Oh look, it's game day folks. Go Manly!

MMMMAAAAAANNNNNLLLYYYYYYY!!!

 

[Danly Manly]

5 games to go. Manly can still turn this around and enter the finals as the form team of the competition.

It all starts today. A win against 'Easts' will erase our recent nightmares and give us the confidence and momentum to hopefully achieve 5 wins on the trot heading into the finals, and possibly even top 4 if we can get a couple of big wins in the process.

 

[HappilyManly]

It's Retro Round, hence 'Easts' is the Team Manly needs to beat up

 

[Danly Manly]

Here is why we can still make the top 4 if we win all of our games from here on in -

Next week - Broncos v Sharks, Roosters v Storm, Cowboys v Panthers

Rnd 24 - Cowboys v Sharks,

Rnd 25 - Broncos v Eels, Sharks v Roosters

Rnd 26 - Cowboys v Broncos

And throw in a possible upset or two and we could very easily be right in the mix if we just keep on winning starting from today.

Good read in the Tele today on dylan and Api . Have a great day silvertails and enjoy the game , Weve got this....

 

[madmax]

Great read about Api in the Telegraph today. Am i missing something? I didn't know that Brown went thru a similar thing recently?????? And here we are constantly bagging him............I feel horrible!!

 

[The Wheel]

Zorba sound confident this morning unlike the last two weeks.

 

[Fluffy]

Nice sunny day should be a good crowd

 

[Danly Manly]

If i am to make a realistic prediction, and considering that the Roosters have the 3rd best defence (Their attack is pretty much on par with ours), and assuming that Manly can get back to some of their earlier great form i would say - Manly 16 - Easts 14

Dont feel horrible mate, Brown shouldnt be in first grade and thats the truth. He has been poor at manly ever since we signed him, and if the off field stuff is effecting him he should be given a rest. That sounds very harsh but in all honesty its the truth. Lewis is a great bloke though and i hope he can become stronger from this.

Game day and I'm pumped! What better way to get our season back on track than a Sunday arvo game at Brookie against Easts in retro round. Today is make or break as our season has hit the fork in the road. I believe our forwards will stand up today and knock the door down. We need our second phase today!
KARN MANLY!!

 

[Eagleheart]

Going to the game today with my beautiful Mum who has not been to Brookie for years and years, can't wait....!!

Wish the boys all the best today and hopefully they can come out and be competitive. And maybe just maybe, they can do enough to get a win, which would be incredible of course.

Have a great day fellow Silvertails.....!

And go the Mighty Manly Sea Eagles......!!

Yes mate not good . I dont think any of us knew about this , poor buggar.

 

[Deleted member 26876]

I've resisted from biting my nails all week, thought I'd need to save them for this game. Should be a thriller, however I'm tipping us to beat them 12-10 in a low-scoring bruiser of a game. We'll be ready for this one, the boys will be firing to go.

 

[Disco]

Yep, win today and we are still a shot at top 4

Lets go boys!!!

Brown's estranged Dad suicided.
Sad all round

Glad that Api has found his grounding with his new love and little daughter

 

[Danly Manly]

We really need our boys on the bench to play out of their skins today.

Perrett in particular has the size and skill to really make an impact if he can get pumped for this one.

I can see Lussick rising to the occasion now that he has regained his match fitness and got a couple of his brain snaps out of his system.

Hopefully Wright gets back to his earlier form, and players like Kelly and Winterstein run some more smarter angles.

We need more of a 'rushing up as one, up in their faces defensive effort today. None of that hanging back flat footed **** that we have seen over the last 3 games.
