Game Day: Manly V Souths [Round 18, 2025]

[Eagledare2dream]

Garrick needs to practice his kicking, lucky we're not playing elsewhere.

Mightn’t matter next year……

It does feel like the ref has tried his best to keep Souths in this despite that penalties are only 4-3 their way and set restarts being 1 all.

I think he was riding them hard in the first 20, then realised Manly were holding firm, so gave it up. You can only help teams so much I guess. 14 nil flatters them though. They don’t appear to have any attacking options apart from the Humphreys bomb. Missing Cody big time.

I'd rather keep Garrick as kicker with Fogarty as the back up.

Don’t take your foot off the pedal lads

 

[Brookie1973]

Not sure what Souths are paying Wighton, but it’s too much. Hopefully that isn’t a jinx.

 

[Eagledare2dream]

F/A will count where we finish up specially this year, win this we're in the 8th..

I would never discount Wighton. A Churchill and Dally M Medallist.....

Not sure about Hoppa at 1.

Great player but is he our best option at this stage???

 

[HoldenV8]

Surprised the ref called that escort, but it was the right call.

 

[bob dylan]

Gee Sipley has been good so far.

 

[nightster]

Yeah but usually performs when his team is in charge

 

[nightster]

Oh yes Turbo, what a centre

 

[HoldenV8]

Young GrassHoppa reminds me of Reed Richards (Fantastic 4 for those who don't know ).

Rubber man.

 

[HoldenV8]

Turbo's 108th try for Manly.

21 more and he equals the late, great Bozo's 129.

 

[bob dylan]

Tom looking much fitter this week.

 

[Peter C]

Young GrassHoppa reminds me of Reed Richards (Fantastic 4 for those who don't know ).

Rubber man.

With an Easter Island statue type sized head

 

[HoldenV8]

Thankfully Garrick's feet aren't as big as Jason Saab's

 

[bob dylan]

Score prediction 20-16.

Hopefully 32-6

Yes
