Game Day: Manly v Storm [Round 21, 2021]

[SeaEagleRock8]

Even if we do manage to grab a win, all the media will say is that a near full strength Manly defeated an under-strength Melbourne Storm who have 'x' amount of players out through injury.

I think Manly aren't too concerned about what the media write from time to time. If they were they would have given up by early April 😉

Who cares what they say, we’ll be one step closer to that top 4 spot and have the mental edge over Scum for the first semi.

I wouldn't give a rats how the media spins it if we were to beat the storm. I'd be too elated and on the tinnies to care..

 

[KaZa]

Theyve only got two out. Their basically full strength

 

[Woodsie]

What I would really like to see is that we come out from under that radar shiite .. and make a statement ... whether that is pushing them to the end ... or beating them.

We are 1 win from 7 games against top 8 sides.

Need a lot of improvement in defence to win this game.
Fingers crossed

Lol last night we were 3/7 and the night before 4/7 after the weekend we will likely be 5/8. Or possibly 1/8. But I get my drift what does it really mean when 7 and 8 change each week. What’s more relevant is our record v the top 6. 1/5 so far.

So think storm will still be way too strong here tonight.

If we can be within a 16 point margin we are doing well.

I think if storm get any major possession swing and ball in our 20 we just won't be able to hold them out.

If we start slow or try to play to fancy this could be over before half time.

I wan to see us repect the ball, not give up silly errors.

Storm 28-12.

Agree.
If the team can walk away knowing what they need to do to win big games then that will do.

So yeah… your point is we have a crappy record against the top 6. My point was we have a crappy record against the top 8.
Good one. Thanks for setting me straight.

Don’t be so sensitive Bats

 

[Cessnockturbo]

Manly is not the same side that lost to those big teams back in March and April. They probably wish we were 🙂

 

[KOMORI]

How good is it: the whole week of nervous anticipation that this particular game has had stirring in the cockles of the old ticker all week??

Hopefully this will be one of the games of the season!

 

[Sheikheagle]

Do we know if Hughes is playing ?

 

[The Admiral]

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!

You’ve brought a tear to my eye. Go Manly. Go forth and slay the Great Satan of the South

 

[davohan123]

Do we know if Hughes is playing ?

In about 35 minutes you will

 

[Remy]

This is it folks, our biggest one yet. We gonna put the whole competition on notice tonight.

 

[Cessnockturbo]

I want Hughes to play we need a strong performance tonight

The Media can say what they like when Manly win tonight

We will take the points and the Glory of being Victors

Winners are Grinners 🙂

 

[Cessnockturbo]

We need to tire them out early
