GAME DAY!!!!!!!!

How about a win? Asking for a friend.

WOOHOO!!!

Muscle memory has me excited.
Brain has me apathetic

 

[The Wheel]

A win for the home fans would be too much to ask?

 

[Budgie]

Dear Manly,

Yes, yes, yes, I know you get paid anyway and I know your little fireside chats have made you love your fellow players so much that you never want to see them get hurt.

But have you ever thought about how good it might feel to actually WIN a game?

Come on boys, fill yourselves with endorphins. I know I could use some.

Signed,
Seriously Suffering Budgie

 

[The '47ers]

Don't fark this up

 

[nightster]

So the coach has backed the captain and the captain has said he wants lead the team to the finals ... so start leading .... the disharmony amongst the team has been refuted so boys get out there and play like a team that is united ...... play like Sea Eagles .... go Manly

 

[Carl]

If they play as listed, would it be the first time Saab has played outside Koula?

Might be the fastest centre/wing pairing ever.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Doesn't feel like game day... but it is!
Will be watching tonite with a Tigers fan, so win Manly, and win big.
Go Manly!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

We just LOVE playing **** teams back into form , home ground advantage means NOTHING this year.

Tigers 32
Manly 10

 

[stoodamire]

If they play as listed, would it be the first time Saab has played outside Koula?

Might be the fastest centre/wing pairing ever.

Nah, Saab will play right.

The captains run photos show this.

 

[Chunkytuna]

Nah, Saab will play right.

The captains run photos show this.

Did I miss something? I thought Saab was out? Shows how little I’m focusing on our fuk up of a team.

Maybe a big stirring rendition of Kumbaya My Lord, at the next fireside chat, may be enough for this mob to turn up. Lets face it, we need all the help we can get.

[TJ55]

Good luck Eagles fans
At half time Seibold needs to take a step back, get @BOZO in the sheds to make a half time inspiration spray to the players

 

[Ralphie]

Sadly, TIGPIES by plenty.

 

[ManlyArmy]

If Tigers can't beat this rabble, fold the merger

 

[Chunkytuna]

If Tigers can't beat this rabble, fold the merger

True. The pressure is all on them.

 

[Eagle 1]

The Saab - Turbo - Lehi combo back in harness... this could be something special tonight.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Good luck Eagles fans
At half time Seibold needs to take a step back, get @BOZO in the sheds to make a half time inspiration spray to the players

No. That generally has the opposite effect, around here at least

 

[Phobia]

Pretty sure this is only the second time that Garrick has played outside Koula.

First (and only?) time:
