Pre-Game Cowboys v Manly [Round 25, 2021]

[BOZO]

No next Wednesday , constant battle now but I’m on top of it ( or should I say the skin Dr is ).

Happy healing feathered friend

If, while Manly are in Townsville, the Covid issues worsen in QLD and they will be unable to move from the Townsville area, what happens? And where do I sign up?

Yes big risk. Relocate the fukin game to Suncorp now so I can go watch it Sat night. Will be in Brisbane anyway. Our wedding anniversary dinner but I can blow that off surely for a Manly game

Like a Townsville cowboy

Go the Manly Sea eagles !!!

The numbers indicate we are indeed Cumstains most hated team. But surprisingly our win rate when he refs is only 11.1% below our average across 55 games.

 

[eagleron]

He was the ref in 2018 when Turbo got his face smashed and had to get those plates (the ones that got bumped a couple of weeks ago)
Perenara was the video ref. We didn't even get a penalty!

Sounds about right, neither Perenara or Cummins have ever been good to us, both have shown extreme bias against us for as long as I can remember, fkn grubs

I don't want tom rested, even if eels and roosters lose, I wanna see tom get that dally m.. it's going to be close, and if he sits out 2 of the last 3 matches, it will almost definitely go to Cleary or Walker and that would be an honest to god shame as tom has been the best on field hands down all season.
I understand we don't wanna risk him, even just play him the first 50, by that time he likely scores a few tries, sets a few up, gets 2 or 3 dally m points and takes a 30 minute early marks...

In the last two matches, Manly's attacking shapes were poor. A possible cause for this was lack of punch through the middle. I think Des will want this rectified this week with the return of Paseka & Keppie. If there is a comfortable winning margin, it is likely Turbo plus a couple of others will be receive 'early marks'. However, coming off a good win last week, the Cowboys should be up the game - they have try scoring potential in their backline.

To me, the Cowboys are kind of like the Tigers.
They'll try and play football which leads to errors and then try to play catch up from every set leading to more errors.
The games we lost against the Knights and Raiders was due to them being desperate to complete their sets without really throwing too much at us, kind of like the Bulldogs, high completions to limit us.
The Cowboys won't be able to help themselves and we should get plenty of ball in good field position.

The way Tom is playing, I don't think he wants to miss any games. He's riding this big wave, and he doesn't want to get off. Daly M for Tom is so fitting !!

I assume all Silvertails would love to see our team emulate the Eels!

Spoiler

By defeating the Cowboys & Storm in consecutive weeks

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

They were very very ordinary last week v the cellar dwellers , we need to give them an absolute shellacking this week but it ain’t going to be easy , nothing to lose , nothing to play for other than pride and in front of what will be a huge home crowd.

Jeez that’s a recipe for disaster.

I wouldn't worry about it, Chooks are no chance tonite and the Eels chose Brad Arthur at half, they've already given up.

I can't think of anyone else that deserves it.. Cleary got ripped off last year (well, so did gutho to be honest), i don't wanna see the hands downs best player in the NRL get robbed for a lesser player for the second year straight .. toms numbers speak for themselves, and unofficially, the way he dominated origin on-top of the NRL should make it a 1 horse race by a mile .. but this is the dally m, will prolly go to someone as unspectacular as wighton again... Maybe tedesco

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I smell an ambush.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Well this IS looking it’s MIGOTY

If the Rorters win tonight we MUST win on Saturday

Well Cummins now becomes a major factor

We are going to have to play well Cummins wants his beloved easts in 4th.

Well now we have win easts are no friends of us tonight.

 

[Kalvin]

I prefer the mentality of our team now knowing they have to win, I think it works in our favour!

 

[Disco]

Glad Roosters won.

Want us full strength and focused.

Touch up the Cowboys and build some momentum
