Cowboys should win BUT!!!

Dunno , maybe our team turned a corner the last home game.

I’m really torn on this one

Sadly I’m with you , and think we’ll get reamed ( which will be bloody sad ) the only hope we have is their SOO players are more tired than our SOO players and with it being away they let their guard down a little.

Slim chance though , I’m expecting it be something like 36-12
Getting beaten would be bad enough. Can we skip the reaming though. :sweating: 😵

Starting to think you some kind of fetish happenig here? 🤔😜
 
Manly need a minimum of 4 tries to Win
Physically need to at least match the Cows pack, who have size, skill and speed....
If they get too much momentum, will be impossible to stop and allow their slick backs to run amok, but hoping for an ugly grinding performance to stop the Cows fluency, as attacking weapons everywhere
Truth is, if Manly want to sneak a finals chance, need to find a way to get the 2 points on Saturday.
 
No excuses another must win game, but realistically we are 2 to 3 wins behind the 4 teams above us. I think we are little to no chance of playing finals without Turbo. Unless Schuster unlocks some miracle turn around in his efforts but going on our stuttering attack against a very under strength rorters last start I think the Cows will have too many points in them for us to catch.
 
For comparison, the teams from last year where Manly threw the victory result in the trash bin.
