Game Day: Manly v Dragons [Round 18, 2021]

[ManEagle]

We need the football to have a chance and I hope we are not refereed out of the contest. We do not have a history of getting the rub of the green against St George.

The ref's toucheies a bunker might also be p1ssed with the goons so we might just get a fair deal at the very least

 

[nightster]

Don't give up on top 4 yet mate ... might be unlikely ... but our run starts tonight ... win and we can do it .. lose, and we don't deserve it ... Rip in Manly!

I'd be happy with 5 or even 6 .... but Go Manly

 

[BOZO]

Team 1 wins.

Team 2 plays too many, backs and forwards, in different positions and completely changes the team dynamic.

My view Team 2 tweaks the team and improves the dynamics of the team

We have 2 dynamic players in Walker and Lawton in the positions they excel
We have the Garrick on the wing where he plays better footy
Harper was our best performer at fullback in a trial and was never given another opportunity
Des is a great coach but like all of us he has brain explosions . Funa at 5/8 against our loss to the knights is one example .


The next 8 games will decide which players stand up and shows us they are not only NRL players .They are also Finals footy quality players capable of winning the Grand Final and live up to our Legendary clubs High standards

 

[Chip and Chase]

Hunt is the key to their play, we need to be in his face all Night and cut his time with the ball in hand off, nullifying Hunt is key to winning, he can be prone to making errors under pressure

He schooled us in Round 3 on a broken leg. He's on a high from a dominant Origin performance. In the battle of the overpaid halfbacks who will win ?? There's the key to tonight.

 

[40 years an eagle]

Which team would win?

Des:
05. Reuben Garrick
02. Jason Saab
03. Brad Parker
04. Morgan Harper
18. Moses Suli
06. Kieran Foran
07. Daly Cherry-Evans (c)

08. Taniela Paseka
09. Lachlan Croker
10. Martin Taupau
11. Haumole Olakau'atu
12. Josh Schuster
13. Sean Keppie

14. Dylan Walker
15. Karl Lawton

Ryan:

01. Morgan Harper
02. Jason Saab
03. Dylan Walker
04. Brad Parker
05. Reuben Garrick
06. Kieran Foran
07. Daly Cherry-Evans
08. Taniela Paseka

When Keppie comes off, Croker slots into 9, Lawton back to 12 (or Burbo comes on).

How does "falcon Suli" get a start after last week?

The first one.

 

[Shoe1]

I was horribly scarred by the raider's game, and am gun shy about watching tonight.

Saints shouldn't be able to play, it is a crock.

They have plunged us into lockdown because of their bbq, and made all the teams have to move to Qld, probably forever. They have ruined Sydney rugby league and Sydney - thousands are out of work, 100s of thousands are being forced to do home schooling, and many innocent people are in the ICU because of St George.

 

[BOZO]

The first one.

We have to arrange a game between team one and team two at the end of the season and settles this debate once and for all 🙂

If we are to beat our hoodoo team the bbq Party boys tonight

We need to shut them down and show them what lockdown really means

And I suspect they were the first culinary terrorists to put pineapple on pizza !!

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

There’s 8 games 16 points left including tonight.
Parra are 3 wins and 6 points clear.

The run home
Rd 19 Manly v Tigers. Parra v Raiders
Rd 20 Manly v Sharks. Parra v Roosters
Rd 21 Manly v Storm. Parra v Souths
Rd 22 Manly v Parra. Parra v Manly
Rd 23 Manly v Raiders. Parra v Cows
Rd 24 Manly v Dogs. Parra v storm
Rd 25 Manly v Cows. Parra v Panthers

Hmmm, I can see 7 potential wins to Manly and 7 potential losses to Doesntmatta.

Optimism clock is now 5 minutes to 12 😀

 

[Rafferty]

He schooled us in Round 3 on a broken leg. He's on a high from a dominant Origin performance. In the battle of the overpaid halfbacks who will win ?? There's the key to tonight.

Well it’s time we schooled him right back with interest, origin is over now, so back to reality (st-merg, fuk that) with regard to the battle of the over paid halves his state captain will school him tonight, because SOO has motivated him to go on a mission, who the fuk boos their state winning captain anyway, thanks qld for the motivation, so we win on the back of a dominant DCE.

Hmmm there’s a lot of potential there, let’s hope the clock is working

Fairly certain there were some St George players on the grassy knoll in Dallas

 

[KaZa]

Could Funa come in at full back. Garrick and Parker back to their positions and Suli out?

Hope so.

 

[Will on the hill]

They certainly weren't in the book depository, unless they confused it with the cock suppository.

Hope so.

Possible but unlikely. Slightly better chance Funa plays wing and Suli dropped but not holding my breath.

 

[davohan123]

Well this sucks phone is very low battery and have no power for a tree fallen on powerlines in a street 500 metres away. Suburb Allambie heights

So I won't be able to watch tonight but will have to listen to the game via the old transiter radio.

 

[Mal Cochrane]

If you told me I had to put 1k on manly or dragons tonight, I would be alittle more comfortable putting it on St George.

DCE needs to own this game, drive the forwards, not just only play as well as your forwards let you rubbish.

 

[KaZa]

Possible but unlikely. Slightly better chance Funa plays wing and Suli dropped but not holding my breath.

Yeh me either to be fair. So many options I'd rather see. Don't see the need to move so many players to replace the one that is out.
