Looking forward to a great game today with a whole hearted team effort. Manly boys doing us proud!
No bitching from me, just support and plenty of cheering.
Manly by 6

 

[Sea Eagle 4 Life]

I think lads that the 8 match losing streak will be beaten. After Souths we have Cowboys, Bulldogs, roosters and a red hot dragons.

Red hot Dragons - after 1 game. Give me a break!

 

[qldeagle]

Bloody hell if we can't beat the Rabbits today then the only real opportunity for a win will be round 11 against the Titans.

 

[Budgie]

If we lose today the club has a very tough road ahead. Not just in terms of the team getting a win but also, I suspect, an awful lot of fans will drop off after two years of disappointment and yet another bad start. Very important game for (choke on it) The Brand.

hrmmmm gotta pick the missus up from the races and most likely miss the game... lemme get in early...
if we lose .. "the refs were hopeless, we were robbed, barrett needs to go, myles is useless, brown needs to be sent to nsw cup, greenberg personally instructed the refs to wipe us out of the game.." .. sorry if i missed anything..

if we win... "yay, top 4 here we come for sure"

LOL

Today's match is a make or break game. Today it doesn't matter how depleted our pack may be, the players must all lift. Confident yet cautious as we get closer

 

[Chip and Chase]

Johnston is a better fullback than winger with more to prove and now knows it's his spot to lose.
IMO they lose very little with him at 1 v Inglis at 1.

I wouldn't be surprised if Walker goes to fullback, Sutton to 6, Talaki to bench and Johnston pushes Goodwin into centre.

Too many positional changes there for mine but you could be right

Bad luck mate, but I hope your missus wins or at least gets a place.

ba hahahahaha!

just woke up the dog with my laughing.

Forget the forwards. For me it's the $10mill man that better start to fire up. Just watch JT and Hunt last night take total control of their teams. DCE better lead this team to a win and be man of match doing it tonight
Time to step up Mr $$$ or ship out and let someone else do it.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Good luck today to Cullen on debut for the Sea Eagles and young Bainbridge.

Always like seeing players debut and youngsters getting an opportunity!

He's had lots of excuses , injuries, no proper 5/8 etc etc, but you are right if he doesn't start to step up soon the chorus for his demotion to NSW Cup will get a lot louder!!

He's got speed and power to burn in that backline. He better start creating some plays so we can see it. Ball is in his court to get that backline firing.

 

[Woodsie]

I am usually the optimist here having never tipped Manly to lose .... but this week a lot of you have me covered. A win with kapow, Lussick, AFB and Perrett out just seems a bit too much for me.

But where there is Maroon and white there is hope ..... Fuch'n go Manly!

Agree but forwards need to lay the platform

 

[Chip and Chase]

So Bainbridge into the 17 it seems, so who drops out ? Hastings or Cullen ?

Hasting has just come back from injury . Cullen is fitter, on form and on song .
Cullen is primed up for a big one today
