Game Day: Manly v Cowboys [Round 14, 2021]

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Kurt's debut was headlined as:

Des hands 105kg beast NRL debut as Manly

Beast!

Have a great debut de Luis

I'd feel better if said beast wasn't shown with a ciggie in his hand while he was standing outside a courtroom , or even if he wasn't standing outside a courtroom in the first place, but here's hoping he gets the job done!

 

[StuBoot]

Hate to be a wet rag, but I'm seriously concerned for the Sea Eagles in this one. No Turbo...arrrggg. No Schuster...aaarrggg. They have been our two attacking weapons when we were winning so well. Good to see Burbo there though. Hope he gets some time on the field.

I understand that but you'd like to think that Foz and Walker have been training for thisthe past week or so knowing Turbo wouldn't back up.
But then again, they had an off season too apparently and we know how that turned out.

I expect to see us on 16 competition pts by 7.50pm tonight. If not then all hell will break lose on here and it won't be pretty. No excuses, no ref f**kups, this must be a win. Losing is not an option.

 

[globaleagle]

Have they pulled a shifty yet and Tom's playing?

Any other un-injured origin player not backing up?

Is it my goal to ask three questions in a row?

Penrith resting everyone except Martin and Api. Must be nice to already have enough points to make the top 8.

 

[globaleagle]

3 hours!

Get those snacks ready

 

[wombatgc]

From all reports he should have incredible staying power and ought to last the full 80 minutes. There have been some concerns about his ability to finish however.

Are we still talking footy?

Speaking of ref fukups. From what I’ve seen of Adam Gee this year, he seems ok (still a c@nt), but falls well short of Captain C@nt Cummins.

What time does it kick-off in your neck of the woods GE?

I thought Cummings had been promoted to Major

That’s a bummer. Still we could’ve ended up with the second game.

Probably has. But my one rolls off the tounge better imo.

[davohan123]

we are going to have to play a game like the warriors game up at Gosford tight tough footy with making the cowboys finding it hard to get out of their half of the field.

DCE has to not over play his hand.

 

[HoldenV8]

Well, another ex-player gets a media gig.

Brett Morris retires yesterday, today he's part of the Fox League pre-game show. Although I have to say he already sounds better at it than Thurston or Lockyer ever have on Ch.9.

 

[manlyfan76]

I think Garrick is the better option at fb

 

[Supreme Leader]

What a nice touch grand kids putting the jumper and ball out the middle and a flag at half mast.

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

Hoping here we don't get a GEE UP

Though I'd much rather see Dylan Walker at centre than Moses Suli. With Suli out there and no Turbo, Saab is going to catch more colds than balls putting him into open space.
