10
HORO, Justin 10
MATEO, Feleti 10
LYON, Jamie 9
TAUFUA, Jorge 8
BLAIR, Cheyse 7
BUHRER, Jamie 7
LEARY, Blake 6
SENE-LEFAO, Jesse 6
TRBOJEVIC, Tom 6
HASSON, James 5
STARLING, Josh 5
WILLIAME, Brayden 5
HODGES, Jayden 3
WILLIAMS, David 3
GUTHERSON, Clinton 1
LAWRENCE, Brenton 1

So by the official count between Lawrence and Gutherson there is 28 "missing matches".

Not going too far into it but our team was only without 4 players Foran, Buhrer, Starling and Lawrence. Sure you can add the likes of Gutherson but he would not of been playing even if he was fit.

Game 1 we were missing Stewart, Tafua, Lyon, BJ, Starling, Leary, Mateo, Gutherson and I think Wolfman(with Blair and Williame playing Guthbo and wolfy can be counted), Game 2 we got players back and were "only" missing Foran, Buhrer, Starling, BJ, JSL = 5 & Guthbo also who may have influenced our 5/8 descision.

not sure where you get blow out of proportion?

only 11 players have played more than 2/3 of the games, our 17 most experienced player this year is Blair.

 

[bob dylan]

Just a point of interest here is Bronc's and Penrith player match stats. We have all all used 28 players. There are a few teams that have used more players by the way, Warriors, Dragons and Titans, there maybe others.

Surprised the bongos have used that many. We did hit the 27 mark very early on though, and since round 8 have won 4 lost 4, with injuries inproving slowly along the same time.

 

[davohan123]

Titans away L: Everyone thinks they will be easy beats , they will be up for this game don't like our chances

Cowboys home W: JT to be shown up by his great mate and playing PAL DCE

Warriors away W Really cannot predict this game it all depends on which warriors team turns up on the day

Broncos Home ( Gosford) L: Broncos will be too strong up front

Rabbits Home : W Expect an upset here and will win by 8

Raiders : L Sunday afternoon down in Canberra hard to beat

Parra H : W Revenge for round 1 defeat 13 + Manly

Easts H : W It will be announced before this round 25 clash the decision re Toovey and the boys will lift and beat Easts

Sharks Away loss: They will be hard to beat down there

5 wins 4 loses end up on 24 points for the season 10-13th place finish.

 

[Simonmyers11]

6 wins

Titans Away
Cowboys Home
Broncos Home
Souths Home
Eels Home
Sharks Away

we have lost 5 games by 10 points or less, and games against broncos, cowboys, panthers that could of gone the only way. Probably wont make the eight but confident with 6 wins if we stay injury free and play to their best
