[HappilyManly]

Soooo, who do we play next week......

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

The reduction from 21 to 19 will be a clear indicator of where we are headed.

At this stage I’m buggered if I know.

Soward & Elliot both tipping the Sharks as you'd expect

I’m surprised ANYONE is picking us!!

We have no chance. Non. Zero. ;-). And DES might just like it that way.

By putting walker to fullback worries me some. Surely Walker realises there is no future at fullback for him, with Tom having secured that role.Well I know one thing for sure. Either this is going to be a special win for us or a total disaster. I would of thought Walker to center.Who knows, des might have him play Santa.Not fullback please.

Funny what sticks in the mind. In the 1978 semis Manly took a 1-0 lead over Cronulla thanks to a Johnny Gibbs field goal. The Sharks won that game , but we all know who won the premiership in the end.

What odds a DCE field goal for a 1-0 lead or even a 1-0 win.

More likely 34-32 score game I think.

All will be known in a couple of days, but I wonder if Des is contemplating playing Garrick at fullback & promoting Funa to wing?

The answer your hunting. Is CadeCust.

So is it this afternoon we go back to 19??

That in itself will be telling.

7:50 tonight is the time.
Squad gets cut 24 hours before kick off.

A casual reminder that T-Rex is a Queensland Cup winning 5/8.

Could you imagine...

He’s been useless anyway so no big loss.

Thank goodness we didn’t waste our money on him.

All we need is SJ to pull his quads again and they lose their goal kicker

Always puts in a blinder against us , as does Sharon woods.

 

[susan]

For all the **** Woods gets, most of it deserved , he has been very good of late so will be a danger.

Only difference is that unlike 1978, if we lose this time out then there is no tomorrow as far as 2019 is concerned.

Yes but not until after kickoff, please.

Des Hasler on Tony Williams (Sky News): "Tony's a pretty seasoned campaigner, you know he's played numerous grand finals, he's played in pressure games so, he knows what he has to do. He'll be coming off the bench as interchange, but at the moment he's on the extended bench."
