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

[ALinda]

Honestly don't mind Atkins, at least this year. Him sin-binning Tapine for dissent against us was really funny.

That was funny, he seems to have mellowed lately in our favour.

The refereeing last weekend was actually “ pretty good “.

Certainly there was more of just letting the game flow as it should.

I really hope that continues , and **** the broadcasters , they might want close games but if it’s not close don’t try and make it close !!

I was pleasantly surprised with the refs, I think there wasn’t any overly biased behaviour but the commentators on the other hand… couldn’t even hide who they had their money on if they tried.

Disgraceful, both Fox & Nine , I started with Fox , turned to Nine , both as bad as the other

Sea Eagles ready for semi-final showdown with Roosters

The self-belief and confidence is high and the mighty Manly Warringah Sea Eagles will be ready to fire at Allianz Stadium on Saturday night.

[ALinda]

Whilst they have some injured key players missing, we should remember they're losing key players like JWH, Keary and Suali and will want to do whatever they can for them to get through to next week's final (of course as do we). They'll definitely be more fired up than last week and we'll have to be more fired up too to defeat them.

 

[LeonardCohen]

If Radley plays, we need to run Olakau’atu at him at every opportunity. No excuses. The game plan should be to wound Radley and send him to the sheds for assessment. No ifs or buts if he manages to get through the game unscathed.

Yes but that's after running him at Keary and Sandon Smith. They've only picked boppers on their bench!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Correction, their entire side is boppers, except for the 2 halves!

It’ll be Crichton up against Ola.

 

[Once Was Brissie Kid]

Despite lots of adverts & graphics this week showing Manly in maroon vs Roosters in blue, Manly will be in away kit.

I know some of you thought I was taking the piss and on a surveillance mission but was at the ground again this afternoon and caught some training, even though it brought back some PTSD I thought I would send through a photo seeing as many you have been respectful and welcoming.
Turbo still wearing No contact Bib,Luke Brooks wearing no contact bib too don’t think he was last week when I was there.

 

[LeonardCohen]

I’m talking about a deliberate tactic to go after him regardless of where he is positioned on the field.

Wont matter because the Roosters arent even as good as those woeful mutts we beat up last week.

I'd suggest we might rest anyone not 100% fit as this will be like last week. Just too easy.

I’ve seen that before, keeping the halves in cotton wool at training, no use hammering brooksy all week on the training paddock.

[Dion Johnson]

Looking at the current starting packs I think we can come out on top in the first 20 minutes, the inclusion of Lodge and Guaca and with the Cheese not being available on paper they can win that early battle with 50% of the footy.

Hopefully the bench can match Spencer when he comes on..

 

[HoldenV8]

Regardless of who the Chooks are missing ... we take this game lightly at our peril.
