Great watch and congrats to the Lawman after so many setbacks. Let's hope the boys go out there and get the win for him and keep the season alive for all the other boys too who've had milestones this year. 🦅

That's awesome, thank you @NREagle and let's hope we get the win for Karl's 100th!

It’s a 1pm game for me here at Coral Bay on the Ningaloo Coast WA ( photo attached ), where today it’s currently 27 degrees ( overnight was 18) and not a cloud in the sky.

By the way , didn’t realise it before we booked but this is backpacker central , chock a block full of French , Swedish , Danish & German girls ( & boys ) in very skimpy swim suits.

It’s a feast for the eyes but won’t stop me watching the game.

I'm going to listen to the ABC online radio broadcast for this one. This is a pretty strong squad we have for this game. I'm sure the boys will be looking to make up for that 2nd half capitulation vs Raiders last time round. Although I expect the Raiders to be highly competitive considering they are still mathematically a chance to make the top 8. I'm hoping we come home with a wet sail in the final 5 weeks of the season so we really need to get the job done convincingly today considering we are close to full strength and the Raiders are fielding a fairly inexperienced squad.

I can see it being fairly close in the first half but I expect us to run away with it in the final 40.

Manly 34 Raiders 12

Game day, what sweeter two words are there??

Manly 13+

Havasook Ricky

Gonna be a tough one today i reckon. Disheartening loss last week for the Raiders, they’ll have some tributes for Papalii’s 300th game and need to win to stay within finals contention. Ricky will have them fired up no doubt, will be a emotional contest for Canberra…

Yeah it’s certainly beautiful

Record away from home this season is terrible. Delayed celebration for Papalii’s 300th game on top of their old boys day sadly I see us not just losing but getting a touch up could be real embarrassing.

Yep! I think the fans are getting a bit too confident!

Hopefully we will have a similar optimistic tone in the post game thread.

Just sayin’

We haven’t actually been “ touched up “ all year. I think 14 points is the biggest margin.

Imagine being on the end of a 44-0 hammering like last night.

Very very tough game today, lose and we are in serious trouble to make the 8. Really hope the boys are fired up!

 

[The Royal Soup]

We should put 40 on these clowns today

Manly 13+

A lose will be completely unacceptable

Love a 3pm game on a Saturday arvo.

The boys are going to take care of business today

Yeah nothing better

 

[mickqld]

Sorry but I don't see anything to suggest today that we will turn around the last 10 yrs of disappointments. Everything to play for today, everyone's hopes high for a run to the finals but it'll be more of the same.

Sorry it’s only 1pm and it’s still about to start

One of my favorite players, we are sure going to miss him next season.

I think it will either go one of two ways , as you say and it’ll be yet another away loss.

Or

They’ll surprise us and give the Raiders a real lesson.

Toss a coin on which one.

If we look good , play well and get a good solid win then I'll say that we've turned the corner in our fortunes. This is a massively important game for this club. I'd say a MIGOTY for sure here. Make or break time.
