PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Bulldogs [Round 3, 2020]

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

This game will be a grind. Manly 12 Dogs 6.

But why they are crap.. no foran two reserve grade halves. Bad fb no xfactor... 30 plus

 

[Clint]

Us by plenty.

Canterbury Bulldogs had been buoyed by the news that their best player is fit and raring to go this weekend against Manly.

With a very good record against the sea eagles, Matt Cecchin is looking forward to exploiting the new 'six again' rule for when Jake Trbojevic lays on a tackled player for .2 of a nanosecond.

Looks like being a fairly dry track which should be a positive for Manly . Defence has to be the corner stone again and should have enough in attack to get the job done . Can "t underestimate the Dogs , finished well last season and Pay will have them at least competitive . Fan of Paseka but was surprised to see him in the 17 man squad . Keppie seems well regarded and most likely has even more improvement . .

Boyle did really really well in games 1 & 2 but I guess “ In Des we Trust”.

Manly by 10. Think we will be a bit rusty, and doggies only know how to defend, no attack for 5 years now.

Rule refresher: Don’t forget there were a host of rule changes brought in to start the initial season, including a captain’s challenge per team until unsuccessful; 20/40; the banning of tackling a player in the air; and three options to feed the scrum.

All the rule changes are designed to lead to more tries so I applaud their intention.
I hope they work.

We love more tries , except the ones against us!!

At first I saw this as a danger game, but running my eye over the squads we are much stronger all over the park and I fully expect us to put them to the sword by 20+. They will score no more than 2 tries, worst case scenario.

Wtf.. limited attack 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 boy are you gonna be suprised this sunday

We've scored 1 try in 160 min. We are limited with slow centers and wingers.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Well the tipping comp pickers are now 80/20 to Manly ( the reverse a few days ago).

Honestly we should win it , but I doubt it will be a cricket score.

It's not a great stat for sure but it was against the 2 best defensive sides in the comp.

That’s short for us given both teams backing up after a long spell in the paddock. We should win and win well but....

Ten best Sea Eagles wins at Central Coast Stadium

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles will be hoping their good run of form at Central Coast Stadium continues with a series of ‘home’ games there this season.

Garrick is very fast and jorge can move once he gets started. Watch turbo rip them a new 1. Im watching the roosters round 2 game and they struggled to contain him. The puppies will be easy pickings and im expecting a beat down. 36 to 6 if they're lucky!

Garrick is not slow!

On NRL360 Tooves was saying that Api will be the buy of the year for the Panthers and Levi won’t replace him very well, he said it’s our big weakness.

He may well be right.
