Game Day: Penrith v Manly [Round 8, 2021]

[Kevinward777]

I want to see a win, closely flowed by an 80-minute performance.

Game day...

Maaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnly!

How good is it to wake up on gameday and be excited instead of dread.

I'll say, is it three yet, is it three.

 

[40 years an eagle]

This is a BIG step up. The first 20 minutes will define the game.

MIGOTY!! (for real this time)

Playing for a top 8 spot if knights or warriors lose. More importantly we need to cement the confidence and trust that the team has been building over the last month.

Manly by a DCE field goal.

Yep, they’re pretty much full strength I believe. We’ll truly know where we stand after this game.

Only Momorovski missing and with the form of Burton he probably doesn't get back to the starting side.

Game day...

Maaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnly!

Have ya heard about the Midnight Rambler?

 

[Will on the hill]

Blacktown on Fox now! Perfect way to kill the slowest 2 hours of the week.

 

[47MVEagle]

Tuipoluto 18th man?

Actually, Burbo not named for Blacktown so he must be 18th man?

 

[ALinda]

I sense a season defining game coming up...

Definitely!

Against a near full strength Panthers team, every player will have to be at their best. They're due for a loss and why not us to inflict it

Go Manly!

Tuipulotu is playing centre for Blacktown (who are currently down 16-0 after 19 minutes against Penrith). So maybe Ben is 18th because he's not in the Workers side today.

Jorge looks fit, but unless there are injuries I can't see him breaking into firsts anytime soon.

You know, people thought Phil Gould's 5 year plan was a big failure because they didn't win a first grade premiership in that 5 years. But the reality is we are seeing the fruits of that plan now. Penrith are ladder leaders in the NRL, NSWRL and SG Ball. It was about strengthening the club for the future and in that sense, the plan was a success.
