Pre-Game Chooks V Manly [Finals Week 2, 2024]

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

Yeah, that is the danger. Great signs last week, but our side has not shown yet it can produce two weeks in a row.

I prefer to think of it as we haven’t produced our best footy for a while so look out chooks!

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Word on the street is that Sam Verrills is heading back to BJ.

After the way they treated him last time, in their pursuit of Smith, why would he contemplate that?

 

[Once Was Brissie Kid]

Last week Manly went into camp for a few nights & had a run on the ground at Homebush a day or two before the game. They said it really helped. Wonder if doing same with the SFS game.

Seibs will be on the big sports breakfast 7.40am.

A lot will turn on whether the ref polices the 10 well. They tend to go early and if they are permitted to get away with it they will suffocate us.

Thanks for heads up Wheel - some things of interest;
Siebs to re sign for 2 years
Turbo feeling better this week than last
Sounds like different game plan for chooks - a lot more ball movement

I just realised...
it's MIGOTY

Really looking forward to the challenge: Tolutau Koula

Tolutau Koula breaks down his game-winning try against the Bulldogs, shares his mindset during high-pressure moments, and looks ahead to the Roosters challenge this Saturday.

Not sure why he would TELL them that...

Really have to tighten up that early defensive structure in particular , settled down reasonably well eventually against the Dogs [ last 2 tries pretty much from lucky kicks ] but Roosters just that extra bit of attacking ability to cause problems if given the leeway .
No reason to think that whatever attacking measures Manly tries and as long as they complete well , should have points in them and be able to trouble the Roosters .
Manly have shown that their defence can aim up against quality opposition and some quite aggressive defence at times last week and here's hoping they can continuously pressure the Roosters across the park tomorrow night

The spine is where the Roosters are weakest, thanks to the injuries. Keary is having an average year, and Sandon Smith didn't have the best game either. Watson is a passable hooker but a much better utility.

They are beatable, but yes it's crazy that they can field such a strong side even with the injuries that they have.

 

[Once Was Brissie Kid]

Roosters will 120% try to do the fast start that Storm and Penrith did last week.

These teams all try to win the game in the first 20 minutes with a knockout.

They all think they are Mike Tyson.

Survive the 20 minutes blitz and fight it out over 80 minutes.

Manly needs to go the distance. Manly needs to be Buster Douglas.

As you all know I don't rate the Roosters at all.

They have massive issues right across park, including 3 or 4 blokes who simply don't want to be there.

Their biggest weakness, as we all know, is their kicking game. A 12 year old can kick further than Keary.

Hoping both JWH and Radley play, that will be 5 penalties we get and 5 restarts.

Teddy is the danger, wrap him up and win.

They might beat us but I just don't rate them.

I’m hoping Radley plays. He will be a defensive liability with that busted shoulder. Tommy would only make 4 tackles a game so he can get away with it but Radley making 40 tackles will really test him.
I would be getting Hmole running at him all night

It's a narrow focus on the Roosters: Anthony Seibold

Coach Anthony Seibold reflects on the team's growing confidence and improvement, the great support of Manly fans, to getting off to fast start against the Roosters.

Hope you're right Bob. However, I suspect they are a little better than you rate them.

Also, we should have Ola and Tent all lined up to run over Keary defending on the line.

Let’s go 🦅

Looks like no camp for the boys this week
