Game Day: Manly v Dragons [Round 20, 2017]

[globaleagle]

Mate, I am a Parker fan, but he has average speed for a centre and poor speed for a winger. Also he has played all his football in NYC as a centre and would have as much experience at taking bombs as @globaleagle .

Pfft, I don't take bombs...I deliver them! Truth bombs baby!

*drops mic*


*hurts toe*

 

[Fluffy]

Parker has shown he can take bombs very well for a centre in his games in first grade. Goes hard jumps high and takes the opposition out of the contest. His speed is not super fast and he is a centre not a winger but he is no slower than Wright.

 

[Danly Manly]

Parker is slowly regaining his previous speed since his injury.

He would still be faster than Wright i would assume. And he can also kick goals too apparently?

I can see him making a couple of line breaks today.

It's a 4 point game today considering the opposition . I'd say it's a MIGOTY. We win then we cement a top 8 spot and continue a top 4 chance. We lose then forget top 4 and we'll battle to stay in the 8. We better be up for this.

 

[Danly Manly]

This squad still has the potential to cut the Dragons to ribbons today.

I think the Dragons will adopt a fairly safe style of play compared to the last outing.

Manly by 13

 

[Danly Manly]

The NRL's script should favour us today.

I am predicting that we will win the penaly count.

Sounds like they were totally thrashed, and just scored some late consolation tries to make the end result look a lot closer. Pity. I thought this team had a good chance of going a long way. Wonder how Tent played?

I'm expecting the usual. Farcical refereeing decisions to the Goons coupled with some poor defensive lapses from us. This game will be an absolute joke. Goons by 8

No no noooo, you've got it all wrong. You see, a few weeks ago they scripted Penrith to "miraculously" beat us. Now they'll want them to complete the "ultimate" comeback into the finals, which can only be achieved if the dragons lose.

All jokes aside, we still have the quality and grit to win and to win well, grind them and their desperation down to come home with the 2 points after a 10 point win against the dragons

@The Who , you really are fascinated by him aren't you!?

You remind me of the bloke who went to see a psychiatrist and sat there involuntarily saying 'tee pee' and 'wigwam' over and over for 10 minutes. He then said 'what's wrong with me doc?'.
The doc said 'you're too tense!'

I can smell exactly that , and agree ( sorry everyone may get a few dislikes but have to call it as I see it) Goons by 8-12.

You remind me of the bloke who went to see a psychiatrist and sat there involuntarily saying 'tee pee' and 'wigwam' over and over for 10 minutes. He then said 'what's wrong with me doc?'.
The doc said 'yes, you're too tense!'

Yep. An oldie but a goodie.
I'm just hoping this bloke can be as good as he is big. I recall having similar thoughts when we signed T-Rex, and what a disappointment he was.
A bloke the size of Tent should be tearing Under 20 opposition apart, and I'm not seeing, nor hearing this.

This just got a whole lot harder
Blake green out
@Mark from Brisbane your 8-12 points dragons win seems small , 13+ for mine
Jackson hasting 5/8

Ok now i'm really worried. Good thing is i'm going into the game with low expectations, a win will be a major plus.

 

[manlywarringah]

Oh dear!

 

[HappilyManly]

NRL changes: Blake Green, Brenton Lawrence OUT (both rested).

Joey Lussick makes NRL debut. Hastings in for Green, Perrett for Lawrence.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Goons by 13 plus now

WTF is going on with injury, it's almost like TBaz has given up on the game so let's rest everybody and lose by a ****load!
