Game Day: Manly v Broncos [Round 10, 2021]

[Blake]

Score more points than them and we'll win.

Failing that, we should aim to make them score less points than us.
Its a crazy idea, but hear me out....
Ok, after 80 minutes we will have point on the scoreboard, right?
Now, the Broncos will also be looking at having points listed on that scoreboard, but what we want to do is have our point higher than their points.
For example, Manly 22 Brisbane 8
or Manly 16 Brisbane 10

Bad example, Manly 12 Brisbane 14
(FYI, this is a bad example because, against what I have discussed above, their points are higher than our points)

I hope I haven't lost anyone in this technical explanation...

Of all the things that make me nervous about tonight's game, it is the 5 day turn around and having to travel interstate. I expect us to start slowly.

We haven’t travelled any further than the Broncos this week.

Broncos coach Kevin Walters is confident his team can handle the red-hot form of Manly star Tom Trbojevic as stats reveal the Sea Eagles fullback is creating big plays almost every six times he touches the ball.

“He is a great player but we just have to limit what he can do with our defence, we need to work hard and just do a good job on him.

- nicely thought out plan. Good luck.

Kevvie is a smart guy he'll prime his players to be alert for the sneaky move that sees Tom bursting through on our right and linking with Saab.
So I expect Garrick to be our top try scorer this week, for a change we will have Tom lurking behind Foz or Schu and cutting the Broncs to ribbons over that side instead, haha

You are right that the Broncos also travelled, but they did get an extra day of preparation.

Surely this game is a gimme ... surely ... rip in Manly!

Surely this game is a gimme ... surely ... rip in Manly!

How is it a gimme? Surely a gimme??? The desperate Broncos have been playing really well lately. They almost beat Penrith there a few weeks back. Broncos have more representative players in their side than Manly and are at home. We will have to be right on our game to come away with a win.

It's a gimme because Des will coach the pants off poor old Kevvie.

I don't take anything as a gimme...

cetainly not when we are playing Broncos at Suncorp and especially when we let the Warriors put 30 points on us last week...

 

[manlyfan76]

I hope Dani levi gets on early in the first half.
Other than that I'd be happy if Garrick kicks 7/7 tonight.

I was trying to work out your response and then realised that you had replied to me rather than @manlyfan76 lol....

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I'm nervous. I feel an ambush coming.

Yeah ... after the past 12 months ... I was being facetious ... bet seriously ... it has to be a gimme ... right?

Skynet is due in 2029 so hopefully we are not far away from having clones that can attend to our social 'duties' whilst we sit in the mancave watching Manly...

My clone watches the footy while making me go to the social functions.

Damn bully.

Careful Manly guys...

beware the falling into the tackle bronco

"blow that whistle, ref"

The NRL has implemented an unprecedented crackdown on foul play with players and coaches warned players face instant sin-binning for any contact with the head of the opposition.

In an unapologetic response to ridding the game of foul play, the ARL Commission has declared that from tonight’s Magic Round opener, the game will be officiated under never before implemented rules that includes:

- Direct or forceful contact to head is sin bin at a minimum

- Indirect or forceful contact, possible sin bin

- If contact is minimal, then penalty and put on report

The policy has come directly from the commission as the game confronts the worrying issue of concussion and head knocks.
