3rd game in a row we go in with a makeshift hooker subbing for another makeshift hooker all while the 2 actual hookers we have, one is on the bench and the other in NSW Cup.

smh.....
That's what happens when you spend the last 5 years since stabby departed going with makeshift hookers. Watch what Koroisau just did to win it for the Tigpies. Our fu*king recruitment is a shambles.
 
I have a bad feeling about this game, the only thing giving me a bit of hope is we are at home but I have no confidence in this squad of players.
I have confidence in most of the squad, except for Fualalo, the lack of a real hooker, and Garrick at centre.

What gives you that confidence? we tend to turn our toes up whenever a team brings the heat. I like tough predictable football teams we are exciting to watch when passes stick and we are in the mood but I couldn't call us a tough predictable team. A few errors or bad calls from the refs we drop our heads.

That's why I have no confidence in the squad.
 
Is that the footballer you have when not real a footballer ?

No mental toughness in this lot to rise against adversity. Hasn't happened for a decade and won't till the culprits are gone. The leader's silence in all this bullsh*t contract talk is testimony to the attitude and culture in the place.
 
Manly news: Daly Cherry-Evans declared fit to face Canberra. He’s overcome those back spasms.

Tom Trbojevic will be a certain starter v Eels next week.

Tommy Talau set for a few more weeks on sideline with hamstring tightness. Faulalo on wing v Raiders. On AAP #NRL
"A few more week" for the same problem Tom has...
 
Good luck today Manly the Raiders will be a tough nut to crack. We need to muscle up big time in the forwards with big legitimate hits , our forwards have to stand their ground and tackle tackle and tackle and not be intimidated by the Raiders.
 
Could be...in more ways than one:
Atkins the ref, Klein in the bunker
No Turbo, new combinations.
Raiders on a roll

Hopefully they can lift above the challenges though and do it for Beau
Not a lot in our favour @ALinda
However, I think we've got this one.
Manly by not many.
Happy to take $20 off any "Manly Supporter" who disagrees (via Paypal).
Direct message me to play. (maximum five players)
 
I'm not getting carried away with the Raiders first two weeks. They've always had the ability to tough out wins against quality opposition but they're a lot like us; inconsistent. There's every chance they come out flat and get flogged tonight.
