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

[pjayz]

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

But still prefer the hoops.

Agree - I never liked the Pepsi jersey, I know others do, I just never rated it. Wormald and P&O jersey's all the way for me.

any jersey we won the title with is a good looking jersey in my eyes.

There are a few others like the big eagle one that also look good.

Yes, love the 50's style eagle in the middle of the jersey.

I hope we win by so much that Newcastle start looking for another coach.

Don't be surprised to see Walker in the team.

 

[Andrew..]

Don't be surprised to see Walker in the team.

Will they risk him ?
I understand every game is do or die for us but it will be a big call against a team running last, unless he's 100%.

Was hoping this would be the case... Any mail or just a guess?? I noticed his brace or strapping was removed the other night and thought maybe he is close ! A sunday arvo game with what could be one of our stronger lineups, looking forward to it!

Dunno. But I am pretty sure they don't want Brown in the centres.

Weak mail and an educated guess.

I have also heard that Issac John might be an inclusion but I don't believe it.

They are not the only ones.

Hmm they must really not want Brown at centre if they're willing to shift Lyon back and play John.

 

[HoldenV8]

Reports I'm reading say that Matt Parcell will have a fitness test before Sunday's game so he may be back. Whether he'll be on the bench or starting at hooker I don't know.

I have one of those. Bought it from the leagues club on the Friday before the 1996 GF 😀

I also have a 1991 jumper (P&O) that my aunt bought me from the leagues club. I managed to get it signed by Fatty.

I think Issac John may get a run (also a guess). He did not play Wednesday night and is not injured. Maybe Killer goes back to the centres until door fighter comes back.

John was taken off with concussion last weekend, that's probably why he wasn't out there on Wednesday.

Manly just need to play simple footy and focus on building cohesion 🙂

Both halves left the field last weekend

Really hoping Manly don't come out of the blocks slowly, taking it as an easy win before the game starts, making it a far tougher game than need be.
As Cronulla found out last week when they tried to play too pretty in the first half , often shifting the ball wide early before dominating the middle....the game became a contest & you could see Newcastle could smell it....
Second half Sharks played far more direct & ran with more purpose & the points flowed off the back of it.

Personally see a win between 30 - 40 points, as the side is building good momentum....but only if the intensity is there from the start.

Just saw on fox sports were 4th in metres gained this year.

Will need the halves to convert a dominate forward performance this week.

That really bodes well for the future.
