Ok Gals 'n guys.

Pre game discussion.

Err...

How good was our win against Parra?!?!?!?!

 

[Dion Johnson]

Ponga looks likely for the Knights, it is close to a must win for them.

We will need to bring the attitude we had today, Manly by 20, easy one to predict Turbo 3 Daly M points.

Another 3 points for Tom from the Parra game. Votes are secret from now on (or from next week on) but he's in with a real shot.

I wasn't sure if he was going to get the 3 yesterday with so many good performances.

Knights: I wonder how Blake Green is playing? A good 6-again conjurer but usually with one eye on his next club.

I wonder how Blake Green is playing?

Hasn't been anywhere near his best...hopefully that continues next week.

Ride the momentum Manly.

Ponga looks likely for the Knights,

O'Brien said in his presser they are hopeful both Best and Pong will be back next week.

 

[ManlyArmy]

For those who were at Bankwest yesterday would have experienced one of the great away day atmospheres and with a trip to Newcastle coming up this Sunday, I’m sure we can get another rowdy, vocal and passionate turnout.

Manly area is located in Bay 60.

[court83]

Many people going to this?
My old boy and I will be there on the tinnies watching a full day of Manly smashing the knights..

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Newcastle wont be an easy game and we will need to be in the right frame of mind to win. Important to back up our momentum and not throw 2 points away which has happened to us in days gone by. Go Manly!

 

[KaZa]

Didnt get an injury update..

Parker didnt finish the game? For Tippytoes to come on.. we had a few injuries.

Is anyone in doubt?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Another day game, wow!
Well, starting daylight anyway.
I expect the Knights to throw everything at this game. Their coach is clutching at straws and can see his next-star-coach reputation disappearing before his eyes. Their camp is less than cheerful, confidence is low.
We will need to withstand their furious opening barrage. I think we will, and will go on to win by 18.

[Oh yes, and for any of you who think I don't know much about footy - where are YOU coming in the tipping comp? Huh? Huh?? lol]

This belongs in the Post Post game discussion of Parra, not the pre game disussion of Knights

 

[QueefRichards]

No room for complacency if we want top 4 position at the pointy end

 

[Shoe1]

Knights probably not easybeats, up at Marathon, and they would be sore about their poor performances. Des will need to ensure that the Manly boys aren't overconfident.

 

[Stewbojevic]

Yesterday was an emotionally driven game, I hope the boys can get up for this week again.

 

[QueefRichards]

Saddler in for Haumole?

 

[Woodsie]

This is another mob of bogans we owe a couple of floggings ...

 

[Woodsie]

Saddler in for Haumole?

Probably, or Cust if fit to 5/8th and Schuster to backrow ... also Karl Lawton and with development players now available we also have Sione Fainu, Kaeo Weekes, and Alec Tuitavake ...

Will be another interesting team announcement this week

This is another mob of bogans we owe a couple of floggings ...

I hate the Knights, with an absolute passion only equalled by how much I detest the Broncos and the Storm. I don't think I will ever recover from our 1997 Grand Final loss to the Knights!!! Any day that we flog the Knights is a good day. We mustn't be complacent though. That never ends well for us.
