Game Day: Knights v Manly [Round 12, 2021]

[jbb/james]

DCE could be in Origin preservation mode today

12 weeks straight

Does Funa have any history at five eight?

He's listed as a fullback, winger and centre but perhaps he's played some fiveeight in lower grades for us?

Big game for Chez. Got a lot of organising and controlling to do in attack. One of his flaws that was exposed in the first month of the year is how much he overplays his hand and just runs like a headless chook and makes dumb plays. So it's vital he simplifies his attack, which he's been doing for the last few weeks, whilst also staying in control. Also need to provide a hell of a kicking game coz he's the only one except maybe crocker who can kick. He shouldn't go back to the first month of the year where he feels like he's the only playmaker in the team and he has to take full control and carry the boys. That's when he starts playing bad footy. Big game for Chez. I trust in him.

I think Dce should be OK as long as he has his handy "sidekick" turbo at the back!

NRL Physio reports 1 to 3 weeks for Schu if confirmed as a minor lower leg injury. So most likely back after Bye, or the week after that.

good thing is that we are getting a few back after the Bye with Foran, Siro, Cust, Walker and possibly Guaca available.

First 20 minutes crucial today more so than ever.

Knights being so desperate at home , if we can start strong and the knights start poorly we may break them early but if say it's only a 2-8 point lead at half time either way knights would be hard to be beat from there.

Very interesting game this game has now become. All week I was confident us by 13+ but now us by 7 will be enough for me.

Anyone know who old mate was talking to the team in the sheds (channel 9).. wasn't des... unless he's shaved his head and gone grey?

Don't think so.
Croaker, Lawton and I think Harper do.

Mal Cochrane was the player in the sheds talking to the boys

are you even a manly fan or just a smart arse flog. there would be 12-13 clubs that would have him as their half back. nothing like pay packet envy champ

noticed he legends emblazoned on his shirt, so guessing an ex player... couldn't pick him though

 

[davohan123]

Even with all our outs we should be too strong for the knights

If we can't beat the knights then we don't deserve to be playing finals footy.

This is a 4 point game for us today.

The boys go hard get the win and rest up next weekend with the bye.

 

[nightster]

sound the alarm bells!

i don't think anyone saw funa to 5/8th coming...

It’s either a Des masterstroke or a brain fart

 

[The Royal Soup]

What happened to the Shoe?

 

[eaglebuzz]

Eeewww very ordinary looking bench.

I don't mind it, realistically only Saddler and Sipley will see many minutes the way Des uses the bench.

great player. 1987 premiership hooker and a handy goal kicker before the club signed snoz o’connor

 

[grassy]

Go Manly rip in and get the win. 11 of us here watching on the big screen with Eagle Rock blaring through the system. Go Manly.

Manly fan , check
Smart arse, check
Flog , for other to decide.

Pay packet envy lol. Havnt had a job for 15 years due to being a house dad. Maybe he is envious of me. Most guys are.

Ill take your word for the clubs that want him
