Game Day: Manly v Eels [Round 1, 2017]

[HoldenV8]

Its a lotto(land) kicking to any wingers in the wet. Knock on's could be the order of the day.

 

[HoldenV8]

doesn't-matta won the coin toss and are kicking off. Manly will be running towards the Fulton-Menzies Stand in the first half.

 

[Woodsie]

Don't want to sound negative but I am a tad nervous about them kicking to our wingers in this weather! I guess time will tell if I am a realist or a worrier!

No, you are right to be worried, so am I ... and so will their wingers and fullback be nervous.

I am sure Jorge and Uate will cough up at least one bomb, but so far from the limited footy I've watched I have seen Tedesco spill 2, Jack Bird spill 1, Darius Boyd spill 1, etc. Also saw other wingers rush in off their wing etc.

It's all part of the game. If Jorge and Uate can win the kick return and 1st play the ball they will set us up for a good game.

Chez's first coin toss call.

Parra won the toss, so Freddy says to Chez 'which way are you running?'
Chez ' to Pittwater Road'
It was funny as he said he has no idea what direction it is, except that it's Pittwater Road

 

[Wombat64]

Well, Fuch 'em if they can't take a joke!

More reason for us to say it proudly.

Exactly if some stupid company is going to pay the club big $$$ to call it WTFland and it's still really called Brookie then the good luck to them. Who gives a ****?

 

[HoldenV8]

Manly home game so who does Nein do a feature story on......Brad effing Arthur.

Does that television network have ANY idea?

 

[globaleagle]

Where does Molson Canadian rank as beer, here?

I don't drink beer but I am reliably informed "it sucks and it's like water."

However it seems that Canadians seem to mock all their beer even though it is much stronger than Aussie beer.

I am .... under qualified (usual) in this subject!

I'm going to start calling it Lottoland just to piss them off.

 

[Bearfax]

Anyone got a report on Manly's Holden Cup side winning the opening game against Parra 38-20. Sounds a good performance. Also Blacktown Workers off to a good start with wins against Wests in the Sydney Shield 36-0 and Massey Shield 24-10

I think their last good idea was World Series Cricket lol

Well then it will be all the more sweeter when we beat the living daylights out of Parradoesntmatta.

I'm extremely nervous about our wingers, wet or dry, day or night, but I'll be pleased to be proven very very wrong!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

@Wombat64 , pleased you knocked the top of yours , I'm saving mine for later!!

GO MANLY!

 

[HappilyManly]

How much taller is Turbo going to be?

The opposition will mistake him for a goalpost

 

[hozza]

So pumped! Manly!!!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Can't be a 4pm kick off , it's only 3.00pm!!

Well it is in Queensland.

 

[HappilyManly]

Gus and Sterlo tipped Parra

During my time in Canada I enjoyed Kokanee and Rickards Red. I'm talking 1991, with an encore in about 95.

Jerseys look great. Just need to get P&O on board as major sponsor again😉

 

[Ryan]

**** me. I'm sweating. I'm nervous. My mouth is dry. This can't be healthy for me.

My missus has left the house as she knows how I rage. She's shut all the doors because she's afraid of what the neighbors will hear.
