Game Day: Manly v Knights [Round 21, 2016]

[Mark from Brisbane]

Betting agencies doing their best to curse us. $7.50 for the naughts is ridiculous and 18.5 start.

I'm happy to put $50 on that and wipe my arse with it if we win!

Not surprised but gee I hate being favourite!!

 

[spantrav]

Me too. I will never bet on Manly for superstitious reasons and will quite often put a little bit on the opposition to "try" and dull the pain of a loss.

I doesn't work one little bit.

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

I have a mate who is a massive bunnies fan. He puts $50 on whoever is playing against the bunnies so he wins either way.

Lewis Brown named at centre again. Unbelievable!

Lewis Brown is so "HANDY"

Sadly I think the current Top 8 will be the same as the end of the year.

We need to win every match and for the Titans or Panthers to be beaten at least once by a team that they really should beat. They play each other in rd 26 so if we're going to make the 8 it will be at the expense of one of them. We also need to improve our F/A because it could well be the thing that decides 8th place.

Need a big win here, but also to be patient. Cronulla did that extremely well in the last match. Newcastle are pretty keen and won't mail it in, so if Manly focus on good ball control early in the halves and get a good % of possession, the edge should open up late in each half.
A 30 point win is possible, but so is a 10 point loss if they play stupid.

And don't go back to that old " over confidence " outlook from so many games against weaker sides in years gone past.

That is good as the panthers should be tired when playing us in round 26 as well having to play 2 games in one weekend.

looked it up and round 25 is the face off

 

[Utility Player]

careful. a bit like the game against Parra late last year.

No worries this year as all bets are off.

 

[The Who]

Anyone go to the Reserves game last night? Amazing that Newcastle are worse than us, but I'll take any win for our battlers.
Any reports on how our prospective first graders played, ie. Knight, Blake, Hopaote etc?

Injury riddled side running clear last against us with our tails up. To suggest an upset is in the wings is crazy.

Easy victory to the Sea Eagles

Can someone tell me what has happened to Mat Parcell

 

[Sheikheagle]

Not sure if it has been mentioned but on the news last night they mentioned Dylan Walker may be back this week.

Love the pepsi style jersey for this game and the added bonus of no green blob on the jersey this week!

I have a couple of those , originals that I wore to the 95/96/97 Grand Finals.

But still prefer the hoops.

But still prefer the hoops.

I got a new jersey just about every year in the 90's so I'm lucky enough to have a few each of the P&0 hoops, pepsi and even a few of the short lived FAI ones.
I love the hoops and pepsi evenly, fond memories of both
