Happy 100th to the Little Hairy Hobbit

 

[lismore_fan]

Which team will we field?

The team that says, "Don't worry, it's only Drug-castle. They're coming last. We only have to show up to get the two points."

I hope not. We still have or 'stars' out. It's these little games that worry me most.
I hope the right team runs shows up!

 

[RiverEagle]

Yeah me too @lismore_fan.

I'm hoping the loss against the Scum will have any complacency from us on notice.

Really hope TRed gets a chance at redemption.

Similarly, good luck to the Wolfman; and Congrats on his 100th. Great effort!

I have a bad feeling about this week

Newcastle have been playing poorly and we are coming off a hard game. I hate when we are this heavily favoured. Newcastle always lift against us.

Low crowd being a Monday night and this has a hall mark of being a close game!! This has upset written all over it if we are not careful

Either we will win by 13+ or Newcastle by less than 8 points.

Cannot wait for another game at Brookie Oval cheering on the best team ever Manly Sea Eagles

 

[Stevo]

Most important game of the year so far

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Foxsporst.com reporting:
"WAYNE Bennett’s season from hell just got worse with his most destructive player, Joey Leulia, limping off the training paddock on Friday with a potentially serious hamstring tear."

 

[Chip and Chase]

BJ being out is good for us and good for hiku. More confident now of a good win.

 

[Shoe1]

Hard to quantify, that bloke bj is a good attacker but a cruddy defender.

 

[Brissie Kid]

Shane Hayne yet again not allocated a Brookie game by the NRL.

Media may eventually realise there is a story there.

 

[RiverEagle]

Yeah and BJL can be hot or cold too, just like the Noughts are overall lately.

Hope they're cold on Monday night, and we're on fire, of course.

Shane Hayne yet again not allocated a Brookie game by the NRL.

Media may eventually realise there is a story there.

He is ranked #1, so will always get the top game.

We are going to hear Mooooove, all Monday :s

Interesting that Nein just highlighted the 'Pall Bearer' tackle on Choc and Hiku. Wonder if it will happen tonight 😎

 

[mickqld]

I've got nothing so Knights by 14.

 

[HappilyManly]

Twittersphere is reporting that their Players aren't getting paid. Where is the NRL hierarchy in this matter ? 😡

 

[Shoe1]

Twittersphere is reporting that their Players aren't getting paid. Where is the NRL hierarchy in this matter ? 😡

Nrl HQ are:
1) busy protecting Todd
2) engaging a barrister to investigate Todd
3) carefully ensuring Mitchell can play origin
4) carefully ensuring Greg can play origin
5) adding Hadley's personal vendetta to their board meeting agenda
6) looking forward to the next seagulls v hawks match
7) playing the violin and wondering what that burning smell is

 

[Jerry1]

According to rabbits the NRL are on to it.

 

[HappilyManly]

Not much they can do as Knights are run as a private Company. 😎

When you think about it, the NRL are just the master franchiser, they have zero liability as far as Player payments are concerned :dodgy:

 

[RiverEagle]

Rabbits did just read out a statement on Nein, stating that the NRL will do everything possible to ensure the salaries of all employees at the Knights (from DSmith...)

Exactly what, who knows...but that is something at least.

 

[HappilyManly]

Tinkler is Singapore based and the 10 million Security won't cover the cost of running a Club for a year.
Apparently Bennet is directly contracted to HSG, and not the Knights.

We live in interesting times 😎

 

[manlyfan76]

Good time to play the Knights and slip in the boot. Really effing hard.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

No mercy, Manly.
