We just need to maintain consistent pressure all year.

I'm getting pumped for this season ... can't wait

 

[Woodsie]

If we do the one percenters 50% better we will be premiers....

Anyway....sports "journos" writing us off is simply an opportunity to re-publish their old articles with the dates changed.

No big deal.

Didn't you say that last year?

If we can constantly deflate the opposition , we will be well on our way for a big year.

The boys seem to be on a michelin this pre-season, no stone left unturned, no bridge left to cross (think about it), they will leave the rest of the comp kumhotose.

Very good. I think that you have probably got it all tyred up as the winner .

Every year the media writes us off.

And every year ( well almost ) we surprise them all.

2018 won’t be different!

I like the look of our forwards now (with JT), and with potential from Sipley, Paseka and Olakauátu (please give him a nickname!). But significant question marks in the backs - unknown 5/8, Walker serious injury, two wingers who can't catch a ball.
Definitely more confident of 8 than last year, but top 4 looks very optimistic.

Guacamole???

This could be the start of a revolution.

This is getting tiresome.

That’s so punny

Your falkern kidding me

In all seriousness, I can see a few teams shakes up the comp a bit - Dragons being one and the Tigers will give the eight a real crack.

A few teams will jump out of the blocks in the first four rounds and the usual media suspects will claim them as premiers only to see them miss the eight when it counts.

We will take a step up from last year (major injuries aside).

On paper the Storm and the Cowboys should be well in the running again this season but Manly were quite competitive for most of the match time against the Storm and accounted for the Cowboys last year , so no reason why they can not match and even better these forecast front runners . It could be unpredictable again as usual and for Manly there is always the Dragons minor hoodoo to overcome but as long as Manly can stay in the mix there for that important top four finish , they could pose a real threat at the business end .

When the rubber finally hits the road for the Sea Eagle's 2018 campaign , i am sure that they will be on track for a Good Year [ couldn't resist wheelling that one out ]

2016 for reasons unknown to most humans with brains - predicted Manly top 4? What the?
2017 due to 16 results at least - predicted 12th, finished 6th.
2018 - written off! - Premiers!😀
Who knows?
Go Manly!

Depending on injuries this should be our 2006 season, and possibly approaching 2007. Much depends on 5/8. If Croker or Hastings make a success in that position and injuries treat us well, we have the young future stars mixed with a couple of old heads like 06-07 to move up into the top 4. If we are hit with injuries we could slip from the 8, but if the football gods are with us I see Manly at 3-6. I picked 5-8 last year
