Rd 18 vs Roosters ( away ) Rd 19 vs Souths (away ) Rd 20 vs Penrith ( home ) Rd 21vs Parramatta ( away ) Rd 22 BYE Rd 23 vs Newcastle ( away ) Rd 24 vs Souths ( home ) Rd 25 vs Bulldogs ( home ) Rd 26 vs Storm ( away ) Hate to look too far ahead , but it's interesting to see that we only have 1 appearance at Brooky in the next 6 weeks. If Manly are any hope to finish in the top 4 , it's essential that they win their next 4 matches. These 8 pts plus 2 for the bye would have them well placed. We have a pretty good run home with a bye & 2 matches against Souths. Away matches to Knights , Eels & Storm will be tough. Parra Stadium hasn't been a happy hunting ground for Manly teams over the last few years. Now that the Rep games are over , Manly need to find some form leading up to the finals.
a true semi final contender will get 8 if not 10 points from our next 5 weeks, this weekend is vital, it will either give us momentum or we will go into the souths game after 5 losses and heading for 5!
