PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Warriors [Round 9, 2021]

[manly al]

Completion rates and defence has really improved in recent weeks and if they maintain this , should have them well on their way for an obvious very important win . So much better co ordination in attack also . Haumole can also fill in as a prop if needed if the prop rotation is not going the best and Suli may be needed to put some time in the back row . keppie does need to step up a bit , Paseka is generally putting in good minutes and fairly hopeful that Toff and Saddler will do what is expected of them . Jake and Shuster have been top shelf . If the kicking game is also in order , and again if the defence holds up, think that there is enough points in the side to get the job done .

I can’t remember the last time we played well and got the win in front of exalted guests of honour. Hopefully this year is different.

This one has concerned me for a while too but that has usually coincided with a wet track as well which is never also usually conductive for Manly sides to traditionally do well . Think that it is a dry track today so that should help

Should be OK, I've asked them not to make a big fuss about my attendance today 😉

Massive game.

 

[BoomStickBarbie]

I've got a bad feeling about this

May the force be with you then...

Win by 22 and we are in the 8....

Win by 22 and we are in the 8....

I will just be happy with the win by however many, but would love to see us step up and control the game well and come away with a dominant win that puts us in the 8

 

[Rafferty]

Win by 22 and we are in the 8....

I just looked at the ladder, I was never any good at school but I think we have to win by 42 plus to sneak into the 8

 

[bob dylan]

Win by 22 and we are in the 8....

win by 1 and I will be over the moon.

Na, win by 22

 

[Nimmo]

Correct 22 - the warriors are a step down from penrith and even without a couple of our forwards we should put 20 on them.

Points for us are also points against the Warriors. 22 would do it.

 

[Rafferty]

Yep 22, forgot to factor the loss against the warriors, considering they are in 8th,

I'm pretty happy that we have played Penrith twice already and we could be in the 8 by the end of the day. That's a great place to be considering how tough our draw has been.
