‘Above and beyond anything we’ve seen’: Biggest rap yet for Turbo

Senior Manly players have delivered their highest and best praise yet for Tommy Trbojevic, who will try to end Melbourne’s white-hot run on Saturday night.

Im pumped and its 620am !

Manly by 6

 

[The Wheel]

Let’s cut this mob down to size - come on you sea Eagles

 

[court83]

I'm pretty confident we can win this tonight.. will have to be on our game for sure, but imo this is the best team Manly can possibly field (minus fainu but at this point in the season I don't even consider him much of a loss anymore) and they have a few injury worries... If Tommy, dce, Schuster, foz and Walker all turn up with their play making abilities turned up to 11 we should be too dangerous across the park for this mob

The equations simple beat Melb and Easts lose and we are in the top 4. It will then be up to us to stay there. Our destiny is in our hands (with some help from Penrith this arvo)

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

This game is something to look forward to, which is a handy thing to have during this bloody pandemic

Go Manly, let's turn this roll into an unstoppable avalanche !!!

 

[court83]

Also, anyone punting on this tonight?? I like to keep my bets small, but won $100 on last week's game so betting this week with free money .
Tab has us 3.30 head to head.. imo that's insane.. no way should storm be as short as 1.30 with the rumoured injury concerns to Hynes and Hughes, kafusi out, no home field advantage and the form Manly (Tommy turbo) is in... Favs yes, but not THAT short

Roosters have a fairly good run home.

Spend your $100 on a Chinese or Thai and a bottle of wine...

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I’ve said it twice before but they eventually have to lose a game.

And maybe tonight’s the night !!

We will know before our game if 4th is a chance. Rooters to go pop against the penny boys and we do a number on storm.

Sounds like a plan?

 

[globaleagle]

It's the Manly Jedi Knights v the storm clones
It's good v evil
It's how the game should be played v dull tactics and tackles designed to injure players
It's one contract v two or more contracts
It's play for your mates v play for a cushy post career media job to pump up the bank a/c.
It's the nrl's best forum v one so crappy their chief waffler has to post on here.
It's soul v the soulless
It's 1947 v media funded and backed' drop ins'
It's zero stripped titles v two stripped titles!
It's the fabric of the game v super league drop kicks

Manly v the anti rugby league spirit.

tune in!

Lol normally that's where it would go.. I only bet small, 20 here, 20 there.. it makes the games more interesting.. cheering on Tommy to score his second try is 1 thing, cheering Tommy on when you have 20 bucks on 2 trys paying 2.80 is something else lol.. esp in games where we get a big lead then put the que in the rack like we tend to do.. usually I totally lose interest, but if I have a bet on say, Harper to score, and it hasnt happened yet it keeps me invested in the game..

I’m so nervous I feel sick!!!! Let’s do this boys!
