PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Storm [Round 24, 2019]

[Mark from Brisbane]

Manly spine = underrated
Storm spine = Bellamy not happy (Brock liability)
Forwards cancel each other out



Easts= 9/10 Cronk, Friend, Keary, Tedesco = real deal

The Storms spine = 7/10 Hughes, Smith, Munster, Ryan P = 4 wins from 6 games

The Raiders spine = 6/10 Sezer, Hodgson, Wighton, Nicholl klockstad = overrated

Manly spine=8/10 Chez, Fainu/API, Walker, Turbo = 5 wins from 6 games

Souths spine =5/10 Reynolds, Cook, Walker, Doueihi, = erratic

Parramatta =5/10 Moses, Mahony, Smith, Gutherson, = overrated

Cronulla = 7/10 Townsend, Brailey, Johnson, Moylan = above average

Broncos = 2/10 Turpin, McCulough, Boyd, Milford = Disaster

Manly win

And Oracles should know!!!

Well seeing as how I'll be there I can only say with my luck it'll be Scum400 by 8.

 

[Normie]

I was talking with Dale “Rowdy” Shearer & he is coming down for the game!

Siro talks to media

Good interviews with a few of the Manly lads.
Siro hopes the big crowd will earn us a couple of crowd penalties, hey I'll be doing my bit. Boo, get off him, off-side, boo, forward pass!! Boo!

Champion fellow Rowdy . I had the pleasure to have a drink with him .

 

[BOZO]

Our passion. belief and resilience will ensure us another win against the Storm

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

For those at the ground can we get a simple chant going at the start?

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT....

 

[HoldenV8]

Great idea to have a young lady to ref, that should cool a few heads.

Anyone surprised that the Storm didn't "rest" some big head players?

Think what you will about Bellamy and his tactics, but he's no dummy. He knows that after the game at AAMI a few weeks ago he'll need the best he can put on the park to combat Manly at Brookvale.

But Des is no dummy either. He'll have the boys primed for this one.

Yardy ! Yardy ! Yardy!
The safe approach is talk up our Forwards !
But every interested onlooker (opposition coaches especially) knows the key match up is our spine v there’s

Manly win

Good accurate ratings...I almost convinced myself Manly are 9/10, but your 8 is fair at this stage, but will be a 9 soon enough.
Only difference to me would be Melbourne also an 8/10.....unfortunately.

 

[Budgie]

Win it for @marga!!!!!!
Saw on Twitter she’s coming down for her first game of the year.

Bellamy is in damage control with his spine at the moment
Even though Munster,CS can’t be underestimated,
Surely !, Hughes and Ryan P are just making up the numbers until Bellamy figures something out
But !!, with 2 rounds left
Best Bellamy can do, is look on with his figures crossed.

There brief history together:
There 2nd outing together with 1 round left
Didn’t look convincing against the Titans
Reeks of desperation
Conversely our spine is much more settled after 6 rounds together
........and just keeps getting better

 

[HappilyManly]

Manly will win by 32

Storm spine adjustment is certainly interesting at this late stage of the season.
Yes Hughes is a good player and Paphouse is a dangerous runner, but its clear Bellyache is worried about the previous formation to the point he is willing to gamble.
In seeking a way to beat the Chooks he may end up missing the grand final altogether, here's hoping so.

Beating storm must surely make the chooks a tad hungrier and they play the rabbits next week. Big game for us that one
