[Dan]

This is going to be a tough ask we need to tighten up or Johnson will bust us open up the middle.

Most important game of the year

 

[Pittwater Legend]

I'm pretty sure that Matai will be playing for the Warriors this week

 

[dowdz]

Tough couple of weeks coming up. Warriors have been playing good footy. This will be a cracking game. Then the short turn around next week, big test for the boys.

Johnson is good with the ball in hand, but woeful in defence. He had two bad misses late in the game against the Broncos that cost them the match. Foz should pick him out and have guys run lines at him all night.

We have a great record against these guys (17 wins from 25) and have won 8 from 11 away from home against them. We should win.

 

[Brissie Kid]

We're stuffed. Can't stand the way he officiates Manly games. Too arrogant in my opinion.

[Jerry1]

We are by far the better team, there are a heap of things going against us, short turn around and home advantage but I really expect us to win this one. Not runaway winners but another tuff grinding game.

Would love to have been able to make it across the ditch for this one. Must do the lotto more.

 

[Brissie Kid]

The NRL have set Manly up for an ambush in NZ. Hard game at Kogarah and then have to fly to NZ to play on just 5 day break.

They did the same to the Panthers over last two rounds & they only had to go to Sydney to get flogged.

The NRL talk about player well being and looking after the players health and prevent injuries by decent recovery times but then put a team on an airplane to fly overseas to play 5 days later against a monster pack. Then its fly home on another 5 days short break to face the Broncos.

The NRL have set Manly the same short break in Rounds 23 Gold Coast with 24 Eels, then in 25 Penrith followed by 26 Cowboys with long flights to Gold Coast & Townsville. Just what the club needs a week before the first semis.

That's 4 times we have the 5-day break in the final 7 rounds. Joke NRL.

 

[mozgrame]

We will lose this game.

Mate it's only a few hours flight over there. The warriors do it every week. No more than a delayed flight to brizzy and probably shorter than to Townsville,

 

[manlyfan76]

Long flights to Gold Coast.
I'm guessing you don't fly much

 

[BOZO]

We will fly like Sea eagles over there and devour the Warriors

 

[mickqld]

As usual we will be the better team but get dudded by home town whistle clown decisions. Real score should be Manly by 10. Actual score will be Warriors by 12.

 

[Eagles2nv]

This will be a tough game. The worriers in NZ usually step up, plus we have a 5 day turn around.

If we want to win this game we need to shut down Johnson and that astound hopefully keep their spine quiet.

Our forwards need to have a big game this weekend.

 

[double hoops]

Land of the long white cloud. You know in front of their family would be a good time to give Epa or Ligi a run. Esp if Nami is out. Shame Tyson didn't get more minutes last night. Hasson or JSL are great in the back row but we just need that little bit of extra size playing up front.
