Pre-Game Manly v Roosters [Finals Week 2, 2021]

[rosco]

With all the outs Roosters have, you would think young gun Suaalii would get a mention....is he injured or just needs more time

Injured. Out for the year.

Here’s two stats we need to address starting this weekend. We have lost 6 of our last 7 finals and 4 of our last 5 games against the Rorters, time to aim up boys, there’s plenty of ammo for motivation there, time to turn the tables. I feel like saying wake the fuk up and take this opportunity, you have everything to play for, take it, don’t waste it, fire up lads.

I have a theory that our intense pre game warm up that sometimes seems to run overtime and players rushing in to change / final preps is contributing to our poor starts.
Specially in the qld humidity, I would love to see a more organised approach because at times it looks haphazard those last 5 minutes before we take the field. Surely that unsettles the team before a ball is kicked.

We really beed to get our first 20 minutes right it has been putting us under the pump from the get go

WTF, how am I nasty? I'm just debating my argument. Don't get personal. I haven't. Show me anywhere where I've been "nasty" and I'll apologise. Maybe you're thinking of someone else? haha.

I stand by my argument 40. Dylan has been fantastic. He needs to be in the squad. That's nothing to do with you, or who you are?

Are you okay, mate? Honestly.

Pretty sure I'm one of the softest bastards on this site. Wowzers.

I presume three posts were deleted from this thread while I was out on my run. You're a nasty sh1t Ryan - and here I was all this time thinking you're a good bloke.

My wife thinks I'm a nasty fly-blown sh1t - Fidel Gastro is what she calls me.

I’m not even that confident, look at their side , most teams would kill for a line up like that.

Get the van out @Mark from Brisbane and head north.

Holding onto the fuking ball might solve that problem. Something we've been incapable of large parts of the season.

I agree mate but we just don't looked switched on to do it, I'm just theorising one possible reason is the rush to take the field after the warm up.

We're due a good start. In too many games this season the boys have started poorly. Finals football is a different beast. We need to start well.

Yep first try against us last weekend we were doomed , heads were straight down.

calling it now 8 - 6 half time lead 26 - 12 fulltime score..

 

[George Rose's Butcher]

Manly 13+ they just beat the titans and realistically should have lost. We beat the Titans by 50

Lockdown does strange things to people I guess hahaha

Verrils was named in the side before he was wiped out by the judiciary so anything can happen with their team make-up after that.
candle stick maker? Ok, I got it.

I think we can't leave it late tomorrow night to win.

I think this will be a lot closer than we all want. Manly by 8 but we are going to have to play a completely different game to last week.

Honestly , I think we have to win this in the first half , if it’s 18/20 to say 6 at half time I’ll feel more confident.

If it’s 18-6 against , we are out in straight sets.

 

[Mataiforever]

Lawton has to be there as cover for Crocker in case Crockers back seizes up during the game

Walker should be fine to cover that & Jake.

Having one genuine prop on the bench isn’t enough, we need a full rotation - no game showed the difference in having a full prop rotation more than the Storm match. Better than giving Lawton 10-20 mins where he isn’t crucial

 

[mickqld]

Still a chance that Suli can come into the centers. I just think we need more momentum out there in attack.

 

[grassy]

All settled in at Mackay and tomorrow can not come quick enough. Taking the jetski out in the morning till miday then lunch and a sleep then game time. Manly to win tomorrow and no injuries.
