#MIGOTY

 

[Jatz Crackers]

This stands out as probably the biggest danger game for us so far this year !!

 

[master blaster]

they,ll have to be on their guard against that ponytailed grub in the forwards,who doesnt mind a cheap shot or two,he was number 16 yesterday I think

 

[Stevo]

Do you mean Ryan James?

 

[Flying high Eagle]

Im confident the boys can make it 3 from 3

 

[eagles2win]

Think it's three grades on foxtel for us!

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

@manlyseaeagles Steve Matai pulled up ok and will be good for round 3.

Good news. Thanks BE for the update. Symonds did a good job, but you just can't replace Matai.

 

[master blaster]

Do you mean Ryan James?

yea thats him Stevo

 

[wombatgc]

Saw him play a cpl times last year when coming back through q cup @ Tweed...he fancies himself as a knuckleman...who have we got in that department to sort him??..I'm thinking Richie Fa'aoso might be the man to give it to James??:bash:

[Mark from Brisbane]

Can't wait, and can't believe I get to see my team two weeks apart, almost like if they were based here in SEQ.

Oh well, after that bugger all and more trips to Sydney

OR

Join me in New Zealand for the June long weekend????

 

[COMMANDER]

How's Greg "the glasser" Birds platinum blonde hair do.

Looks like Rutger Hauer in BladeRunner.

 

[manlyfan76]

Mead in doubt with hip injury.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

I don't think we've turned in a strong performance against the Titans since we crushed them 38-4 in a 2009 semi.

I think we can do them 12+ this time around though.

 

[stoodamire]

We blasted them last year in the last game in the 1st half, then just took the foot off the gas.

Clash with Titans sure to have extra heat for Lyon

Jamie Lyon admits there will be a ''bit more spice'' when he comes up against the Gold Coast on Saturday after rejecting their multi-million offer to join them this season.
Lyon, off contract at the end of the year, was offered a mammoth $3.2 million over four seasons to join the Titans after the club lost Beau Champion and missed out on replacement centre target Michael Jennings.
However, the Manly skipper remained loyal and is hopeful of finishing his career at Brookvale Oval.
The 31-year-old, who scored 12 points in a dominant performance against Newcastle, said the Skilled Park encounter may have a different feel about it this time around.

''I forgot all about it until you brought it up,'' Lyon chuckled. ''I guess it adds a bit more spice. There were a few rumours being spread around at the time and it wasn't a real good look.
''It doesn't worry me now, I'm over it. I would only have [entertained it] if Manly wanted to get rid of me or it was over the salary cap and I had to go. I never gave it a chance really, I was never going to leave the boys.''
In fact, Lyon is hopeful of re-signing to ensure that he finishes his career in maroon and white. His agent, George Mimis, has been in discussions with Sea Eagles officials in recent weeks and it's hoped a deal can be struck soon. ''It's going in the right direction and hopefully it will get sorted out in the next couple of weeks. I'd love to stay for a couple more years if it works out,'' he said.
''Definitely it's my first choice, all of my best mates are here and the club has been great to me over the years.''
The former NSW and Australian three-quarter retired from representative football but remains in career best form. Asked if he would consider again making himself available for Origin, Lyon said: ''Probably not. I really enjoyed it when I was younger and had some good times. But I just don't have the passion for it and don't enjoy it as much as I should. I know that probably doesn't sound great and isn't a good look but it's just how I feel.''
Manly have again been in the headlines for the wrong reasons, most recently for their alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs.
However, the club has a knack of performing despite - or perhaps in spite of - the adversity. They will be aiming for their third-straight victory against the Titans.
''We've got a strong group that's been there for a while and we know each other really well … it's always business as usual for us,'' Lyon said.

[Mark from Brisbane]

Always a tough game up there, especially if Checcin is the ref!!

What they don't have is much crowd support, and those that are there are worse than Broncos fans, almost no passion at all.

Heat may have an impact , although its a much later start than last weeks game.

One thing is assured the MWTS will be there in large force and we WILL make plenty of noise.

 

[Andrew..]

Although not serious title contenders, I think this year the Titans have close to there best team since joining the competition....man for man we are by far the better team, but I'll be happy to get out of their with 2 points no matter how much we win by.
