Game Day: Manly v Roosters [Round 20, 2022]

[SeaEagleRock8]

this is just so frustrating. Last week half the team is out with covid. This week half the team are out because they don’t like the jersey.

You gotta feel for des and the coaching staff.

Surely they get a full squad to pick from next week.

We'll take it all out on the Eels.

Did the Roosters just select a man as their woman in league club role model???

I think we will end up surprising a lot of people tonight. The run-on team (excepting the wingers) looks pretty good to me (All things considered). The pack looks solid. Halves as per usual. It will be interesting to see how DW goes at centre. Segeyaro will give us a point of difference when he comes on for Croker. De Luis has been pretty good for us every time he has played first grade. Zac Fulton has a lot of potential for the future. Who knows even Boyle might have one last good game in him? At the very least we look more than capable of holding the Roosters to a reasonable score, and might even jag a win. Particularly, when Matt Lodge gets sent off for simply being Matt Lodge.

Good luck to the new kids in the team. Win lose or draw I hope they have an enjoyable experience.

Anything less than a 50 point loss is a win.

I really don't think this is as bad a side as everyone is making it out to be.

 

[Port Eagle]

The club should have handled it better, but the sentiment is correct.

Although it’s been a tough week, and the end result may not be what we want on the score board, I am positive and proud of what the team will do tonight.

Go Manly…..

Btw I have backed Manly 1-12 $100.

No it’s not but it’s a giant step up for two rookie wingers and that’s where they’ll attack us.

 

[Rafferty]

Cant wait for the game to start, rip in boys, good luck to our debutants, I‘m just looking forward to watching footy and enjoying a good game, hopefully our boys step up and do the jersey proud.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Manly will win tonight!!!! i can feel it in the air!!!!!

sadly i won’t be able to live comment as i’ll be at work so will be listening on the radio.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Good luck to the new kids in the team. Win lose or draw I hope they have an enjoyable experience.

And for goodness sake ( everyone ) cut them some slack if things go to ****!!

 

[God]

We need to run out to this 100 percent god approved

 

[Spartan Eagle]

If the Covid boys back up ok and aren't fatigued then this could be a good game.

 

[Dan]

Is it over yet?

Well, Robbo did say the Rorters were inclusive

 

[HoldenV8]

Given the circumstances I am not expecting a win tonight so will be pleasantly surprised if we do.

Pio Seci and Alfred Smalley are now Sea Eagles first graders. Good luck guys.

On Oxford St they are.

Ye of little faith @Dan I have tipped Manly to win. This is not a huge step for me as I tip them in every game. I just can't imagine ever backing them to lose. Go Manly.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Is it over yet?

No, but I’d say by 8.30pm it might be

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Our only hope is the Roosters mindset is that they take us too easy.
