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

[Pete W]

Roosters have a lot more strike and experience than the Dogs, and won't self-destruct. We'll need to be better.

We'll need to be a lot more dominant in the ruck, get out of our red zone more effectively, and increase our line speed by a few notches. But a win is certainly within our means

Bay 32 so close to the Manly bay....nice

We’ll win this one too , it’s the game after that we should worry about.

Nah, the better the opposition and the lower the expectations on us, the better we play. I think we may have played our gf already against the dogs. Watch us get better and better on the way to an unprecedented and unexpected premiership. 😉🌈

Beating the Dogs and Roosters in the same finals series. How good would that be!

It's time for 2013 GF REVENGE Manly.

This is going to be a tougher game than the Dogs, they toweled us up last time didn't they? Similar to how the Dogs pack dominated us?

The Roosters are a solid team even without their injured players, I'm confident we can win but also wouldn't be surprised is JWH/Collins comes out and gives it to us. Anyone else agree?

 

[Briza]

Chooks won't have the defence of the Dogs, but which Manly side will turn up?
If our defence is on, we'll flick the switch and Roast the Roosters.

 

[ManlyTragic]

We’re in bay 33

Between bay 32 and bay 34

Just sayin’

 

[Bradza]

We’re in bay 33

Fat fingers, that should be bay 32!

 

[mickqld]

Dogs had won 4 of last 5 finals against us before Sunday.
Rorters have won 4 of last 5 games...

Question:

If Jason Saab is available this week (they did say Week 2) ... does he get selected straight back onto the wing?? And if yes, who drops to at least the bench??

 

[HoldenV8]

We'll be going in with pretty much a full strength team, even if not everyone is at or close to 100%. There should be no excuses against the depleted Chooks who only get back JWH.

Tricky one as I think the attack with Saab on the right wing brings in attacking kicks and early shift to utilise his speed.

Thought Ciraldo kicking to Hoppa we didn’t get the best out of Talua’s strong ball running on kick returns to get the set of six off with good momentum.

If all available Saab should play, who misses out would be extremely unfortunate.

Madman JWH will be pumped up and will come out swigin'. We'll probably get a few penalties and Maybe a sin binning to boot from him.
