Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

[maxta]

I'm not sure which is the right side 🙁
Sounds dumb but pretty sure commentators sometimes refer to the right as the left because it is the right of the opposition. Eh, whatever 🤷‍♂️
(to me Manly's right side is the one with DCE, Haumole etc)(obv)

Manlys right edge is the way you see it, DCE and out......and they should have joy tonight, provided they can win momentum middles first to create opportunities, not just shift like the Eels game before winning the ruck

Just heard that the $1.5 million man Ponga has not scored a try all year.

Let's keep it that way.

Just two in a row. That’s all we ask. Is it that much to ask? Surely not. Please. 🙏

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

This is just the kind of game, where we’re expected to win and win well, that we have made a habit of losing. But surely not this time, right?

 

[Wombat Junior]

Not saying I enjoy the negativity but I get a bit worried seeing all the positive and hopeful comments on a pre game thread because we normally end up getting smashed, I've watched every single NRL game in full this year and if the knights beat us, we are an embarrassment of a team. I could go down and watch an under 8's team dish up a better performance than the knights have this year.

GO MANLY!
Don't ruin my weekend and don't make me have to listen to commentators remind me all weekend that we lost!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Lol, yea quite possibly.
On the other hand they did thrash Souths... and Penrith, just 2 weeks ago! Might be a bit Jekyll and Hyde-ish, like Manly?

MANLY by 30!!!!!

Maybe because the expectation is now that we will cock up and lose an easy win game, we will defy expectations and just win.

Didn’t we say that last time? And the time before that? And….

 

[TJ55]

That is an absolutely pathetic stat if true !

Oooooo! The old reverse, reverse, reverse, reverse psychology trick. Clever buggers!!

Hang on, how many reverses was that??!!

 

[eaglebuzz]

Sometimes I really wonder if our guys are part of some kind of elaborate match fixing syndicate, given how often we lose when we are favourites and win when we are outsiders.

I hope they just get out there tonight and get it done.

 

[mickqld]

The fact that we're all panicking about blowing another golden opportunity to move up the ladder will ensure a win tonight. We won't fall into the complacency barrell this time. The Knights are putrid and our backline will run rings around them. Forwards will aim up ok. Manly by 14.

I wouldn’t blame him. More pathetic halves/playmakers.

It matters nought what a bunch of no nothing numpties think is going to happen. All that matters is what’s going on in the heads of 17 blokes in the away sheds in Newcastle.

 

[Rafferty]

Yes, yes, we win, because Newcastle can’t, they suck, poor old Pong can’t even score a try anymore……..with pretty much half a reserve grade side I’ll be disappointed if we don’t put 50 on them and keep them scoreless, reading all the confident threads has got me pumped to see us flog the drug cheats and kill the MacDonald Jones bad juju, let’s go…….Manly by 1 will do me.

 

[Nike]

If Daly wants to keep getting that SoO money he'll step up big-time tonight, he has to.

 

[Eagle eye]

I'll be at Optus Stadium tonight to cheer on the Socceroos against Japan.
Go Manly and go hard!!

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Time not be inconsistent time to put a few wins together and that needs to start tonight
GO MANLY
