Pre-Game Roosters V Manly [Round 21, 2024]

[The '47ers]

I love how our pack has been performing but Radley is their only starting forward that isn't a current origin player. I know the game isn't won on paper but they objectively have the higher rated pack.

But he is an international player!

We are $3.10 on TAB this morning - what do the bookies know that I don’t?

While chickens deserve to be favourite - I can’t see why we are rank outsiders

It's called "managed" sports entertainment controlled by the ones with the most $$$ in their back pocket....Uncle Nick. We are 1000s to win this one. We'll be whistle/bunker clowned out of the contest you can guarantee it.

Using bunker clown as a verb? Outstanding!!

James Hooper is a knob jockey really. He just talks in riddles and spreads gossip. Fox's Danny Weidler

I don't know they people "print out articles and paste them' for inspiration - but there's plenty there for the Manly men to hate and get fired up about.

Ironically, for me, it's 11.10pm (approx) so I'm going to bed.

 

[Once Was Brissie Kid]

All i know is Roosters, Storm and Penrith try to win games inside the first 15 minutes by starting super fast and trying to gain overwhelming momentum and points. NSW succeeded in doing this in Origin 2 under the same referee in charge tomorrow night.

A win here will be one for the ages. The Tommy Turbo factor will be huge for us. Not having Ola is a setback tho, but we've overcome these sort of obstacles before. Carn..Manly..

Uncle Nick isn't going to let some of his best players leave the NRL empty handed. I'm sure he'll manufacture some plan to get his chooks into the GF. 💰

Fun Fact:

Manly have never been beaten at the current Allianz Stadium.

Hopefully the rain clears by kickoff. We do not play good wet weather footy.

I assume the drainage would be excellent at a new ground.

Generally because we still try to play dry weather football...

Yeh but bookies bizarrely had them favourites last week in Melbourne!

They had them favourites at the start of last season and they scraped into the 8... Rorters always look good on paper and are always favourites...

This is totally a winnable game for us... I have no doubt we can score points on them, it is just a matter of whether we can stop them from stripping us on the edges...

We are sitting fifth and have won four of our last 5 games and averaged 12.5 points against us over that run...

C'mon @Rosko - get on board the positivity train mate cause if you can't have hope at this point then fishing may be a better option...


CARN THE EAGLES!!!

I'll try... 😢
