Game Day: Manly v Titans [Round 11, 2019]

[Kiwi Eagle]

Wife and young fella out of town for the weekend, looking forward to getting home, watching a couple of other sports things I have recording, going and getting a hot curry and then settling into watch the game and actually be able to let everything out which I normally can’t do incase I wake the young fella up haha

 

[HappilyManly]

That is why having all these newbies come into the side re energizes the Team

Cade wants to show his wares at Brookie and won't let others complacency impact him 🙂

Manly will relax into the game after posting their 1st try

Hoping to get down for my kids first game at brookie

I hear Arrow is out - Massive loss as his defence is up with the best....the latitude front rowers have had through the middle against Titans has already been the biggest issue - now they face the NRL's best duo....with AFB and Kapow mincing up the middle - the platform will be laid for many attacking opportunities.
Only issue playing an easier side is the defence can lose its intent and impact - contact and stick is vital early to not allow this side a sniff.
In attack,Teams can also fall into playing sideways against games expected to win,rather than earning the right with hard, direct footy first
If the big blokes can blow up the ruck - which they should - will be some great flowing footy.

Mincing.,.....

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Important game, hopefully a good crowd.

Well I'll be there and I promise to be good.

 

[Cliffymagic]

Henry perenara in the bunker. We all know what that means. Expect some reverse decisions and csi of our tries!!.

"In attack,Teams can also fall into playing sideways against games expected to win,rather than earning the right with hard, direct footy first" ie like Parra last night 😉

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

Remember last year. We were what 24 points up and got overrun? Wouldn't expect that to happen this time.

My concern is Ash Taylor. The kid has been hammered all week about being the highest paid player and underperforming. Let's hope he doesn't spark back into action tonight.

On that note how lucky are we to have our million dollar halfback? Cant believe the tits have paid a kid who's done nothing really over a million a season. The world has gone mad..... if Taylor's worth that amount what's DCE really worth?

 

[Shnorky]

It's impossible to go through a whole season without a form slump (I can't think of it ever happening) but - despite the titans woes making this an ideal game of complacency - I just don't get the feeling we are ready to slacken off yet.
For one thing, we have some highly competitive blokes and they would have suffered badly with our miserable results last year, so I'm sure the mood is still super excited and keen.
Of course, some ref shockers and simple dropped ball could bring about our downfall.
But I think a really big win is more likely. I'm looking forward to cheering them on tonight!

We've had 4 form slumps already

 

[Dan]

Well I'll be there and I promise to be good.

Make sure to come say hi. I will probably go to the family hill or the north east corner with the kids

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

I’m not confident on this one, but if we win and Newcastle, Tigers and Sharks all go down we open up a 4 point buffer

You know we are getting old when that sounds like a perfect night.
Gone are the days of strippers and blow .hahahaha

Mincing.,.....

Beat me to it ,was the first thing that came to mind when saw mincing.I know I wouldnt call AFB a mincer to his face.

That must be some hot, hot curry if it usually causes that much of a racket.

Yeah, I was doing a double take at the "hot curry" followed by "letting everything out" as well

 

[Blucky]

May it should be "toilet everything out"

 

[brad]

We'll win this.

 

[mickqld]

We've had 4 form slumps already

3 form slumps and 1 refereeing farce.
In saying that I expect another fiasco tonight.
Titans x 12

 

[Harmless27]

I am feeling very blase about this game - which actually worries the $hit out of me.

I am feeling confident... so much so that I have made dinner plans and just plan to catch the highlights.

Jeez - I should take this more seriously!

C'mon Manly.... get the chocolates and start the weekend off well. At least I can watch the Swans straight after rather than watching the Bongos

 

[Bubbler]

Have a nice feeling about the tits
They could be harder than expected and bounce out

But if we are disciplined and respectful we should be able to get all over them by the end of the night

Go Manly

We will milk them for sure!
