The kids did a fantastic job to fillet the Sharks tonight and they will have to play even better to beat the Dragqueens next Saturday. Great effort by them none the less and we have some good talent in our ranks moving forward. I will be out there and I look forward to another big performance.

Go Manly

 

[The Who]

I assume that 'Tent' would be unavailable because of injury if the Under 20s win through to the grand final? I understand that he has a knee injury but is there a report on its seriousness?

Manly has been creating plenty of scoring opportunities in their first 2 finals, they are in with a serious shot. If they took advantage of all their chances in the first half against the Cowpats, they would have blown them away by half time. They're prepared to chance their hand and score some points, they won't die wondering. Really looking forward to this match and hopefully the next one too.

The NRL preview had us winning by 4.... I hope we win by 40! It would be some consolation to make the Grand Final, what a future we have if we can keep our young guns!

I especially like this part:

Why the Sea Eagles can win: He stole the show against Cronulla and you can bet your bottom dollar that Tom Wright will be the key man once again on Saturday afternoon. The rugby convert has been a weapon this season with 18 tries and 11 assists and has torn most defensive lines to shreds with his speed and footwork. His ability to create something out of nothing was on full show last week with two of his three tries coming from one-on-one strips. If he's given room to move then the Dragons will be in for very long afternoon.

Televised: Fox Sports 2 – live coverage from 2:25pm.

NRL.com predicts: Sea Eagles by 4.

 

[Mr Manly 007]

Keith Titmuss should be in the 17, his impact off the bench last week was big.

From our good friend Mr Wayne Cousins.

The belief that ‘finals footy is a whole new ball game’ has certainly rang true over the past fortnight.

One only has to look at what the Sea Eagles have achieved in the Holden Cup. Finishing eighth after 26 rounds, Manly took out the fifth placed Nth Qld Cowboys in week one, and then backed it up by shredding the skin off the Sharks last weekend.



beep beep! (that was me, not Wayne).

Manly NYC (and Cows nrl) prove that playing footy is what wins games.

The dumb trash talk by Manly NRL, cost them their final - leave it to the boxing hoons

Five Manly U20s players have been chosen in the NZ U18 Taurahere team to play the NZ U18 Resident side in Auckland this Saturday.

The Manly players selected include Alfred Smalley, Semisi Kioa, Zaan Weatherall, Keith Titmuss, and Mark Tepu-Smith.

Players from both teams are vying for a place in the Under 18 NZ team to play the Australian Schoolboys side later this month.

With the Sea Eagles playing St George-Illawarra in the Holden Cup Preliminary Final this Saturday, it means only Zaan Weatherall and Mark Tepu-Smith are able to play in Auckland.

WTF does Greenturd do?

Neither the U20 Reps nor the PNG Hunters can play rep footy as it clashes with their finals
