Game Day: Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

[Rosko]

Belinda Sharpe is an excellent ref.

Agree, the game is more likely to be fair with Bindles than most of the other options.
But being Sin Bin Week it could still be a lottery.

 

[Woodsie]

But I’m also drunk when I’m weirdly pessimistic.

That is the inevitable conclusion when the glass is empty ..

 

[Rosko]

I'm not sure what to expect here .....
But the ONLY thing I want is 100% effort, regardless of result
Yes I want the W....but the frustrsating thing in recent games is lack of aggression, attitude and pride in the Seaeagles jersey....apart from Hoppa and maybe Bull and Haumole 2nd half last week....were just so flat

I would settle for losing like Souths last night - clearly playing a better team, but giving it all they had. Not losing like us in the Dargons game - playing a crap team, with no effort and pride.

 

[Rafferty]

Really struggling to be positive at all about this game. Don’t think our forwards will have any hope against their pack - I’m not one of those that think Navale is the messiah. We don’t have halves that can win us a game. They’re just not match winners. The only ‘positive’ is that turbo is back. But looking at his strapping, I’m not filled with confidence - Bruce Reid comes to mind. Anyway, would be delighted to be proven totally wrong. 🤞🏻 Go Manly.

Well the good news is even Reidy took 13 wickets in a match…….

You just know at least one of our dumb players will do something stupid to get 10 in the bin.

I did say at least one to cover myself.

How's palm beach changing!
Every street has a knockdown - rebuild underway.

Left Palm Beach in 77, went to Yamba for a while then to where I am now, near Byron, but yeah unrecognisable today

The units beachside and big box homes on the canals.

Wonder what Jazz for a binning is paying on sports bet. Short odds I reckon.

 

[Bradza]

If you keep your head, while everybody around you are losing theirs ... you obviously don't understand what is happenng ..

I always wondered what the E stood for? Eagle?

Palmy was a welfare junkie sh*thole when I moved to Burleigh Heads in 1991. Full of public housing asbestos dumps. Wish I'd bought a couple back then. Now millionaires row.

Will be interesting to see this more mobile pack. Less slow plodders may improve our ability to keep up but still think we're running out several injured players. Turbo, DCEs back ?? , Brown, Bullemore, Olakau'atu. Too much to ask. Penny's by 24.

Who knows the way some games go this could be a win for Manly
Many changes if and if they can do the simple things right could just be Manly’s night
GO MANLY

Looking good there Cam. I do miss the SE/Asian adventures.

Hope Tom get's through the game and drags us over the line that would make my weekend.

I would also like to see less set restarts (S.R), penalties (Pen), and errors given away by our guys and especially from:

• Burbo (7 Games - 5 x S.R, 5 x Pen, & 7 x Errors),
• Haumole (7 Games - 2 x S.R, 5 x Pen, & 6 x Errors),
• Luke Brooks (7 Games - 2 x S.R, 3 x Pen, & 7 x Errors),
• Jazz (7 Games - 4 x S.R, 4 x Pen, & 2 x Errors),
• DCE (7 Games - 1 x S.R, 3 x Pen, & 4 x Errors),
• Garrick (7 Games - 2 x Pen, 3 x Errors),
• Lehi (7 Games - 4 x Errors)
• Tolu (6 Games - 2 x Pen, & 4 x Errors), and
• Turbo (3 Games - 8 x Errors),

 

[madmax]

Just one?

Jrbo is not playing so doubt it!
