Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Round 26, 2024]

[Eagle 1]

He was injured, so could be giving him to the last minute to play if fit

Nothing mentioned in the injury report for 2 wks on Lawton, very mysterious.

Where is the other games thread? Is that a Global thing or is it a free for all?

Anyhoo, Cowboys suck

Watching the Cows game, the cheats were well in the game for a while, now the Cows looking the winners now at 36 - 24...oh well, we just have to win both games for a home semi, simples.

The more I think about this game the more I like our chances.

Crichton being out will allow Tommy to weave his magic.

DCE vs Sexton should be a complete mismatch.

Manly by 14.

I'd say we can very much win a finals game in Townsville against the Cowboys. We've beaten them there once this year and they looked a bit ordinary tonight.

While commentating the purple cheats v cows game, did anyone else hear what druggo Johns said about Manly? It was about 5 minutes before full time and I am pretty sure he said "Manly need to get their discipline right and that's through Simpkins..."

Former ‘Newi Vice’ lead, Andrew DonJohnson,*knows what he is talking about.

*The dyed hair, the t-shirt under the jacket. You know what it is.

I guess every game is an important one and you’d love to go into the finals on a roll but I think we’ve blown our chances for a 5th /6th spot as Cowboys aren’t going to be losing two games now that the Storm is sending their under 20’s side to Townsville.

Such a pity that last game , they’ll rue that loss above all during the year.

Just one more win and we’d have a home final.

Oh well **** happens I guess.

As pointed out by others - if we win both games, we must get a home final, as the two ahead of us meet in the final round.
But yeah, winning both games seems pretty unlikely, as we could not even ice a 3 try lead against the worst team in the competition.

Just needs some pastel clothes, designer stubble and a speed boat for the complete look.

Sorry, it’s the bloody NRL.com site that showed me the ladder after round 23?! It defaults to some strange places at times.

Yep, it's done that to me a few times too. It's bloody annoying.

Good question?? Who knows. Maybe Johns thinks Simpkins is a better option at dummy half?
