just starting this thread earlier than normal

 

[HappilyManly]

Most of our players will have June 22nd weekend off, so I'm hoping that they 'turn up' for 80 minutes

Very important period coming up for us

Dragons looked good against a sh*t team - We looked bad against a sh*t team.
Hopefully the Dragons are overconfident (and tired) and Des gives our boys a good kick into gear this week. No excuses not to give 100% this week.

 

[The Wheel]

Back at Lottoland should help us - we are due to give to the Dragons.

 

[The Who]

What is our win/loss record against Illawarra?
I reckon it must be five years since we've beaten them.

2016, we won 36 - 6.

They are looking at 5 in a row next weekend.

They have been our hoodoo team for most the the NRL era, although we beat them 3 in a row in 2012-2014. We have only beaten them 9 times in the NRL era.

Sims is sweating on that hit on Cogger. Could be facing time off if charged. https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nr...e/news-story/4ad06c2f8b81f07183fc13afe803be3e

From what I see it could go either way, but knowing our luck he will play.

Nah, he'll get the Manly Loading and get off.

 

[SeaEagle21]

I hope he is missing but if there was ever a text book hard legal hit on a half that was it. Timed to perfection but probably partly due to getting the kick away later than he should have.

Sims is the type of player i would love to have in our side

Brett Kimmorley says
The Trbojevic boys are back together, Cherry-Evans is there, and Des Hasler has Manly flying. But Corey Norman adds enormous attack for the Dragons. They'd lost five in a row then all of a sudden the return of Norman was a huge boom for them. I think they can cause an upset on the back of a Corey Norman masterclass in this one. Dragons by 8.

The shame of it is when Manly put up a preview of the game on their site. It's just the one from nrl.com.

I'd prefer W. Cousins to do one so we don't have to read noddy bleating manly lose every pre game.

They are funny to read as he rationalizes why Manly will win but then tips our opponents

100% agree - an enforcer in our pack would really inspire and motivate the big boys. It's one of the missing pieces to a premiership puzzle imo.

 

[KenArthursonStand]

does anyone know about the community jersey for the game against the Dragons?

This was in the game day information

Game Jersey
As part of our URM Community Round, the Manly NRL team will wear a special community jersey featuring Melanoma Institute Australia and Bowel Cancer Australia on the sleeves.
