Good point . Their pack is known to have a glass JawWe can totally win this game. That pack is not near what Cronulla has. Attack them in the middle and stop all the sideways crap and we can get the points.
We should come out and bash them

Who are the we that turned on DCE ?I really hope the squad haven't turned on DCE the way that we have, because they really need to have an excellent game to win this one.
Chee Kam is a handy bench player. I'd be happy to see him in our top 17 as he covers a lot of positions.Updated team list 1 -17 , Chee Kam 18th , Joey Walsh 19th so far . 1 to be cut before kick off
How far away is Aloiai? We actually need him back. Man I never thought I’d say that!
That sounds about right, however, I would have picked Tom's season ending injury to occur in the first few minutes of Game 1.Tom to score plenty in a stunning turn around of form. Picked for origin. Plays 2 games then has a season ending injury in the first few minutes of origin 3.
Quite sad really when we're looking for Aloai to return to be our saviourWe can totally win this game. That pack is not near what Cronulla has. Attack them in the middle and stop all the sideways crap and we can get the points.

Cotter not playing as well.In hindsight, I'm not reading too significantly into our last losses, aside from the Melbourne loss. We have dished out some utter crap against the Sharks and the Dragons in recent years, and it just happened that 3/4 of our last games were against them. Also had some garbage scheduling, and the DCE leaving novelty.
We will be better against the Cowboys. They physically cannot roll through us without Taumalolo. We will still have long term structural problems, but we beat them with a similar pack up there last year. Cotter isn't as strong this year either.
What interests me, is that both Purdue and Duffy have been given the opportunity to debut in the halves against us. As a Manly fan, I hope it goes the same way for Purdue as it did for Duffy, but as a Fantasy player, exact opposite lol.
I think Walsh plays next week. Judging by tonight, he'll be up against a Moses-less Eels. High probability that they don't have Lomax either, unless Turbo has an (unlikely) blinder.
Wouldn’t say saviour, but he improves our middle quite significantly.Quite sad really when we're looking for Aloai to return to be our saviour
Well, I'd be happy to have no bye's at all after coming of the great Penrith win and then the bye.
Sometimes it's good to be battle hardened, rather than having a pause after a good win.
On present form, Turbo is unlikely to play originAgree, and I'm expecting them to step up as it's in their best interests to, particularly with origin teams being named after this round. They've both publicly said they still want to play origin so you'd think they'll want to put in a much better performance than their last game. (Not that I agree for different reasons with them still playing origin at all).
In Turbo's case he'll want to play well to prove his fitness, which will be interesting.
Hate is a bit strong. Footy has always been powered by the loyalty and passion of temperamental fan bases,all of them craving success with expectations that the coaching staff will improve the team and deliver consistency. When a team does not achieve that year on year improvement towards excellence the supporters will eventually demand change. The buck has always stopped with the coach.
That's rugby league as it ever was.
That's all it is.
Yes, he didn't make the horrific amount of mistakes in the first half against the Sharks (who are heading upwards on the ladder). We made improvements in our attack but couldn't sustain it.I really hope the squad haven't turned on DCE the way that we have, because they really need to have an excellent game to win this one.
Wow, now Croker due back round 14, that's over half the season gone.Round 12 apparently.

NRL Casualty Ward: Manly dealt double blow; Moses out of Origin series
Manly's Haumole Olakau'atu is facing an extended stint on the sidelines after dislocating his shoulder, while teammate Jazz Tevaga has been placed in the head knock protocol and Mitchell Moses is set to miss the rest of the State of Origin series with a calf injury.www.nrl.com

Check the Official NRL Casualty Ward, which players are injured, and who is expected to make their way back onto the field and in the game.www.nrl.com
Think they'll pick him, he's like Mitchell, a big game player.On present form, Turbo is unlikely to play origin
If we decide to take it through the middle of their pack I think we’ll get on top and win well. If we try throw it round early we’ll get done.Best of luck today Silvertails
This years matches are won on momentum.
Show up with heart and grunt and they will be able to knock over the Cowboys, they do not have a good record against Manly in Townsville
Look forward to it, Manly to win for me
Heart and grunt are two things we haven't seen much from Manly this season. You'll only see that in your Doggies games🙂Show up with heart and grunt and they will be able to knock over the Cowboys
Need to get some old school Manly legends in the sheds to fire them upHeart and grunt are two things we haven't seen much from Manly this season. You'll only see that in your Doggies games🙂
The Doggies have recruited to achieve that mindset, by the types of player they want.Need to get some old school Manly legends in the sheds to fire them up
I've seen Terry Lamb in the sheds with the Dogs addressing them
Need Cliffy or Choc in there
And most importantly be proud of the club your wearing
