Manly - Top 8

[Sir Pigman]

We have gone back into the top 8.

If Roosters win we will move to 9th but thats as low as we can go this round.

The week after we play Panthers away.

After that I don’t mind our draw.

Come on Canberra!

This week doesn’t matter now. End of next we’ll be in the 8. Into Penrith who I think we’ll beat. Then a bunch of ordinary teams and another bye. Tight comp but we’re always a show.

Edwards, Yeo, Too and Martin may play origin, my thought is Cleary will back them up, Jake, Guaca, DCE and Tent a chance for origin.

 

[Red Baron]

We should be 1st.

If we didn’t blow our leads to Dolphins, Raiders, Warriors and Eels we would be on 21 points. Sharks are on 20 points at the moment.

The difference between the teams that believe and the chasers

Seems to me we lose the games against the lower sides.

I hate our draw after Panthers game.

Out of the 8 but 4 clubs 1 point in front of us.

this happens to me every time, if its a top side and I think we are going to get flogged, we win but if its a **** team and we should flog them, we lose. It's more scary playing bottom 8 teams then top 8 teams.

1/2 a win better than knights and raiders in 7 & 8 too (and cows in 11th) with a better f/a than all 3 of those…

the bye is gonna do us the world of good during origin too… not perfect but not terribly placed at this stage…

… but I read a thread on here that said we are a bottom 6 team !

I’m confused!

The NRL is a joke with 2 points for a bye totally distorting the table 😡
Surely the table should only be based on wins !!

So in the first round the team that gets the bye is coming last! That’s not fair either. It’s not their fault that they missed out on playing!

Just sayin’

It is irrelevant whether you get two points or no points. Surely everybody can work out a points table simply by checking if a team has had the guaranteed two points for a bye, or not.

Ah yes !! …. But what about the for and against ???

Just sayin’

Just sayin’one Advantage of getting a draw is for & against isn’t that important unless you end up with same points as someone else who had a draw.

That narrative will reemerge from the usual suspects after the next loss. You know the ones that barely register a post after a win.

 

[double hoops]

When you beat your competition for the 8 it's more like 4 points than 2.

Rd 15-19.

Vital stretch.

Our defence the last 2 weeks has improved we’ll be ok from here on.
