PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Raiders v Manly [Round 6, 2020]

We are probably overdue to lose to the Raiders, and rain historically doesn't seem to suit Manly.
Nevertheless I'm expecting our side to be focused and disciplined and to win what will certainly be a very tough game.

You have succinctly summed up my fears for this game... at least it's not just me I guess...
 
Elliot and Garrick together on that right edge worry me. Wighton is a good runner of the ball and I presume Cotric will be on left wing now that Rapana is back. That's a couple of strong runners against a couple of weaker defenders.

Miski on bench intrigues me. Could Des be thinking another last minute switch of Missy for Miski ?? Funa or Garrick to centre and Abbas to wing ?

Taupua would be handy to have, but we can cover him as our middle forward depth is pretty good these days.
Elliot won’t let anyone down. He’ll take his shot v croker. Siro on that edge stiffens there D up as well
 
Noticed one weather report this morning suggesting that the showers in the Sydney area may ease by this afternoon which if does happen , should be a benefit for Manly . Plenty of important match up 's , field position will be critical , quite sure that Manly will not need any extra motivation to put in a big effort today . Winnable match if Manly bring their A game in defense and get a fair shake of the Ref "s calls . . Go Manly .
 
Had a gaze into the crystal ball for this one.....

Despite another woeful kicking game in the opponents end of the field from MDM (hint - look to Charnze for 'Most Metres' honours) and some seemingly inexplicable episodes of 'dropsy' from TT......a superlative day out by Walkz, ablely assisted by Hank with a double and up the middle by Curtis, also with a double, sees the Sea Eagles well into the top half of the table.......
 
It's often these games we kinda expect to lose that we really stand up. On form and team lists you'd think raiders 13 plus but we have a habit of standing tall in the big games and with a 10 day turnaround could really benefit us. A couple big outs in our side but if we are gonna be genuine contenders this year then we need to win these games even without some of our stars.

Didn’t we beat them down there last year with a few out?
 
Broncos were always going be tough coming off a 59 0 flogging. Most teams always fire up the next match.we weathered the storm and still got the win. Beat the roosters and should of beat parra. I'd say we are going pretty good.
