You can pick a fight with me young Harry ... I'm in the mood (all fired up)and it will make the time go faster.

Won't pick a fight but now is the time to admit, you were right with Marty playing well at prop, it's hard for me to admit but I've just got to get it over with, before you mention it in the "I told you so" thread I saw on here a few days ago...

@Woodsie & @Harry Smith , get your camera phones out, it's on!!

Judging by last weeks games....and tonight;

Playing the ball with your foot is no longer a high priority on the nrl's agenda!

go Manly

Souths forwards and bench isn't that flashy. I think our pack can hold their own against it

Well spotted my bovine friend (or is that ruminant) ???? Noticed the same thing, roll ball is back .... until Manly gets penalised for it.

Ruminant...thank you! (rum in ant - lucky ant!)

And exactly to you as well. We saw it last year I think when a ref was getting annoyed with us and started penalising us for something that wasn't policed all season. I think it may be been the play the ball infraction.

smash the fasc!

I am absolutely shocked to see Souths firm in to equal favourite with Manly to win tomorrow.
Whats going on?. I don't get it.
When you look at how miserable Souths were last week, that they lost Inglis who without have lost their last 8 games with 62 for and about 260 against. Manly coming off a reasonable perfomance, near full strength, and at home.
Something is not all as it seems.

coming off a reasonable performance are you serious? They were attrocious, can't see them getting close.

Cervine.

Just "Mr." will do.

 

[Midnight Rambler]

Another crowd of 10-11k today, because nobody wants to go to the game?

 

[Eagleheart]

If Myles, Siro and Winterstein can increase their tackle workloads even by 25% each, we have a chance. Simple really but not sure they are capable? Hope they prove me wrong.....!

And starve the vermin halves of the ball, Walker and Reynolds are their main attacking weapons. Although IMO, our centres and halves are far better players than their opposites, so will be interesting to see what happens.

I just don't like thinking maybe we can win, maybe we can't....! I remember the days I could go into games thinking yes we have this in the bag and we did. Hopefully those days come again in the not too distant future.

Anyway, have a great afternoon everyone and I will be back after the game.

Go Manly............!!

 

[ALinda]

Beautiful sunny afternoon at Brookie 🙂 Hoping for a win and no more injuries or suspensions. Go Manly!

 

[Mitch]

Good start to the Holden Cup boys again with a 20-4 lead just before half time.

Better than post game lately.

Manly need to reclaim Fortress Lotto

Great weather and weakened opponents => Manly 13+

Geez, it's got to be our turn to gloat

I wonder if we will be wearing the away jersey today. Don't think so but wasn't this the match that was moved from rabbits home at anz to brookie due to adele's concert or something.
