PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Penrith v Manly [Round 8, 2021]

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

If you watch the replay you will see that our one on one defence was ordinary in our back line and all Those players also need to step up against the Top of the table teams
The Panthers are no Toothless Tigers

Ive watched it at least 3 times now. Yes we could be better but compared to those first 4 weeks we are at least 75% better.

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

Look at it as a positive. We wont play the panthers again until the GF.

If they make it

We have improved indeed . The Premium top of the table Panthers defence does not leak points like the other 3 teams that we defeated .

All 17 cylinders of ours have to be firing and in tune with one another
If we are to have any chance of beating the Panthers

Even if we dont beat them its good playing them so we can learn from those loses... we lost to storm twice in 2008 if im not mistaken. We all know how that went down

Excuse me feathered friend

The Panthers all ready gave us a hiding and a lesson at lottoland a few weeks ago

We do not need another lesson . We need another win to make it 4 in a row

I am 100% confident Turbo stops most if not all of those Panthers tries with his defensive reads, size and ability.

Watch the video again and look at just how soft most of those were. DW was either not in position or prentended to be a roundabout for most and the edge defence was loose as ****.

Throw in some of our new found attack and this match could be a lot different.

Of course Tommy and the boys could turn in a shocker and the riff put the cleaners thru us again but im feeling a tight win for us. 42 - 10 go Manly......

It's true, watching those tries it looks to me like swapping Turbo for Walker and Harper for Suli stops almost all of those tries. Just those two changes.

So You must have missed Parkers missed Tackles and lack of speed to keep up

How sweet a win against the Premium Panthers will be

It would be at the back of our great effort and It would also rate one of our great wins

To win as a favourite is a fine win .

To win as an Under dog is a FANTASTIC win

Juicy odds, buy yourself 2.

Yeah picked up ok odds, wish I'd done it yesterday. My mate owed me $50 and hadn't missed it so pushed it straight on. No harm no foul

Well i did say even IF we lose 🙂 i think we are in the right position to beat them, they have won many in a row now its time for a loss.. containing fisher harris and kikau will be key. Also Api is back (fml) so need to target him and tire him out he wont have match fitness. Tom will exploit this! Could be game of the year!

He is deadly when running the footy, the step is crazy, has a kicking game and not scared to take on the line...

Despite all those, his most dangerous attribute is his huge cocky grin. He looks like he is enjoying himself and that has to give his teammates a big boost.
I actually like him as a player but hate him in the classic Richard Hadlee/Wally Lewis manner for obvious reasons.
Does he line up against Foz?

Manly win into Tom and Guac ATS paying $51.50

Mate if your entire Sportsbet account balance is $0.14 then it is superfluous to say you never win

 

[Deleted member 26876]

Tapow has started some games this year and Aloiai has not. So I'd break it down into impact as a starter and impact off the bench.
Further to that who were the opposition props to start each game compared to their bench props. Roosters had JWH off the bench and tigers had Nellie.

good points

maybe if there was a thread for it down the line i'd look into it but cbf atm

I'm up on last week, so I lied a little bit.
