Game Day: Manly v Bulldogs [Round 23, 2016]

[andyvb]

The Bulldogs haven't been playing that well. Newcastle stuck it them and did well! If we keep last weeks aggression we will roll them

Well, it appears that Barrett has declared MIGOTY.
The stacking of size in the pack, (AFB to prop and Kapow 2nd row) is sending a clear message of all or nothing to me.
Hope the tactic works.

Isn't the Dogs chief scoring period the second 20 min? That is, after Kasiano and maybe T Williams come on to trample the flagging opposition.
Maybe Barrett's 'game plan' (does he even use game plans?) is to get off to a very fast start so the Dogs are stuck in catch-up mode. (Bit like they did to us in R1)

Last weeks aggression? LOL

The Daily Telegraph is reporting Myles and Parcell to come into the side.

Think this is unlikely. They are both list for Round 24 to return, and to be honest I doubt they would be fit enough to tackle this MIGOTY unfortunately.

They were probably both very close to playing last week. The injury lists are only ever approximate.

Bulldogs vs Sea Eagles

Bulldogs could have 1 change with Greg Eastwood getting close to returning from hamstring injury, if ruled fit he would start for Raymond Faitala-Mariner dropping back to bench with Fualolo, L.Perrett and Holland all dropping of extended bench. Sea Eagles could also have a 2 changes with Nate Myles and Matt Parcell both back in full training, I expect Myles to replace Addin Fonua-Blake in FRF and Parcell to come onto bench for Nathan Green. Sea Eagles welcome back Jamie Lyon who has missed last 2 weeks due to calf injury.

Is anyone going tonight? Last minute decision I am going I have never been there before where are the Sea Eagles fans sitting or will it be just be my family waving our flags?

[COMMANDER]

Not a lot of talk around this game, game day thread in normally in the triple figures by now.

Think the dogs will get us on the back foot and knowing our season is over we will crumble.

Having said that go Manly.

 

[Woodsie]

Not confident, but excited. I feel a stirring in the loins.

Go Manly!

 

[lsz]

Of our season is any guide we will perform a heap better than last week but not enough to win

 

[niccipops]

I have concerns but I'll be watching, hopefully cheering. Possibly crying and hugging a teddy.
I wonder how many new sack Barrett threads will appear if team 4 beats team 11 tonight?
Hope the boys have a good crack. GO MANLY!

 

[court83]

Hoping for manly win but expecting the dogs to roll us.. Dessy always has them up for manly games..
As long as either williame,dce or buhrer score tries im happy

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

We're going to hit the Dogs so hard they'll wish we were Mike Baird.
Go Manly!

 

[Fluffy]

feel better about this week than last week, the eels are always up for us and the weather was going to limit us and this week we have Lyon back.

 

[Harvies elbow]

Not confident, but excited. I feel a stirring in the loins.

Go Manly!

You talking bout the footy there Woodsie?

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

No changes to tonight's team, as listed so STILL no Parcell / Myles.
