Another good game in NSW cup and NSW cup was missing some forwards this week. Make him the 14.

No, make him the 9.

You can guarantee the nrl and nein will not allow the golden slime to get flogged live on Friday night. This will be heavily ref /bunker clown managed in their favour. What should be a 30 point flogging to us will be down to 4 -8 points either way.

Not if I and the rest of what will hopefully be another massive home crowd, have anything to do with it. I'd implore everyone on ST (and your mates) to get down to Brooky and make your voice heard. We saw how much it affected the game when we played them last at their home ground. Well let's make sure we return the favour.

 

[Chunkytuna]

Not unless you want to give away a penalty & be suspended for a week , although I guess you can rush up and act like a clown waving your arms around and as long as you don’t touch you should be fine.

I get the whole “ protect the kickers after they’ve kicked deal” but bugger me the NRL make it hard these days with all these new rules.

They'll most likely outlaw making funny faces or waving your arms about, soon too.

Wow...another sold out Brookie again. We'll just ride the wave of support from the big crowd fot a big win on Friday night.

...and I'll still can't work out, as a member, how to redeem a ticket. The membership team is going to get both barrels tomorrow.

We have an important 5 game draw going into our first bye. These next two games are back home at fortress Brooky with potential sell out crowds against teams that are both missing their starting halfback and arguably most important player, so no excuses there.

Dolphins are playing well but matchups wise, we are still superior so have to win that. Then the next two with Broncos and Melbourne are tough but I reckon we can snatch atleast one of those, most likely Melbourne at Brooky.

4 out 5 going into our first bye and origin period would be massive.

Like it but I have learnt to worry about the next match every week

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Be a lot of "honesty sessions" going on out Parramatta way given that their coach accused his players of giving up against the Dolphins and being part-time footballers. So it's almost a good thing our win against the Titans was so scrappy, because there is no way on Earth we should be over-confident and not realise we need to be better. I'd love to see us put in a dominant performance, but will settle for a win that doesn't involve the opposition scoring 30 points.

Arthur has lost the dressing room. If we put 50 on this sad and sorry mob the Manly curse could strike again.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Seibold just needs to verbally gut kick his team into gear.

I would love a shut out , surely we are due for one

 

[Mac Man]

Time to put the Slime to the Sword as a loss to these bludgers is not going to be acceptable given our forward pack is the strongest it has been this season as per the bench.

 

[Kalvin]

I'm either expecting a big reaction from the eels & this makes it a dangerous game for us.... if not and we flog them - Arthur is goooone!

 

[madmax]

With Sipley & Brbo still out, we should go
Paseka
Croker
Aloiai
Olakau’atu
Waddell
Jrbo
Res: Lawton, Lodge, Brown, Bullemore

 

[ManlyTragic]

We seem more confident this week about beating Parra than we were last week beating the team coming last!

Just sayin’

 

[Waz13]

One thing I'll say, is put pressure on their kickers. I've noticed we've been giving space and time to opposition kickers this season. Actually, CAN you put pressure on the kickers anymore? Bleh, I don't even know anymore.

Not in the warriors game we didn’t!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Should be an interesting TLT tomorrow

 

[eagleron]

That’s a good boost to the forward pack getting Aloiai and Brown back next week.

We're gonna need them mate, the squeels will be hurting after that crap last week, our defence will have to tighten, we can't afford to play touch again or we'll get burned

Yes yes yes!!! If you watched Dophins game, they molested parra up around the ruck. Unfortunately Croker just gets the ball and passes. Need GCKT and his dangerous dummy half runs.
