[manlyfan76]

If our forwards gain the upper hand we should run over them.

 

[Waz13]

tough one for me as my 10yr olds a knights supporter. If they win the niggle I’ll receive from that little pest will be ten times as bad as Tyson Gambles best niggle. For my own sanity we must win this game.

 

[globaleagle]

Go Manly!​

 

[globaleagle]

A 9pm kick off for me as well so I guess I'll be here!

 

[Go manly]

Go manly says
Go manly

 

[Captain Moondog]

Hope we get a ref who knows backwards from forwards this week

 

[Disco]

I'm hoping for and kinda expecting a big win but......as always, will take the 2 points

 

[The Wheel]

Do the job boys, time to get back to the top of the ladder

 

[JBW]

Stick to the game plan. Its games like this where we expected to win big that we tend to overplay our hand going for quick tries and it makes us sloppy.

Upon saying that, i expect us to win big today.

 

[Briza]

Hopefully a Huge win, confident John's will do a good job but kinda fear which Harper will show up.
Hopefully for his and the teams sake he's switched on.

 

[globaleagle]

Hope we get a ref who knows backwards from forwards this week

Just hope the refs aren't no April fools.

 

[Captain Moondog]

Just hope the refs aren't no April fools.

Probably a forlorn hope....most of them are fools 24/7.

 

[Waz13]

Hopefully a Huge win, confident John's will do a good job but kinda fear which Harper will show up.
Hopefully for his and the teams sake he's switched on.

Gotta feeling Harper will do well today. I like him in my try multi today.

 

[manly al]

Knights have a pretty handy full back as well and will take some watching, not that much of a downgrade then Ponga . Think that D C E 's kicking game is going to have to be up to par for field position , hope that Cooper Johns can slot in well enough . Plenty of points in the side if they can get some momentum and with set plays . Hopefully not too jaded in defence after last weeks quite grueling game and can limit the Knights scoring opportunities . .just have to get on top and control the play as early as possible and try to stay that way

 

[Woodsie]

tough one for me as my 10yr olds a knights supporter. If they win the niggle I’ll receive from that little pest will be ten times as bad as Tyson Gambles best niggle. For my own sanity we must win this game.

Just remind the little bugger that ... you brought him into this world ... and you can take him out of it .. or simply remind him who pays for the interwebby ..

 

[Woodsie]

My hope is that my mate Keppie ... (All hail Keppie) ... puts one flush on the chin of Gamble ... will be well worth the couple of weeks suspension ...

RIP in lads .. do it for Dougie ...

 

[Waz13]

Just remind the little bugger that ... you brought him into this world ... and you can take him out of it .. or simply remind him who pays for the interwebby ..

The more likely scenario will be breaking up a fight between the knights fan and his 13yr old manly supporting brother. Despite the age difference the little man kicks off like super charged Robbie O on the juice! Manly might win the game, but the knight might win the fight! Plenty of junk food should see them both keep their cool!
