Pre-Game Manly V Sharks [Round 27, 2024]

[ManEagle]

My reasoning

1) it’s at home
2) the Gummies poor record at Brookvale
3) the players know what a home final will mean ( almost like a second chance )

But I agree about being down two players , however for all the anti Seibold people on here I think he’s done an outstanding job at the “ next man up “ scenario so I’m confident that Koula / Hoppa Jnr Jnr Jnr will handle that role and I’m expecting them to be switching constantly.

And whilst no superstar , Clayton F has handled the step up a few times and has done a job.

But the biggest reason is....
Are you still in WA ?

Like to think that Manly does have some real advantages for tomorrow but can 't see the Sharks being easy to roll .
Plenty of incentives for a Manly win , think if Manly "s defence can hold up , should be able to jag it but going to take a pretty concerted and controlled effort in the process .

Ahh yes… incentives. If only we had those for that Tigers debacle.

Absolutely, in fact just arrived in the Perth area ( Swan Valley ).

It was a debacle , but someone posted up the stats from that game to “ Spoonbowl “, same ref , you need to check that out.

We were terrible , but we were crucified with no chance of winning.

The Tigers were absolutely gifted that game on a platter.

I hope the weather is good for you to enjoy this lovely place feathered friend

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I actually think the team chosen will do a pretty fair job.

Will we miss Tommy , 110%

Can we win without him , 100%

And that there is why I'm confident 🤣

To be honest the last week has been dreadful , raining ( not constantly ) and winds between 50-75kph.

We had a fishing charter booked for Geraldton , cancelled.

Do we booked for Jurien Bay , it also cancelled .

The seas were mountainous, even the commercial fishermen were staying in.

And after 3 1/2 months of glorious sunshine and 30 plus days , yesterdays top 12 degrees , feels like 5.2 ( at midday ).

Thankfully , the sun is out again , it’s about 18 so not too bad and from Wednesday we get a run of 27-28 days !!

It was a big massive front that went through. I think it’s affected the east coast as well .

Do you go to the local and enjoy a good feed and a meal when it rains ?

Yep , West Australian Crayfish for lunch a few days ago , Lobster chowder for lunch yesterday.

Can’t just sit around and do nothing

We're those lobster / crayfish from Jurien Bay lobster shack ?
Probably should have stayed further north for another 3 weeks then head south.
Been a wet and cold winter south of Perth

Got a feeling we'll struggle tomorrow. Gummies will come at us hard they won't want 2 losses going into finals. Think our forwards will struggle after last week effort. No Turbo is always a bad one. Sharks by 8.

 

[mave]

NRL will want a Doggies home final, for obvious reasons.

We will be playing against 18 tomorrow, for sure and certain.

And if that’s the case we are just cannon fold next week refs nrl will want bulldogs in week 2 of finals if they play at home !!!

Have to overcome it!

 

[Wombat64]

There is zero chance we are winning this game. The corrupt NRL and its dodgy clown officials will want Manly to play Bulldogs at the Olympic Stadium.



The NRL collects the gate takings during all finals games – and the difference between a sixth-versus-seventh elimination final at 4 Pines Park and 17,000 fans compared to more than 50,000 supporters at Accor Stadium could be about $1 million, according to sources with knowledge of the finances, but who are not authorised to speak publicly.

The game tomorrow will be refed as badly as the Tigers v Manly game.

I can't stand how scripted / managed the game has become.

[madmax]

I hope I am wrong but have a bad feeling about Sunday

Its like us have a good win then team floppy comes out to play.

Sharks are full strength and no one is talking them up as a genuine threat.

I just don't see the points in us.

Sharks 28-16
And dogs have a few out tomorrow
So I think it's
Dogs vs Manly accor stadium week 1 finals

WTF? You don’t see the points in us? I see more points in us than the Sharks! Way more points to be honest!

You are assuming that the game will be refed fairly....... It won't be.
