Game Day: Raiders v Manly [Round 12, 2023]

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Nervous today, dont really know what to expect.

We can win and win well but we can also offer up a lacklustre effort and lose by 40.

That's pretty much what it means to be a Manly fan these days: can't expect a win against anyone, but knowing it might be possible if things fall our way.

This game will go one of two ways. (Though I suppose there is always the chance of a draw.) 🤓
Can't help thinking it'll be down to how much our players want it.
Would love to see Burbo and Samuela stake a claim for keeping their spots long term.
And a booming Sea Eagle debut for Condon would be timely too!
This game is actually as big a challenge as any we've had all year, so a win will be our best this year.
Go Manly!

Condon had a good all round game in ressies I thought last week, I'm hoping he has a great debut and brings some much needed enthusiasm to the pack, Go Manly

I have found my spare set of car keys after 5 days of looking for them. But can Manly find their inner self and the passion of winning? Come on ''lard arrse Shooey" find your keys and unlock your winning spirit.

We have lost every game I have watched and won the ones I haven't.

I'm travelling home today and could miss the game
Feeling confident

Do it for the team.

It's a solid team on paper

Going to be there this afternoon and I think I might take a coat... 🙂

Pair of pants might help too unless your planning on @The Wheel ing tugger.

 

[Uber Eagle 72]

We really need to win today. We can not get used to losing like we did last season.

 

[eagleron]

Love to see Gauc picked, come back bigger and better. Freddie loves Jake, but yeah surely not Turbo.

Freddie made the mistake of leaving Jake out of game one last year and paid the price, he won't make that mistake again

 

[ALinda]

Nervous today as this game's going to make or break our season, with the ladder being so tight. We desperately need a win to stay with the pack and hopefully/surely the team plays like their lives depend on it.

It will be good to see the "Urbo's" starting together and make their presence felt. Schu needs to start proving he's worth. Hope Condon makes the most of his debut.

Go Manly!!!

I’d be fibbing if I said I wasn’t worried about this one.

Thankfully Boyle is playing NSW Cup, so Jake is playing !

I'm going out on a boat this afternoon for a birthday party. Hope they've got tv reception.

That’s the best news I have heard all day!

That’s the best news I have heard all day!

Sanity prevails

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Manly need to really stand up today , Have showed they can in the past and then been poor today is the day they show they can win games when they matter
Schuster just needs to get through the game with some nice touches nothing silly just gives Manly some other options
Hope Fainu and Condon have good games going to need them for next few weeks
Go Manly

Just this one?, I worry about every game

We really need to win today. We can not get used to losing like we did last season.

It was only the end of last season - middle was OK.

Me too, this game scares me. If horsebreath gets going with his niggle, we will be in big trouble
