Yeah, I couldn't believe how many pathetically bad offloads they threw directly to a Sharks player. Had me seriously wondering whether they were losing on purpose.

Funny Gus taking the piss out of BFB, "yeah he gets his run up from fence, charges out, then falls over when touched" Words to that effect.

Fortunately neither are theirs.

well it will be one of the two for Qlds 7 so maybe that will be sone incentive for dce to play well. We know playing for manly alone ain’t any.
So did I, in fact it was a much improved game, and effort from him.
Still gives so many 6 agains away every game, him & Jake give 4-5 away every game

I'm no Blurto fan, but this is not true
Yep he has been good in all regards the last two games. Perhaps he got a rocket.

Cowboys are or seem to be in a much better place right now then the Sea Eagles so can only hope that whatever mindset and awareness factor that enabled them to get the better of the Panthers recently can reemerge .
Not sure of the merit of starting with Bully up front and Tavega at 9 and the makeup of the bench but guess can only again hope on the positive side that it can work out and particularly with the bench rotation
Cows halfs are going to be a real threat and certainly need Brooksey and obviously D C E to perform at their best level accordingly . Must still be some level of professionalism and club and team commitment in his make up; [ D C E ] Seemed to regularly find a higher performance level somehow at S O O level so surely within his capacity at club level again
Was also hoping and half expecting that Turbo could make a critical difference against the Sharks but to no avail and if similar this week , going to lessen their prospects again .

Manly will win this.
The teams are reasonably similar (Cows have actually conceded more points) and the big difference is...Manly is more desperate.
Only thing that can stop us is the officiating, we need to be pretty smart about that.

I think @Jethro sent him the Manly error list on which he tops easily.

Wish i could share your optimism but after a poor first month [ and don"t watch their games ]but Cows have apparently been quite consistent since then .
Manly , all over the place form and consistency wise since season 's start
Really do not think they can get the win if D C E and Turbo can not step up but guess that the effort has at least been there for the majority of the side to date so that is a plus and completion rates right up there as well on their better days
Yeah he has been terrible but has improved last couple of games.
That’s what I (jokingly) meant. The jethro’s list has made Ben go sheesh, better improve!
And he has.
First thing he reads after a game 😂
Agree, 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.

With Hunt’s injury,DCE is a definite Origin starter,so I wouldn’t be backing him to bust a nut this week,much like the past many.TomT on the other hand,is fighting for his spot,so I expect a big performance from him,if he’s not carrying yet another injury
Sea Eagle 4 Life
Bencher
QLD will not drop their captain, no matter how bad he is playing at the moment.
If he wasn't going to be picked, Slater would have already told him (out of respect) so he could tell all that he has retired from Origin football.
