Now get ready for the inevitable 'slapbowl' jokes and headlines that will permeate the media whenever this game is mentioned.

 

[Woodsie]

If we don't flog the Nights I'll slap him.

Well if we lose this one we are ****! Should beat them with 40 points to spare. I can't see it being 50-0 but I'll tip 42-10 I think we will beat them well if we play like the last 3 weeks with that same great attitude to start matches. I'm expecting api to play well as he needs to play well to secure the 5/8 spot against walker, should be a good little internal battle for the halves in our side. Knights well they won't be crap like against Broncs plus it's at hunter but they are badly down with all there injuries. If Williame plays history shows we won't be winning. This game is a must win coz I can't see us beating Broncos, Cowboys, sharks and raiders In the next 4 weeks. We have to win this to make a play at top 8. I'm practically certain Broncos and Cowboys will beat us hopefully the boys play well though. Who replaces Tafua? Well it's pretty simple not Williame. I'm going through a wild card out there but I think Brad Parker could take the wing spot.

Manly 42 (Korosiau, Symonds, Walker 2, Trbojevic 2, Parker tries/Lyon 6/6 goals)

On what basis have you come up with this? Who is Parker?

He's Lady Penelope's chauffeur.

On what basis have you come up with this? Who is Parker?

Brad is in NSW Cup and he was the 18th man last week against the Eels.

He didn't go too good in NSW Cup. 😎

Tuitahi went great on the wing, but Wiliame deserves to break his hoodoo on Monday 🙂

Let's not underestimate the knights. Yeah, they've been flogged this season but they've had only two home games, a win and a draw. I'd like to win by 40 as well but the knights, at home, on Anzac day after a flogging will be pumped.
Any kind of victory from our boys will please me.

Watched the replay of the manly v Mounties game this morning on fox. Obviously the first 55 mins were disgraceful but after that they really turned it around. That could of been Mounties taking their foot off the pedal but we still put points on the board. Best in the 2nd half were godinet, williame, tuitahi asn Goodall had good patches.
I can't Really go past williame for the wing spot this week against Newcastle.

 

[Turbo]

If we lose this week and Williame plays we know the curse is real

 

[lsz]

Considering the Knights have been close in a few games / lost 3 players in the one game to the concussion rule it might not be the walk in the park many expect

 

[Eagle1]

In this comp any win will do,whether by 40 or 1 point will do thanks,teams today are so even that if your 10%off your game,then your cooked,you'd except them coming at us after a flogging they copped from the Broncs,and we need to be better in attack to even go close to the score some are predicting on this site,so like I said any win score will do.

 

[Andrew..]

Barrett should get a free slap of Brown's face if we win !

 

[HappilyManly]

Brad Parker is in the NYC - so Wiliame may get his winning chance in the NRL

 

[Turbo]

Williame gets the wing spot, matt Parcell is all good to go. Chez could be a late inclusion. Lawrence returns starling is out with AFB retaining his spot

If Wiliame is ever gonna get a win it will be this week.

 

[davohan123]

I think this game is going to be so much closer than people think, us by 7.

Newcastle are going to be hard to beat up there. Will be happy to win by any margin and leave with the 2 points.

 

[Nordburg]

I wouldn't be surprised if Starling is injured.Didnt see much action Thursday night and didn't deserve to be dropped

 

[Crusher_Cleal]

NNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
