[Will on the hill]

Given the attack and defence of both sides I wouldn't be surprised to see 70+ total points in this one.

 

[Ashton Davis]

Have a good feeling about today. Glad this one is being played away from wet Sydney

 

[davohan123]

I don't post much these days
Its the debut of the dark mode thread tonight !!!!

On a more serious note our season goes online the tonight in my eyes

With our draw after this all games in Sydney apart from one trip to Canberra and cowboys having like 6 more home games the winner tonight in my mind will make the 8 this year big call but that's how I see it.

Cowboys win they go three points clear of us with 2 byes to go

I don't care how but we just need to find a way to win tonight end of story

Come on Manly if you want to play Finals footy tonight is the start of our run!!!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I’ll be at the Broome Speedway tonight , it starts at 5.30pm ( 7.30pm QLD time ) so I’ll record the game and see how we go.

Enjoy the night everyone , we could really do with a win to both , keep the Donkeys & Cowboys at bay , but mainly to lift some spirits on here.

But never easy , in the heat , in Townsville , so , fingers & toes crossed,

 

[Eagles4Life]

Sea Eagles by one will do me. Go Manly.
