PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Penrith [Round 4, 2021]

[Rosko]

Quoted,

Just in case proof is required!

I’ll eat Scott Penn. um, let me rephrase that...

 

[Eagle thru 'n' thru]

Funa to me is the same as Parker in a way in that he's got no pace.

He's got more pace than Tony Satini

 

[HoldenV8]

Funa showed he had better hands though last year. Parker hasn’t done anything to give confidence in that department this year

Don't get me wrong, I do think Funa even now is a better player and has a higher ceiling than Parker. But as far as pace is concerned, neither have any to speak of.

Show up you mugs.

 

[Brocky]

Name one player we have would make the panthers team?

You have to be kidding, the guy can’t run out of sight in a dark nite

Teams with momentum regularly score 3 tries in 10 mins. I expect Penrith to have momentum for 80 mins. That's 8 x 18, giving a final score of around 144-0.

I was about to laugh out load...and then I thought for a bit and swallowed deeply.

Your post was actually funnier than the post you replied to....then I stopped laughing to.

 

[Brissie Kid]

Getting to 100 in a game is not impossible, especially under the NRL's current rules and referees that favour teams with momentum.

The record halftime score ever is 48-0 Knights v Cowboys in 2003.

In their 1935 win Canterbury scored 60 points in the second half.

And those Canterbury scores in 1935 would be 110 and 106 under today's 4 point tries.

 

[Brissie Kid]

Most points scored against Manly ever.

72 Manly 12 Penrith 72 in 2004 / coach Hasler
68 Manly 6 Cronulla 68 in 2005 / coach Hasler
61 Manly 11 St George 61 in 1947 (3 pt tries) / coach Johnson
56 Manly 24 Bulldogs 56 in 2003 / coach Sharp
56 Manly 12 Newcastle 56 in 2004 / coach Hasler
56 Manly 24 Roosters 56 in 2018 (Brookie record) / coach Barrett
56 Manly 16 Souths 56 in 2020 / coach Hasler
52 Manly 10 Penrith 52 in 1999 / coach Sharp

Above doesn't include the two 68 points hidings the 2002 Nthn Eagles (Manly) copped, one of which was 68-28 at Brookie vs Penrith. The most points scored vs Nth Eagles in 2000-01 was 52.

Wonder what the players are feeling about their chances.. especially if they read this!

Come on guys. Manly by 2. Upset on the cards 😉

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

There’s two scores I keep coming back to,

74-4

And if we drag them down to our level with complacency,

36-10

Hope it’s the latter one.

Yep and I instantly laughed and now don’t think it’s funny either.

 

[Rafferty]

The only thing getting upset tonight will be my family putting up with me during the game

The Panthers have a Quality team across the park

But Passion with Aggression can Control Quality

We Drag them down to our level tempo as you say

And than we Bash them Belittle them and Beat them

Kakou can not run without legs and Cleary cannot smile with a lose jaw

Go the Mighty Sea eagles

Lets do it !!!
