It's Game Day !!!

Go Manly !!!

Go Manly says
Go Manly

 

[globaleagle]

GAME DAY!!!!!​

Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy!!!!!!!

The season is here...the season is here!!!!!!

 

[The Wheel]

We’re back on! Fire up 🦅

 

[Buddy Love]

With the team they've chosen I'm expecting an outright spanking of the highest calibre. Unless it's pissing down. The only players they have better than ours are Robson over Tevaga, Nanai over Burbo and Cotter (sorry Jake) over Jurbo. They have a rookie half back as well mind you. Turbos gonna have a field day and I'm tipping a hoppa double and Garrick over 12 points 👉 (Unless it rains 😅) Either way we should win this. Go Manly good luck boys !

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

(Unless it rains

Lol, pretty sure there'll be some rain.
Hopefully just showers but we'll be snug in the Bob Fulton stand and I'll urge the boys on "Hey C'mon Manly it's only water!"
🙂

 

[manlyfan76]

MMMAAAANNNLLY

 

[Disco]

Finally we are back.

New season and clean slate for me. Let's get it boys!!

 

[Eagle eye]

As I said earlier in the week, we'll put 30 on them.....lets hope NQLD don't put 32 on us. Go Manly!

 

[Kalvin]

Curious is aloai and brown are injured or just not selected if any one knows?
Go Manly!

GAME DAY!!!!!​

Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy!!!!!!!

Starting the season off coming second to Go Manly by 17 minutes ... age catching up to you old mate?

 

[eaglebuzz]

Having that corrupt prick Gough as the ref doesn't fill me with confidence. Hopefully he favours us as the home side as much as he favoured the Tigers last year... If we are allowed to hold down in the ruck every single tackle whilst the Cowboys have three players sent to the bin for absolutely nothing, we could put on a big score.

 

[Buddy Love]

Deardon > Brooks

That's your opinion and I respect that.

 

[Waz13]

Deardon > Brooks

Not by much tho.

 

[Waz13]

As an aside, Dearden actually may be my fav non Manly player. Just reminds me of Tooves in the early 90s.

 

[Buddy Love]

Not by much tho.

I think Brooks will be even better this year

 

[Woodsie]

2 debutants today ... probably the oldest debutant pairing we have had .... let's hope age has not wearied them ... Congrats and best wishes to both ... they're Sea Eagles now.

RIP IN Manly ...
