Pre-Game Manly v Penrith [Round 24, 2023]

[Waz13]

Has anyone seen the movie series, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"?
Next Thursday may well and truly be the next, and most profound release !
Coming to a theatre near you !!!!

Hahaha.

The original TCM might be one of the greatest horror movies I’ve seen.

 

[Waz13]

There may be only one motivating factor for the team this Thursday night. That being if they can win this game it will be the biggest upset this year. Oh, actually Tigers beat Penrith I think. So mightn’t even be that. Might actually try find TCM original Tobe Hooper version and watch that instead.

My favourite was Class of 1984… maybe not a true horror movie but I was 10 and it was pretty bloody full on at the time and left an impression!

Yeah agree. Very disturbing. How good was the grimy impaired hitchhiker younger brother (I think) and the old grandpa cannibal dude. Yikes - those memories are too early for a Sat morning.

 

[BOZO]

My favourite Horror Movie was the the 1973 Classic Cat Massacre
where Manly beat the Crap out of the Panthers by 70 to 7

Even though It was an adults only film some people walked out at half time as they could not stand the Brutality of the Manly Slaughter

Johnny Mayes bagged four tries, Alan Thompson a hat-trick, and Bob Fulton crossed for a double in a 14 tries to one romp. Graham Eadie was a sharpshooter that day, converting all 14

That year the Magnificence Manly Sea eagles reigned Supreme and Won their back to back grand final
That Year the Great Winning Manly Boss was the Great Godfather Ken Arthurson

 

[Brocky]

Hope Penrith roll out their second team, to make it watchable

 

[eagle66]

Big chance next week. Panthers, I expect, will be without luai who will be suspended and Edwards will be rested due to his hamstring strain and Martin will rest his shoulder.
Yes, I will be watching and be in awe of the Panthers machine.

We 100% lose this one, but it's an opportunity to at put up a half decent performance.

I'd be happy if we only concede 4 penalties and 4 repeat sets, may drop the ball twice and zero stupid passes.

Keep Penrith to under 30. I dont think we can score against them, our attack last week vs Chooks was disgusting and they are just about the most ineffective side in defence.

Most of all I'd like to see that dog number 6 smashed head first into a boundary fence.

He should be suspended. But can’t stand that little grub. Most despised player in NRL. He will take unders to stay at the riff as he knows he will fail outside of that team.

 

[Eagle 1]

We seem lost in attack unless it's a long range try or a moment of brilliance. We don't have any plays to beat even an average defence. I can't even see us scoring against them, they will suffocate us then roll in a few easy tries without getting out of second gear. 36-0 or thereabouts. It will be more like an opposed training run for them. Our defensive intensity last for about 5 minutes then we fold. I hope I'm proved wrong and we pull off a shock win but I just can't see it.

That's harsh UKE, ....at least 10min...

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Starring Monstrous Mestrov and his spoon killer sidekick Terrifying Tony Cruelbold.

There is a bit of a resemblance between these two:

Actually it will be, even better than the Tigers win, the weather played a big part in that win.

 

[The '47ers]

Luai free to play us after direct shoulder to NAS' head 🤷🏻‍♂️

[ALinda]

Last week it was serial offender JWH who got off with a fine and now serial offender Luai gets off with the same. The MRC must think 'ah you're a Rorter/Panther playing Manly next week' so here's a slap on the wrist, play on. What a joke.

 

[ManlyTragic]

Fortunately I will be out Thursday night and will be unable to watch this game…… I am starting to feel a lot less stressed already!

Big chance we might keep them under a 100…….phew that’s a relief…….sorry, wish I was more optimistic, wonder what our biggest ever defeat at Brookie is? I’ll be relieved if we can play out the 80 with our integrity in tact, pretty sure most know we’re in for a hell of a night.

Here’s the answer to the question

The match against Penrith, which they lost 46–6 at Brookvale Oval, was the club's biggest ever home defeat at the ground. However their season turned around, and by round 16, Manly recorded their biggest ever victory in club history, defeating the Bulldogs 66–0 at Western Sydney Stadium.

 

[Rafferty]

Then this, we have the 10th biggest loss in NRL history……to you guessed it……getting a little worried that some records may be rewritten this Thursday

10. Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles (Round 22, 2004) - 60 points​

Manly suffered a humiliating 72-12 defeat against the Penrith Panthers in Round 22 of the 2004 season.


In a season where they finished 13th out of the 15 sides, this performance mirrored much of their poor displays across the seasons.

Manly had separate six and four-game losing streaks across their 2004 season.

The Sea Eagles didn’t pick up too many wins across the season, but they did beat the Panthers earlier that year which makes this loss stranger.

Manly would learn their lesson by winning the following two weeks by a margin of 56 points helping them avoid the wooden spoon.

Bet ch 9 are regretting this selection. Not even manly fans want to watch
