[Jethro]

It's Game Day !!!

Go Manly !!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

[Dion Johnson]

Back in the eight tomorrow!!!

 

[globaleagle]

Gaaaaaame Daaaaay!


go Manly, it's your birthday....

 

[Disco]

Call me crazy.....And I expect a plethora of optimistic ratings but I have a feeling we win and win well today.

Manly 13+

 

[The Wheel]

Slay the dargon today

 

[jbb/james]

Massive game in terms of season

Dragons building off forwards and back 5 carries. Manly looking a bit skinny up front.
Ben Hunt looking to extend so the culture seems to be sky high. Flanno knows where we are weak

Nor great that brown is needing to start but good to see a different rotation. Would like to toy with paseka being a benchy to provide impact

We face a resurgent souffs next week. Havnt been embarrasesd by the last 6 weeks but results are underwhelming. Overdue , desperate and back at brookie on a Sunday on our side

Simpkins a wild card

Footy starting to get a bit better, mid season, all teams eyeing there own draw, much more desperation in every game. Tough teams standing up and winning ugly

Agree, and it's really unusual for a normal Goons team to string along 3 wins in s row.

Usually, the whips come out after SOO 3, bit like the Melb cup, coming into the bend and into the straight. Just got to position ourselves for that rails run home.

 

[stoodamire]

We need one of their centres to be ruled out early in the game.

Both times that has happened they have Gotten absolutely flogged.

 

[Rafferty]

Gee a win today would be good, thinking our forwards are in for a tough afternoon, the Goons pack has been playing well, they’ve been aiming up through the middle, we need this 2 points, come on lads seasons hanging in the balance.

 

[Chunkytuna]

another sell out at Brookie. Can’t wait to get down there. LETS FUKEN GOOOOOOO!!!!
MAAAAAAAANNNNNLY!!!!

 

[NREagle]

Cmon Manly, let's not muck around and just get the win, okay?

It's been too many years of feeling like we should be near, but in reality we are still so far away from challenging.

I want to go in to a match, confident that no matter who we play, no matter which players we put on the park, that we've got the 2 points in the bag.

Whilst that's not going to happen overnight, it's got to start at some stage, so why not today?

Sort the defence out, play that attractive attacking footy we love, and give that sold out crowd something to cheer about.

Go Manly.

Go Manly.

Just as long as Garrick doesn't keep crowding Saab against the sideline. If he stays in his own space, we may just have the chance for Saab to have some good runs without having to 'twinkle-toes' inches in from the sideline.

Where is Les Boyd or John Harvey when you need them!

Just sayin’

 

[Rosko]

Fair dinkum MIGOTY. Simply must win this, or it's another year wasted. Crowd fire them up!

 

[Under the Sticks]

Just as long as Garrick doesn't keep crowding Saab against the sideline. If he stays in his own space, we may just have the chance for Saab to have some good runs without having to 'twinkle-toes' inches in from the sideline.

And he actually passes to Saab!

I’m sick of his hogging at centre.

Nathan Brown says hello!

 

[Jethro]

And he actually passes to Saab!

I’m sick of his hogging at centre.

Agreed but when he does pass the ball to Saab, Saab only has about a metre width of space to do anything which cancels out any chance of Saab being used as a strike weapon with his speed.

 

[Ashton Davis]

Going to get to the game a little earlier than I normally do so I can get a great spot on the hill
