Game Day: Chooks V Manly [Finals Week 2, 2024]

[Ben]

The refs have put the whistles away for the finals.

Regular season games are officiated differently to finals games and SOO. Expect a fast free flowing game. Could possibly play into the roosters hands with their quick line speed not getting pinned.

Could also open up the field for our edges to take advantage.

Will be a cracker game either way!

Radley is still in their squad of 19 and is expected to play

Put a bloke on who fracture his scapula recently - hmmmm - I'd like to see him try and tackle Paseka, Lodge and Hamole. Time to make that recent fracture really hurt.

odds dont paint a positive picture for us and theyre usually pretty spot on..

Agree , but it is finals & they can produce different results

Is Koula marking Manu?
Keeping Manu quiet will lead to victory IMHO

Very good player Joey , him & Young will be very hard to stop.

This is a real challenge for us tonight , win and we are a deadset chance next week.

I’m confident , but the bookies odds show us as no chance.

$1.56 vs $2.43 implies we have at least a 30% chance of victory, in the eyes of the bookies.

Tony Squires on MMM reckons if Manly play their very best we will still get thrashed and the Sports Bet guy agreed. Would love to prove them wrong!

That seems about right. Hopeful, not confident.

What were the odds for last night, how accurate were they?

 

[Ashton Davis]

Watching this game high up from Bay 430. Where eagles fly

 

[Rosko]

What were the odds for last night, how accurate were they?

About the same, I think.

 

[Ashton Davis]

I watched last night’s game live with my best mate who is a Sharks fan. It was true that the whistle was put away last night. Also all 7 tries of the match were scored at the Northern end in line with where we were sitting. Was great viewing

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I’ll be watching on from Margaret River WA tonight , hoping for a great performance from our guys , but win or lose I’m proud of where they’ve come in 2024.

…. Or a 70% chance of losing ?

Hmmmm depends
GO MANLY

 

[Eager Beaver]

Games like today really worry me...
Everything to play for, a close to full strength manly side Vs a very injury hit roosters... It's a game manly SHOULD win easily... We SHOULD put plenty of points on early then cruise to the finish without risking anyone... But games like this are games manly usually lose ...

All this talk about them having lots of injuries. Other than walker and smith they are full strength. Their backline is full of current or former origin/internationals. God only knows how they are under the cap

I believe thats how it works, unless we give 110%.

 

[Will on the hill]

Hmmmm depends
GO MANLY

Wow, I knew we'd done well as underdogs but 100% is crazy.
