Pre Game thread: Manly v Sharks [Week 1 Finals, 2019]

[HappilyManly]

You have got to be kidding
This is now beyond a joke
Todd tried with the fan to get the game moved failed
Todd tried with the asbestos to get the game moved failed
Todd gets refs who hate manly with a passion and see us get flogged done and a success
There is no groud this man we got to see us destroyed

Character building for Manly

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

It’s 17 on 17* once they cross that line Mark. If we come with the right attitude, focus and application we will win this game. The sharks have been nothing short of inconsistent all year and are lucky to be playing finals.
(*13 on 13 really after crossing the chalk but you know what I mean)

Yes I do know what you mean but you don’t have to be a genius to see we are seriously undermanned in comparison.

At full strength I think we’d be right up there with the top 2 contenders BUT we’ve only limped into the finals so I’m just being honest in saying what I am.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Checcin I don’t mind these days but Perenara , well he’s just a prick!!

I think we need Klemmer on sideline calling those two clowns effing idiots

It’s a conspiracy I tell ya !!!

That team list has the DES playing Jedi Mind Games feel.

Can't but feel TREX being named means the dinosaur is actually playing this week.

Can Shipley realistically be any chance?

Come on you lot, have you all forgotten about Dessie's famous radar?
All I've heard about all afternoon, even on radio news bulletins, is T Rex.
Meanwhile we select a debutant in the actual 17 along with a bloke who hasn't played for 6 months and it has slipped right under!
Dinosaurs are good for clickbait but I'll be most surprised if he lugs himself onto the hallowed turf on Saturday night.

 

[BrendonStarr]

I can see Tony Williams as a genuine X Factor coming off the bench.

He will be hungry knowing that this would have to be his last real shot at getting a NRL contract.

For a 30 yo his body would have to be fairing better than most with his extended breaks from the NRL.

We can only pray that t rex finally delivers on what he has promised for the past 12 years

A game where he totally destroys the opposition with his size and strength

If only he could play as well as Marty

 

[Shoe1]

My 16 year old son is absolutely stoked that trex is selected. I guess 2011 was a formative experience for him as an 8 year old

 

[Moops]

We just need T Rex or Perrett to play a Paul Osborne type game from 1994.

 

[brad]

Trex is the only forward on the extended bench, I reckon he is only there in case Sipley or Jack doesn’t measure up coming back from injury or there is a training mishap in the forwards during the week

Maybe, but Manly went to the nrl for an exemption so might be be more into it . Seemed to go to lengths to get him in .

 

[Eaglehauser]

You think Des would pick an unfit Sipley - I think he is a reasonably good judge on who to pick.

Des Just naming available bodies at this point - would be dumb move to play him

Jwh free to play vs rabbits just announced he beat the charge.
Not surprised at all sadly
Todd again choosing he favourites

Yet bet if we took Marty to the judiciary we’d lose!!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Evans will get off too at this rate. Next time someone belts Parker high I would prefer the whole team to run in and get even, even if they all get sent off and we lose the game.
For whatever reason, Parker gets hit high more than anyone else I can think of.

Wow! That maggot always gets off hes probably been the most consistent grub for the last 7 years. The stench of politis is in the air

I agree
The Mad Scientist is trying to screw with Guppy heads in their preparation. Hopefully they will spend half a week digging up video of Trex playing for BWSE and stuffing around trying to plan around our 21 and the different combinations. I hope the Guppies are planning around stuff like Parker to Second Row, Walker to CEntre, Trex to Five Eight etc
Let them try and guess what Des' plan is. Naming Trex in the 21 is a great tactic!

Yep, Uncle Nick to the rescue
