Can we beat a top 3 / 4 side?

[madmax]

Last season we won 50-18 and 46-18.

Both games the cowboys in front (12-0 and 6-0)

The first game we won at home, without Turbo, Garrick got one of the tries of the season single-handedly with a kick-retrieve becoming a busting full-field solo OMG-a-thon.

2nd game won away, Garrick setup the try of the year after the buzzer for a 110-metre blinder through several hands, giving Turbo a gift after his own break-15-tackles-solo-try heroics.

Long story short, Garrick to star in a big win for the Sea Eagles with the Cowboys facing serious stage-fright in the face of the bogey-team that combo'd them 96-36 last year.

Agree mate....not much difference in the teams from last year. If we play as a team we'll flog them again.....I believe the boys can emulate last years result(s). I'm not convinced about the Cowboys yet. Yes they're an improved side from last year but to me that matters jack$hit....we are still better. Things have not gone our way but I believe we've turned the corner. Looking at our draw I'm excited we can win all of our remaining games! Optimistic yes but anything is possible.

No we cannot!!

Nope we can not.

Sadly the answer rhymes with "blow" and "low!"

My internet crapped out with 8 minutes to go, came back with 1 to go. I nearly cried. Its a cruel game, I went to the fridge for a beer and was staring at the one's at the back, when the child bride walked in and said " the ovens on the other side of the kitchen honey, that won't work".

The answer to the question in the title is we can, but we choose not to.

 

[Spartan Eagle]

I guess we can....but just

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Yep, I can now definitively answer this question: barely.

We have proved nothing on tonight's win.
4 day origin turnaround for Melb, their 2 main players out and we playing at home.
Storm won't play that crap for the rest of the year - yet we let in 4 tries in the last 5 minutes.

Truly embarrassing

We haven't beaten a top four side, but we did beat a top two side 🙂

A win is a win.. so yes.. yes we can… but f$&k me we make it hard on ourselves..
that last 5 minutes was truely embarrassing…
On the flip side tho, I had money on pappenhausen and olam to score tries so my tipping fund is pretty stoked with that last 5 minutes

I think a few of the Manly players had similar bets 🤔

Get what you're saying but no way Felise Kaufusi is in their top 5 players..

We won against Melbourne get over yourself, I don't care if we were 100 up and only beat them by 1 point, you are so full of yourself

 

[Karshy]

We beat Melbourne. Melbourne are 2nd. This post can be retired now.

So glad you are happy with the win and how we won it. Personally I hold Manly to higher standards.

Possibly lol
It was dreadful defence..

I only make small bets but had money on manly to win, paps, olam, olakautu, koula and Garrick to score tries so I’m pretty stoked that almost all of those got up

So glad you are happy with the win and how we won it.

The doomsdayers appear to only be happy if we loose!
The negativity is a cancer.
