[The '47ers]

Be a bit of a novelty for the Broncos, most of them would never have played at Brookie.

Not expecting much today really. Can’t feel positive about it all. Will still be going to the game to cheer them on. At least the weather is nice.

 

[Dingo]

Oh man… had a dream last night where we absolutely smoked them. And Usher was the referee! 🤣 Dreams are very funny sometimes

Woke up feeling happy with the win before quickly realising. I’m ready for tonight to be much more disappointing than my dream.

All I can ask is that we just rip in tonight and look like we are at least trying our hearts out to turn this place back into the fortress we claim it to be.

Whoo Hoo ...... can't wait...

Yep, the Fortress is always better than the Sand Castle with the latter being what we have seen quite a bit too much lately.

Our middles need to have a huge game, especially Aloiai and Lodge (I'm assuming Bullemor will go well), because if our forwards play badly their backs will absolutely smoke us.

Do our forwards EVER have a big game ??

Not sure that’s in their DNA.

 

[BOZO]

Toss a coin

Think the Dollar Chaser will need a big one to retain his QLD job , and he’ll want that as it involves extra $$$$

I Think our other Dollar Chaser needs to earn is worth at Manly next season as well feathered friend

Wonder which team is turning up today?
Will Dollars pull his finger out tonight to save origin career?

Lets hope our Other Dollar Chaser will pull his finger out and play for Manly like he does at Canberra

Agree Dollars needs a final origin pay check prior to signing with the chickens and retiring from Origin

Our other Dollar mans final pay check will be at Manly as he will turn 32 years of age when he turns at Many for his 3 Year Dollar Deal

Drinking Rum and Coca Cola
Fogarty left his team mates at Canberra
Leaving for the Manly Dollar

 

[BOZO]

Speaking of Dollars
Lets Hope Seibold earns his Dollars and Gets his Team up
Gets his players playing overs and over performing
GO MANLY !

 

[ALinda]

At least our home game vs Broncos is actually at our 'home'...about time. This is the one positive I'm clinging to for tonight. Also glad to see Aloiai is back to strengthen our pack.

I won't be in my beloved Brookie seat (flying back from Darwin) but maybe it's just as well?

Anyway hoping my heart will win but logic dictates no Turbo no win. Go Manly!!

It’s the same sized field .. right?

Just sayin’

You will be there in your Manly spirit feathered friend
Because Home is where the heart and soul is .

No Turbo but we Have the Majestic and Maturing Lehi
Logic does not Dictate Winning
Because many a times the favorites Lose
What Dictates to Winning is Passion
The Winning coach will be the one that lifts his players spirits .higher than the losing one

What’s the bet the Donkeys target Daly and why wouldn’t they, at 36, 2 games in 4 days, I’d have my side running at him all night as well and they have some sort of pack to send at him too. I don’t buy in on the Donkeys are a mess, they may well be unhappy with Madge, but if they turn up and want to play, look out.

I watch all their games with the other half and trust me buy it Rafferty, they are a mess. They have one win in their last 6 and can hardly score points. Their attack is worse than ours.

Not saying they won’t come out and beat us, but they are not a good footy team right now.

 

[BOZO]

Seibold must take advantage of our sacred spiritual home ground and the highly spirited Manly supporters who will be Cheering for a Manly win
This is our Ground
This is Our Crowd
This is Our Day
This is a must Our must Win

Now This Dollar Chaser Bozo the Clown must get ready his over night $hift

Enjoy the Exciting build up to the Manly Game day feathered friends
And the Climax of a Manly Win against the other Maroons
Manly were the Original Maroons back in 1948
We need to teach those copy Cat Maroons a Lesson today

 

[MissKate]

A lot of donkeys supporters in the pubs down the Rocks

 

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

So two horribly inconsistent teams and two worried coaches walk into a pub...........

My suspicion is the Broncos if they can manage to get their heads screwed on play a simplified middle game, overpower us there and defeat us. But really who can say with any level of confidence??

We are going to get smoked tonight
Never have a seen such an insipid bunch of players who don't care about the club
Dollar cost eagle needs to put in tonight
4 in row defeats at home not on.
Broncos by 30 if they are switched on
