Manly - Top 8

[SeaEagleRock8]

Good point, but statistically around 1% chance

Who'd have thought? They always reckon winning is about the 1 per-centers but turns out draws are too.

Good point, but statistically around 1% chance

0.419% per game x 8 games = 3.352%

 

[Ashton Davis]

Crucial to win this week and next. Wins over the Knights and Titans will give us some breathing space before going into a tougher game against the Roosters

I dont know if we will win all 3, lose all 3, or a mix, but all 3 games look really tough to me.

 

[ManlyTragic]

Good point, but statistically around 1% chance

Does that mean statistically that we have more chance of winning the comp than a second draw?

 

[Will on the hill]

Because of all the byes whoever loses today will be the only team in the top 12 to not get 2 points.

Looks like I can't watch anymore games live. Been away on holidays and haven't watched live the last 2 games.

Keep on not watching. Your favourite club salutes your sacrifice.

 

[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.

Every game is crucial at the moment.

If we win this week we could be 5th. If we lose we could goto 9th.

 

[Sir Pigman]

Currently 8th.

 

[Disco]

Its starting to get spicy now. Not just for us but all.

Pending results we could add 4 teams to the Tigers/Eels season over pile.

Many playing for their lives.

If we beat the Titans and Penrith, Storm, Cows all win we'll be 5th and 1 point behind the Roosters. Setting up a battle for 4th next week.

Looking at the ladder does my head in. I checked today and was shocked to see that Canberra's first win in what seems like forever has them only one point behind us. Honestly, I can't be arsed trying to fathom all the possible permutations of who needs to beat who and how many points we'll need to make the finals. All I know is that we need to win, no matter who we're playing. Keep doing that and everything will fall into place.

 

[JBW]

I don't think we can underestimate how important a game tomorrow is. Chance to open up a legit gap between the teams battling for 8th.

 

[HK_Eagle]

I don’t want to look too far ahead. There are mouth-watering possibilities going into the bye, but Tits first. Get into it boys. Focus and one game at a time. We’ve shown we are capable.

Man, that Aloai brain explosion in the Wah’s game and the embarrassing capitulation versus the Raiders… 😖… what could have been right now on the ladder. Oh well, we’ve also had some good wins.

Man every time I look at the ladder and see us on an odd number I get filthy at Shaun Johnson. The way he carried on like a pork chop I don’t think I’ll get over it.

Well, Karma has put his cue in the rack.

Alioia was hard done by, firstly with the knee jerk reaction penalty and then to be suspended by the match review committee was a farce.

There have been many worse that have not even been penalties of late, it was all a reactive decision from the Lussick charge down on Ilias that broke his leg.

It could be worse... if Holmes didn't shank his 30-metre golden point field goal attempt in Townsville from right in front of goal with no defenders within 5 metres, we'd be another 2 points back.
