Game Day: Manly v Tigers [Round 19, 2017]

[Bearfax]

Is it true the ghost of Roy Masters has been doing some face slapping in the Wests team room. Will we see siege warfare? The toothless ones will want to get further away from that spoon

I think the first 10 minutes will decide what game it's going to be. Either the Tigers will score a couple quickly and force us to wrestle it back in a tight one, or we will score a couple early and roll on towards a cricket score (unless the refs penalise us out of the game).

 

[Holmsey]

Yeah I'm with a couple of people here I sense an upset, close game with plenty stoppages, errors penalties ect. We are young side and Im worried we will not respect the Tigers.

Superb weather/conditions for what should be a fantastic afternoon at Brookie topped off with an awesome win. Go Manly!

The only downer is, once again, I so wish Hastings was playing!

Why? Hastings isnt needed and doesnt warrant a selection with his poor showings in reserves.

 

[Eagleheart]

Heading off to Brookie soon.......!

Have a great Sunday everyone and hope the boys have a super game and smash those Tigpies.

Go the Mighty Manly Sea Eagles........!!

Manly#5 just sold the dummy of the Season before scoring He stopped running, so the defender stopped and the Manly guy hit the turbo button

I've been taking the thought in that if Marty offloads in either of his first 3 carries...we are going to have a good day.

It's kinda working.

@Eagleheart seeing as you're going to the game...can you please get me a game ball signed by the players? thanks. That'd be awesome!!!

I really don't sense an upset, manly should win this and win well, huge game to improve our +/-

I love stuff like that.

One day I saw Michael O'Connor do the same. (It didn't get a try though.)

Cust the halfback looks good. Tom Wright makes a lot of errors. Must have something going for him. Dunno what but.

tigpies are improving under ivan c ... GO MANLY

What do you base that on?

Under Taylor:
2-5 scoring at 15.7 ppg but letting in 27.4 ppg

Under Cleary:
2-7 scoring at 15.6 ppg but letting in 24 ppg

The only thing that has improved is they are letting in 3 less points per game. The only game they have won since round 8 (23 April) was against Newcastle. They lost to Souffs by 20, Donkeys by 36 and the Chooks by 22.

On form today should be a demolition job. But it rarely plays out like that. Manly by 18 for me.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Huge danger game this

Manly never do well when they are expected to win easy

I sense a tight struggle

Tigers will be up for this

Seriously , I smell an upset.

It happened last year ( from memory) at the Golden Eagles day.

The Tigpies really really love beating us.

What say you @mickqld ???

Already done my prediction in the pre game day thread. Tigpies by 6 on the back of Shaz Woods and Tedescort unleashing their inner Origin form.

 

[mickqld]

Manly will start slow and lazy this arvo. If we're not 18-0 after 15 min then we'll lose this.
