Pre-Game Bulldogs v Manly [Round 25, 2022]

[JenEagle]

'Weekes, Garrick, Turbo, Koula, Saab could potentially be a pretty special back five'

Absolutely, although what did you think of Saab this year?
I felt he was very underwhelming, however has potential. But is it just his speed which makes him seem good?

Saab’s form was patchy until the last few games where he was really hitting some form and confidence before he did that very unusual injury in the air.

I am a bit concerned he will lose some pace due to his acl injury but hopefully not.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

The Most passionate and committed team will win this one

Bugger. So not us then?

 

[Lyons2beaver]

Best result here is another flogging
The win does nothing but a big loss
Will just highlight even more we need big changes
Although it would be good to see Weekes
play well…

 

[BOZO]

Bugger. So not us then?

Bring Back the Passion
Bring Back Ronny the Eagle !!!

 

[BOZO]

Best result here is another flogging

Real Manly Sea eagles do not get flogged

Real Manly Sea eagle soar above the rest and fly away to Premiership winning success

We have lost our sense of Reality

 

[Bradza]

Fly him back from England 🤷‍♂️

Horhay busted his arm in the UK. Season over.

Appreciate your honesty Bozo (but for future reference, you aren't entitled to use the royal plural).

Exactly mate, more big losses is the only thing that is going to bring change.

I'd rather see us lose by 30 or 40 this week and even for the first few rounds of next year if it means we will see a change in coaching staff and captaincy.

 

[Bearfax]

That is very good!

However we are not amused.

 

[Peter C]

are "we are happy for him to do"?
Won't end well if he doesn't want to be here

Probably the club will not happy to see him go, however we have two choices, we hold him to his existing contract ,which we are entitled to do, or we let release him to another club, however if the money he's being offered is less than what we're paying him, then that's a matter between him and his proposed club, as we are willing to honour his existing contract with us.

 

[mickqld]

The most unanticipated game of the year. MUGOTY.

 

[mickqld]

Cmon boys lets go out with a bang!! Weekes at FB hope he has live wire blinder and inspires the rest to up the energy and tempo.

We can't lose, have a standing slab on the line every time manly play the dogs, keep me stocked boys I need no more lube of the other kind

Not much Weekes can do a fullback with a forward pack who can't make any metres, any offloads or gives a fu*k and a halfback who can't game manage or organise.

I hears ya mick.
I'm hoping for the sake of my standing slab Weekes enthusiasm and zest will rub off all week on the rest of them. That they realise 4 of them are playing their last game together and want to at least serve up something better than the past few "weeks".

 

[ricardo]

I am winning my 42 person work comp and I am tipping Manly Warringah to win. This is important ... don't let me down boys!!!

 

[Captain Moondog]

I hope they get motivated for the fans this week. Go you watery arsed legends.

 

[Disco]

Why is Des picking Foz, Davey and Walker? They are leaving, there is no point. Blood the youngsters

I think there is something to trying to finish the season with a win.

Just a little lift of the mood into the off season

I don't mind a big loss Friday to finish the year because Manly is in a poor state and this needs to be brought front and centre hopefully culminating in some brave decisions over the off-season. Things have to change.

But starting next year, round one, may the mighty new Sea Eagles ROAR

Saab's season went from bad at the beginning, to mediocre in the middle, and then some good games at the end. He gave the impression of really trying hard to develop his game though, and he is definitely worth persisting with next year as a starting winger.
