Manly v Canberra. Pre-Game discussion. (Rd 4 2018)

Bones like chalk.

Ata Hingano and Joseph Tapine replace Blake Austin and Liam Knight on the bench for Canberra this week.

I think you will find austin has come in for sezer who has a back problem.

Manly 97-0

I was close in week 2!

But I think we have a good team, the 40 degree heat is outta our system, ironed some bugs out this week and will be ready to rock and roll.

Go Manly!

You're one of those damned optimists aren't you GE?

 

[Chip and Chase]

Can't see the point in naming him at all if they don't...except as injury cover between now and thursday.

Gives him a little confidence boost to say keep doing what you are doing, you are in the mix. Makes me wonder why we ever bothered signing Jono Wright if with all his NRL experience he can't get on an extended bench

Gosh Austin has fallen from grace

More likely fallen out with Sticky. He did have a bust up with BJ Leilua last year so I think there is some friction there. Maybe he isn't hurtin bad enough for Sticky's liking.

D'oh! Ok, I just got the info off nrl.com but you are more up to date!

You're one of those damned optimists aren't you GE?

Nah, just a realist!

 

[Paw93]

I can't stand Austin, but I can just about guarantee he will now play a blinder against us.

I'd be more worried about Rapana. He's the one guy in their team that can single-handedly win the game for them and he came 1 point away from it last year. Cotric is also one to be weary about.

 

[Paw93]

Nah, just a realist!

So basically a unicorn on Silvertails.

 

[ricardo]

I really feel for the poor Raiders, it’s not their fault the world is against us! We will snap them in half and show the NRL we are very angry and hate them (NRL) too.

Agree.
Watched CH9’s 100% Footy on Monday night. Gus Gould believes Manly’s SC fallout is bad news for the Raiders, says it will fire the Seaeagles up. I’m hoping so.

 

[manlywarringah]

At least we’ll be able to see if this team can embrace the siege mentality that has been so strong in our teams over the years.

Some of these new guys from other clubs probably never realised how much hate is out there for us.

After this week, they should know.

Go get ‘em boys!

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Tough game but I can see a win , If TB can show he is up for it saying that he wants to stand up and show the leadership with DCE needing a better game I can see us circling the wagons and getting away with a good win

 

[Mals]

Bones like chalk.

Speaking of @bones where has he been lately? Self imposed ban from Silvertails?!?

You need that every now and then.

 

[stoodamire]

Man our 2-6 is average looking

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Speaking of @bones where has he been lately? Self imposed ban from Silvertails?!?

Bit of a lost cause sadly , hates everything to do with the place since they sacked 2V.

We are FB friends and he’s constantly posting funny but not funny stuff.

I laugh at it, he’s a bit of a comedian and he’ll eventually come back!!

 

[Sea Eagle 4 Life]

Hey...we beat Canberra in a GF! Who knew??

Gee that Cliff Lyons guy went ok. If JT is an immortal then he should be as well!

We bombed about 6 tries in that game. It should have been the first 40 - nil GF.

 

[maxta]

Manly to win well
Wright 2 x tries....not 80m solo tries

 

[Cliffymagic]

I just assumed Matt Wright was in his 30's and just an old safe veteran. But he is 27 . Should be in the peak of his career setting the backline on fire!!!. Just too slow i thk for a back these days. Should hit the weights and gain some bulk and be a forward

 

[Eagles2nv]

Yeah its looking like Austin and Williams in the halves.

Austin on the reserves is just sticky playing games with Sezers injury to keep us guessing.
