Game Day: Manly v Knights [Round 8, 2020]

[Bearfax]

Win this one and we are equal 4th, but in 6th position. Lose this one and we are probably 10th, given the Rabbits should beat the Dogs. Important game.

 

[TimmyQ]

It’s hard NOT to have a dire forecast.

Normal season , full strength , at home , I’d have Eagles by 10.

Covid-19 season , lots of outs, still at home , it’s a wing and a prayer and if we were exceptionally lucky Manly by 2.

More likely, Knights by 15-20.

Ok Mark, I'm gonna say this for Brad and the rest of u lot. "We'll win this." Go Manly

 

[The better Robbo]

You paint a dire forecast brother .... but a correct one .... I think the Dessie lovefest may have a few dents in it if we lose this week .... GoJetSki needs a big game to repay the faith Des has in him .... or I will lead the charge ...

Levi, Paseka and Gosiewski must be on notice

 

[BrendonStarr]

Look, we can definitely bounce back in a big way today, zero chance that we will be playing like a bottom 4 team today. Expecting more of a Top 4 performance from Manly today. Could be reasonably close if the Knights are also firing.

Manly 28 Newcastle 18

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Well the Paseka fans on here will be delighted to see the big fella at 17.

Buggered if I know what Morgan Boyle has done to not be considered after his very good two first games but I’m thinking like Elliott he’s told Des to get ****ed and is playing the price.

Nice optimistic post mate , hope you are right.

Knights 13+

 

[joeboy]

Need the big players to step up.

I’m looking at you DCE, Taupau, Thompson,

if jake and AFB deliver their normal standard and croker, Levi and Garrick can muster some skill and everyone else is solid we can get the win.

I will guarantee Levi trying multiple times to barge over from dummy half and wasting tackles. But if he jags one I will be over the moon. But he doesn’t know when the moment is, and his severe case of white line fever against his old club won’t stop him trying

get up manly!

My God that Bradman Best is a bloody big boy!

I fear you might be close to being right.

Knights 34
Manly 12

But boy I hope I’m wrong

In newcastle? Surely you jest....

 

[davohan123]

my seat for the afternoon.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

If they can adopt the Cowboys approach and limit Ponga’s time with the ball we might be in with a chance but if he runs riot the score could get very very VERY ugly.

 

[Waz13]

My God that Bradman Best is a bloody big boy!

Yep but Moses has him covered

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Hannah hollis is a tasty bit of crumpet isnt she

 

[Sheikheagle]

[40 years an eagle]

Full strength Knights.
We will win this if DCE can play like Blake Green.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]
