Pre-Game Cowboys V Manly [Round 18, 2024]

[Seagles68]

The Cowboys would be crazy not to target Turbo as well, given that he's coming back from a long injury lay-off and has only played a handful of games at centre. Expect plenty of traffic headed his way, wherever he lines up. And if Koula is our fullback, he should expect plenty of bombs. Not sure he's that confident under the high ball, so that should be interesting.

Oh thought I’d piss all of you off that are freezing your arses off in the east.

34 degrees today in Broome WA.

And this was sunset last night.

It was a chilly 8°c down here in Perth this morning, couldn't wait to get the car heater cranking on max.

Fair point, but two can play that game. Drinky won't out-jump Saab or Haumole.

This place is FULL of people from Perth , Mandurah & Bunbury.

Oh and a few Queenslanders.

He’d have 200 by now if he showed some discipline and had some injury resilience

So Chaddy has signed with the Rorters on a one year $300k deal, wait for it….as a mentor for Sam Walker.

We're gonna need his services this week

 

[DanielLehi888]

No excuses this week. This is one of the strongest squads we have fielded all season. We really need to utilise Lehi properly even if that means giving Tom a 20 minute early mark seeing that his match fitness could come into question after 50 or 60 minutes. We have an abundance of attacking flair. Players that really need to step up -

Tom - The time has come for him to go all out. If he has a future in Manly colours for next year and beyond he needs to give 100% from the get go.

Ben - Time to step up bro, I know you can do it

Koula - Use your speed dude, you have hardly set the world on fire this year

Garrick - Get your head in the game dude. Defence, defence and DEFENCE!!!

Saab - Where have you been lately? You are a shadow of your former self.

Brooks - Please have a blinder and play to your strengths

The Girls are favourites with the bookies , and the bookies are usually spot on.

No easy task this one , but as others have said the Girls have a patchy home ground record so it’s doable.

The bookies have this as the closest odds of the round. So make of that what you will.

Yes there’s not much , I guess they’ve made the Girls favs due to the home ground advantage.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Will need Sipley to have a big running game along with Bully, the Cows are the second worst team with tries conceded by middles..

Manly was also slight underdogs in Vegas and in our wins against Roosters Penrith and Melbourne.
So, the perfect scenario methinks
