PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Knights [Round 20, 2019]

[The Who]

What's the 'number 5' to which Donny refers?

Thinking about it, he probably is referring to the fact that we are currently 5th on the ladder.

I think this game will be a cracker!
I expect plenty of hostility from both packs and wouldn't be surprised to see a send off or two.
Throw in old boys round and a big crowd it will be close, Manly by 10.

You got me all fired up @Briza !....still two days to go!

Looks like Api will play tomorrow, his partner posted on social media how good it will be to play his 100th game at home this weekend.

Massive boost for us getting the 1-2 punch combo back on the park. This will keep the pressure on the knights all game.

Squad reduced - API/Jack still included

 

[Luke_m]

API is going to play wonder if it’s in the starting side or off the bench

 

[susan]

Feel exactly the same about this game as the eels game. We have a confident , fit , well drilled side at the moment who will have got enormous confidence from bringing down the scum....throw in APIs return and I think they will handle Newcastle comfortably in front of a great brookie crowd.

If he's fit, he should start. Fainu has more to offer from the bench than he does.

Obviously Ponga is the major threat and i expect him to pull some rabbits outa his ears. If we handle that then wel win comfortably.

Is it just me or does Ponga look a bit creepy . A Mouri with red hair and strange serial killer eyes. Weird man !

Club expecting a crowd like last home game, tix sales have been very good obviously depends on the walk up

Just saw Mitchell and SKD walking down manly corso . No drinks in hand but that’s gotta be a good sign for manly . What could go wrong being out the night before a game

Nothing goes pear shaped on the corso on a Friday night, especially in the Bermuda Triangle bit.
