[Andyvb88]

With the game speeding up, I hope Des considers running with waddell keppie and JetSki, waddell and keppie both cover prop and JetSki covers back row and centres

Funny but I was more nervous last week than I am this week.

It will be most interesting the Squeals will finally play a decent team, and probably fold like a pack of cards.

Many posters in this thread are very confident of a Manly win. I am confident, but cautiously so. The Eels are a good side, have been playing well and have an excellent record at BankWest. Fortuitously, the empty stadium should neutralize their home ground advantage. The make up of the two sides is somewhat similar. I think the Eels have more potent three quarters, but I think we have a tougher pack with more go forward. The main differential, of course, is our x-factor Turbo, but maybe another of our backs will shine on the night. Our goal kicking needs to be on song, as Moses won't miss many (if any). Sea Eagles to win!

Match ups all over the park. This game will be epic

A Bucknall, Spud, Igor, Rambo, Gillespie or Ian Roberts would come in real handy today. I hope Jetski is in the mix.

Yes agree , Sandwhich can’t afford to miss 5/6 this week as that’ll be the game.

I expect it’s possible going to be another high scoring game , just hope it’s us with the higher score.

Funny but I get more nervous about the games we are expected to win easily as do many times we don’t , whereas the ones we are expected to lose ( against better opposition ) we almost always win.

Yep, that's exactly why i'm nervous...we all expect them to win this.

We do but no one else does and that’s what counts most!!

Heading out for our afternoon walk ( second for the day) and when I come back I’m being a lazy slob and sitting in front of the Telly for about 3 hours. Already done 12,000 steps for the day but we’ll have 20k by 5pm.

I’ll be almost fit enough to pull on a jersey soon , but sadly about 45 years too old to do so!!

 

[Bradza]

Saw the Manly team bus drive past us on Delhi Rd about 2:30pm heading out to the game. The bus looks great. Do us proud boys.
