Yeah I admit GI would've looked OK in a Manly jersey if the cards had been dealt differently (NOT instead of Snake, of course).
Am just wondering what Madge will do with Sutton when he's fit now??
G'night nicci, g'night Mark...G'night John-Boy...lol.

The Rabbits confidence is sky high at the moment. They are an extremely well drilled team. Their backs are way better than their previous recent incarnations. Their forwards are scarily strong and fit. They are getting away with laying all over the other team in every tackle without penalty. They play dirty. Buggered if I know how to beat them. Over to you Tooves.

I just realised I have been watching tattoo nightmares on 7 mate and not the footy.

When GI is on his game he is damn near unstoppable, though Snake showed last week it can be done.
Merritt may be the clubs all-time leading try scorer, but Jackson is a definite improvement. He can score tries as well as Merritt did and he's not as much of a turnstile in defence. Keary has got talent, but he's a cat and a grub.
They are beatable, we have proved that once already this year. Part of the problem right now is the free ride they are getting from the pinkos. They're getting away with murder out there while their opponents are getting penalised for the slightest infringement of the rules.

Yep the most important part is they have decent backs now, Walker and Johnston have that extra x-factor that they have been missing in previous years. If Manly play their best footy we can match it with them everywhere except in the forwards where they are clearly stronger, As you said over to you Tooves.

Apart from his ankle injury and his 'personal life' which are often trotted out as excuses, other teams have simply worked him out. They figured out how to shut him down at fullback, and now he's playing in the halves again he simply doesn't have the room to move.
He will need to adapt and put more unpredictability into his game or he's going to be just another flash in the pan. Its Ewan McGrady all over again.

Granted the Vermin are a'hoppin' and it will take one hell of a team, a very good team to tame em.
Fortunately that's Manly!
(Just about put a line through the Bronx now. They'd have to win all 3 of their last games, and 1 is the Scum).
Start planning for Wayne's World 2015-style, Brisbane.
G'night MB, and just to save time...
Goodnight to everyone tucking in early!

I hear there is big news regarding some Sydney team involving the salary 'cap'. Also we might be picking up a big name thanks to that problem...it could be true or BS but we'll have to wait till tomorrow to see what this is all about,

Talking to someone who is mates with the titans ticket and marketing man and he is always amazed when nein say that the titans crowds are 12500 when they are 10,000 at best. So even though they were cough tout inflating numbers a few years ago it seems it still going on.

And there didn't look anything like 14k on TV last night!
Will be interesting now to see what crowd turns up tonight, Dogs/Eels...
And what the official figure gets trotted out.
Come on you Squeels, do em doggy-style!

I'd rather have my team at top for 3 games leading into the GF rather than peaking 8 weeks out from it
We have made an artform out of dropping down between rounds 18-24 and then slowly turning up the wick
I keep saying to other Manly fans I know,we tend to get a bit sloppy toward the ends of the rounds,and when the semi,s come,we then flick the switch,and then we power onKiwi Eagle said:
