Manly - Top 8

[Captain Moondog]

Well, I don't want to be accused of positive toxicology but at least we're not Parramatta.

 

[Sir Pigman]

If Dragons & Cowboys win we are out of top 8

If Dragons & Cowboys win we are out of top 8

If the Cowboys lose I hope it doesn’t make them too hungry for a win against us especially if it’s at their stadium. Penrith usually tend to make teams who they beat better the week after their game. We have to win most of our games now.

If Dragons & Cowboys win we are out of top 8

Fate and Fortune Favours the Resilient Winning Ones that do not have rely on other teams Results

The road of resilience and self reliance leads to Premiership winning Glory !
This is what we play for . This is what we live for !
There is no other way
THIS IS THE MANLY WAY!!!

Heading that way. Cows down us next week we could be 13th.

 

[danny-boy]

Out of the 8 again but it doesn’t matter we just need to win. Can’t hope for other results to go our way.

The loss of 3 points to Canberra and Shaun Johnson are unforgivable and may cost us a top 8 spot.

 

[Disco]

1 win between 4th and 12th.

Comp is great this year.

*likely to be 5th and 12th after this next game

Cowboys match shaping up as so vitally important

 

[mave]

Comp almost seems artificially manipulated to keep things as close as possible.

The also have 2 byes to come the cowboys
Next week is such a vital match I don’t see us making the 8 if we lose next weekend just other teams starting to pull away from us,

 

[Bringbackcliffy]

Add in that dragons game and you have the difference between 6th and 12th. Sadly we aren’t good or consistent enough to go on a run of victories to compensate for those losses. Another year of learning. Crazy to think the highest paid trio in our team will have played for almost a decade with virtually nothing to show for it

And brooks wait for finals footy will have to wait another year

Yeah, we're already at the point where we not only need to win, but we need other teams to start dropping points as well. Who's going to fall out of the eight as it stands right now? The Dolphins and Dragons are probably our best hope. And that will be the variable we can't control in the "win six from nine" equation. There are other teams in the same position as we are, and they will do all they can to win as well.

I'd be less concerned if the following week we werent without our Origin crew.

Knights will be tough without our troops

The distribution of all the Penrith talent has evened up the competition somewhat.

More proof that our skewed salary cap ain't working?

Dragons game is factored in

 

[Ashton Davis]

There are a few leads that we have let slip this year but we would have only needed 1 result right now to have us placed in 5th. Going on with the job against the Raiders would have put us in front of the Dogs right now

Dogs, Dragons, Cowboys and Dolphins can all easily drop out.

Hell, as unlikely as it is I wouldn't rule out Sharks stumbling out.

So many so defeatist, we are right in it.

 

[Waz13]

Need to win at least one of next two. Non negotiable. Comp is tight. From here u til the end teams will come in and out of the 8 each week. We just need to keep with the pack and time the run home well. We’ve lost the same amount of games as 5th and win the same amount as 13th. A good run of wins cements us in the 8.

Hope you're right coz it would mean the ref will will help us win next week to keep us in touch. Go the ref!
