Game Day: Manly v Cowboys [Round 13, 2018]

[stoodamire]

We've only won by 13+ margains this year.

So if we win tonight. It'll be a biggie

I'm confused.. Easily done I admit, but how can we Carry Tom Wright into a match a few weeks ago on the bench in a team that had Walker playing centre and Tom turbo playing fullback... Yet now, walkers injured, turbos got nsw duty, and Tom Wright can't make the 17... Makes absolutely zero sense

Makes sense to me.

Each week the coach is choosing who he deems to be the best player for each position against that week's opposition with an eye on moving forward with a balanced roster.

What anyone thinks a player "deserves" is totally irrelevant.

Im going against the norm for me normally and think we will do it tough tonight. Hope im wrong but without Jake Tom and Walker, our main strike power is gone . Hopefully Dce has a superhero game , because he's going to need to i feel.

1-17 jack starting frank to the bench
Tom w and Lewis are players to be cut

Some of the best Juniors are drip fed Agrade. Tamalolo was a good example. Coach might well have been more interested in how Tom responded in certain areas when he went back to Reggie's after getting a taste. Don't worry barring injury I am sure Tom will get games.

They always count the ticketed Members

Doesn't really matter, all I want is a positive 'for and against tally' each game

 

[HappilyManly]

Baz, please let Sipley play this week

Big boppers running at each other all night

 

[Mitch]

I can confirm it is absolutely freezing down here - plenty of wind. Similar crowd to the Newcastle match at the moment.

 

[SeaEagle21]

I hope we don’t play them into form, that Cowboys team on paper is still very good.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Just checked on my weather App “ feels like 4.2 degrees” seriously move to QLD it’s 15.7 here at present!!

Brave people those cheering them on at Brooky tonight.

 

[torana355]

Im surprised how confident people are, I think without Tom, Jake and Dylan we will do it very tough.

 

[BrendonStarr]

Manly 48 def Cowboys 6

Someone found this score funny.

I will revise it just to cover myself.

Manly 44 def Cowboys 12

 

[BrendonStarr]

Still wont be surprised if we crack the 50 tonight.

Manly to score 6 tries minimum, 10 tries maximus.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Sadly not going to this game despite being hundreds of metres away from Brookie Oval just 90 minutes ago (getting a bike from 99 Bikes). I have a good feeling about this one

 

[40 years an eagle]

This should definitely be a "middle" game for us as their backline is mostly intact.

Dominate their forwards an have the likes of DCE, Api and Ned ripping them to pieces.

Martin against Hodko !.....oh ****!

Come Hodko prove me wrong !!
