Pre-Game Manly v Titans [Round 9, 2023]

[Once Was Brissie Kid]

So this time next week Manly will be in outright 1st place (beat Titans & Bronx) or around 11th place (lose Titans & Bronx).

The last time Manly were in 1st place on their own was a couple of times during 2014.

Here's hoping it's first place

It is all rather odd isn't it? I'd be fearing for his mental health except that both the captain and the coach have said virtually the same thing ... we support you but it's up to you to get your bloody finger out!

I can't recall coming across something like this.

Never seen anything quite like this. Public vote of (very little) confidence in ‘star’ player by coach and captain?

Could Shoe be missing Donny Singe?
I think he worked with him over the off season.
Maybe the new trainers are not a match for him?

I'm sure it has already been mentioned but we could see some rather heavy rain for the majority of this match. We might have to win this one ugly. At least we have had some wet weather prepping with last week's game. I just want us to win and dominate the Titans up the middle. Would be happy with a 22-12 scoreline or thereabouts.

 

[Alfreddo]

8-25mm of rain forecast today. Fingers crossed the worst of it holds out until later tonight after the game. Looking at the weather now it looks as though we could cop a heavy downpour in the 2nd half. We really need to get off to a good start in this one and hopefully have a 12+ buffer at half time.

 

[winnyason]

Yeah pretty nervous that's a very inexperienced backline. Dce and Olakau’atu need to step up alot.
Hoping Weekes shows us this potential we all know is there

 

[Alfreddo]

This is Weekes' time to shine. I have always believed that he is better suited at fullback. He is good under the high ball and he will have some more space to roam and find/create some space

Yeah this is it Kaeo time. Going to be a grind game assume with weather on the way

 

[double hoops]

Let it rain. Let it rain. Let it rain.

 

[BOZO]

Let it rain. Let it rain. Let it rain.

Rain , hail or shine . The team that turns up wins regardless

 

[mickqld]

I actually think a heavy track will favour us. The Tits rely totally on throwing it around playing touch football. Not conducive to the bog it'll be this arvo. We must maje it a Tough hard arm wrestle grind them down. Give me a 1 point win I'll be ecstatic because I really feel this is one we won't win.
