Game Day: Manly v Tigers [Round 19, 2021]

[Mitch]

There’s no complacency today, we will do the job clinically, I expect we have learnt from the drugcheats and the faiders games, as well as grinding out a good win last week, that we must turn up and compete every week, we have a couple of big games coming up and no way will this side at near full strength want to tank it against the tigers leading into those games and the moving towards the end of year.
Solid win today is what I expect we will all enjoy, looking forward to it big time.

The thing is against both Raiders and Knights, our line up was no where near as strong as this.

Today should be a chance to show what they are truly capable of at, or close to, full strength.

 

[mickqld]

Just loving looking at that line up. I don't think I've seen us at this close to full strength since about 2013.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Not even gonna be close. We are going to maul the Tigers

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I hope the boys aren’t as confident as some of us and are focussed ready to work hard and win the middle before going side to side. I agree that the next 2 weeks are crucial and could provide the platform we need going into matches against the Storm and Eels. Go Manly!

 

[stoodamire]

Gonna chuck a lazy $5 on Tigers. They’re paying 6.50 on Sportsbet at the moment.

Win/Win either way then.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Never an easy game in the NRL. Look at Cowboys vs Storm last night, and that was with Jake Granville at fullback.

But Tommy will see us home, he'll be terrorising their pair of rookie centres.

 

[Woodsie]

It's a good day to make a statement and come out from under that radar cloud ... send a shot across the bows of the big boys ... Rip in Manly!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

For the next couple of weeks being in the Qld footy bubble will probably help focus all those teams in the log-jam for 7th and 8th, they'll come out fired up as though they're on a Kangaroo tour or something.
Will be very willing, not sure what game plan Tigers could possibly have except bash Manly and try to dominate possession.
Luckily Tigers have a few shortcomings so provided Manly is patient then before too long Madge will be swearing and screaming "Stop the game! Stop the **** game!"

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

We love hot / dry / flat surfaces.

It could be murder on the dance floor tonight.

 

[Brissie Kid]

Manly on the attack & with momentum. Stop the game, stop the game. A Tiger has a blocked nose and needs urgent help. Repeat.

 

[Waz13]

If we play hard through the middle this will be a bloodbath of epic proportions. They also have young guys on the edges who will make poor defensive reads. Their centres will be badly exposed today, especially the new guy on the left side.

 

[ALinda]

This is the highlight of such a **** lockdown week and so looking forward to it!

Welcome back Jake and Josh and awesome to finally have a near full-strength team. Just hope complacency doesn't defeat us.

Stay safe/injury-free and Go Manly!!

 

[Kevinward777]

Go Manly!

Fukk the under the radar OFF ... we are big boys now! .. we can take the attention and exposure, we will have to have "game attitude" if we want to win a Premiership ...

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

Im always worried every game couldnbe a 'danger game' but jeez the side is looking strong for this one.

Was just thinking today that in the past 5 yeara or so we had what 2 or 3 strike players? Turbo Dce and perhaps walker so when we were on we were ok but big chance we could be off and boom there goes the apple cart.

Now thou we have Turbo, foz, dce, Schuster all of which can pull the big plays. Then x factor in Sabb, Paseka, Gauc and better than average in the rest. Its a bloody good looking side.

I was worried about Newcastle and Raiders but seriously we will put a thousand on the Tigpies with this side!

Win/Win either way then.

Ohh how could you .... I'd feel so dirty!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Manly by 6.
Westigers will be fired up, Manly will be calm and measured, class will prevail in the end but won't be the cakewalk some are predicting. Just my hunch 🙂

Guaranteed the Tigers will turn up to play big time today !!

Not going to be easy at all but I think we’ll pull away in the end!!

Predicting a high scoring Manly win...
But not sure how close the scores will be
