Pre-Game Discussion - Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

[BOZO]

The Panthers are not back to their best tonight
But they are back to winning and this should give them the confidence they have previously been playing with out

 

[Waz13]

It all changed after Dce came out publicly. His individual form has dropped considerably also

I’d be happy to get rid of him now tbh.

Meanwhile we have loads of troops out and down on form. I think they will beat us by 50, sadly 😥

Easts are ordinary, but this win will give Penrith a boost of confidence. We get stuck in and target them in the middle we might be a show.

If he keeps playing like a mule then we should drop him. He looks like he doesn't give a damn. What the hell happened

 

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

I honestly dread to think what our "forward pack" will look like against Penrith. And now Easts are helpfully playing them back into form!

 

[The '47ers]

Yes prepare for deeper ramming 😮‍💨

Does anyone know if @Wombat64 has PayPal?

50 could be at half time

Body language between Seifold and our Giraffe looks terrible.

Wait… he did what? Kudos for his bravery, especially on a team of rainbow-hating Bible bashers like ours. I thought he had a pretty settled life with the wife and kids, but the heart wants what it wants.

After tonight's hiding of the Rorters, the Panthers will put 50 on Manly easily.

Another customer for @Wombat64

Out west to Broken Hill , then up to the Flinders Ranges , up to Coober Pedy , then across the Painted Desert to join the Oodnadatta Track.

Then we were supposed to be going to Innamincka along the Strezlecki BUT it’s currently flooded and could be for months.

So , well to work on a Plan B if that’s the case

Enjoy mate.

All we can do is show up and put up a good show .
We dont want to come out waving the white flag
We want to come out waving our fists and come out fighting till the end
If we do that we give our selves a chance

Sounds Great feathered friend
Stay safe and Enjoy the Journey

I hope mrs mfb has recovered enough to deal with the trip. (I guess so otherwise you wouldn't be going).

Please find (and give me for free) a nice opal.

Nth Americans don't seem to know 2 things:
what a wombat is (tragedy), and
how awesome opals are.

that's your plan 'a' and only plan for me.

yay!

er

Go Manly!

 

[manly al]

Might be not so bad if Taukeiaho and Aloiai can start as props and Bully hopefully available .
Probably can rely on or expect Jass or Brown to be in the prop rotation then with Navale and Waddell in the forward mix as well .
Just can 't be sure with Turbo , maybe he can be right but will achieve nothing if he isn 't and just add further problems for a bit of continuity and no doubt Lehi was Manly 's best performer at the back against the Saints .
Club 's [ N R L ] form and consistency apart from the Bulldogs still all over the place and of course a win next week , then apparently the bye could get Manly 's season pretty much going in the right direction again
Panthers apparently showed that they are far from a spend force from last night so additional pressure for Manly coming up .
How to get the timing and a bit of fluency back into the attack again , another high priority but guess that it has to start primarily with D C E and Brooks being a bit more attuned

Yeah she’s going well , still pretty slow and a bit of a limp but she’s able to do everything now.

Other than the Dogs form ( perfect ) even the other top sides are getting unexpected losses.

 

[Eagle 1]

No Jake , no Sipley, definitely and possibly no Bulle , no Brown next week.
How's the pack looking.

8. Tevaga
9. Simpkin
10 TKO
11. Olak
12. Burbo
13. Navale

14. GCKT
15. Patolo
16. Waddell
17. Arthur

Mate, we are going to be skittled unfortunately. Bit concerning about back fence Brownie, gets injured everytime he plays, then misses the next 2.
