Game Day: Manly v Cowboys [Round 20, 2023]

[mickqld]

So I'm split on this one which means I think it'll be a tight game. Both sides need the win but being at home it's more on Manly to win. DCE and Jake should be fine to backup so question will be on a few of the Cows. If we allow them possession and field position they will score plenty on our shaky wide defense. Lot depends on DCE kicking game and our defensive pressure on them. If we go out there up tempo like the Storm, Dolphins, Raiders games then we'll win. However I just feel the Cows have enough points in them to outscore us. Cows by 4.

So I guess another fair question to ask would be: are the Roosters really Cocks?

All I can see is an ocean of nodding heads ...

 

[NREagle]

We need to target Cotter defensively.

He played the full 80 on Wednesday and Peyten mentioned on abc radio yesterday that he ran for 3kms more than he does in an nrl match. Surely he'll get tired if he plays long minutes today.

The cowboys are Red Hot , we are either Hot OR Cold OR ****ing Freezing

If we aren’t in the mood it’ll be a stampede ( yes pun intended ).

Coin Toss is at 5.30pm

Did you sleep the night at Brookie?

 

[Seagles68]

Look into my eyes Tui - you're getting sleepy - now listen to what I say - STAY ON YOUR WING WHEN DEFENDING!!

Ok, that should do it. We're all good to go.

Todays game is once again the season on the line and a must win!!!

Will the pea heart forward stand up? Mr Plod woods in the side is still a disgrace, Hoping Matterson gets lots of time to show what he’s got!!

Lose this and it’s season over

Cows 1-12

As with just about every other game this season, we can win, but if we turn up disinterested then the Cows will put 30-40 points on us easily.

I just hope we don't have one of those games where it's over in the first 15 minutes because we make 5 early errors.

Nah, not ballsy enough

Cowboys by plenty… I think struggling to beat the reserve grade roosters infront of a home crowd last week spoke volumes… we shoulda won that by 20

 

[davohan123]

Well because of many many different reasons I have not been to a match at Brookvale oval in over 2 years even though living only 10 minutes away.

Well today I am heading down to a live match at home in my season seats.

I hope it's worth it

didn't we say the same thing when we played the Storm at Brookie. It's really hard to get a read on us atm.

This is true.. I thought they would flog us too and I was very surprised we showed up and won that game… and I will happily admit to being wrong if the same happens tonight.. but it’s hard to see it happening..

According to some, the chances of Manly winning a single game this year are a million to one.
But still, they come!
