Pre-Game Souths v Manly [Finals Week 3, 2021]

[maxta]

Just got our tickets - 6 extra's joining the fun in section 318 - Lets make some noise - MANLY supporters ONLY !!

 

[Pittwater Legend]

I reckon if we start strong, keep the error count low and tire them out a bit, it’ll negate South’s benefit of having the week off.

But if we play loose, they’ll find it easier to roll through us

 

[Mitch]

One thing you do know is Des will have them primed - he’s never lost a preliminary final.

 

[Waz13]

Far out, Klein's the ref. Not sure whether to laugh or cry...

You have got to be f$&@en kidding me! This bloke should not be near first grade let alone a prelim!

 

[Waz13]

Fire up mate! Im keep an eye out for you

310 for me. If we lose look for the 11yr old in the Cliffy indigenous jersey wanting to fight any Souths fan within striking distance! As a parent I’m working on his competitive attitude…….

 

[Waz13]

fascinating game, I think the teams are even in the halves, we are way ahead in fullback, cook ahead of croker.

Cook not by a lot over Croker imo. He’s that important for us.

You have got to be f$&@en kidding me! This bloke should not be near first grade let alone a prelim!

There ain't a vast talent pool when it comes to referees. But G-string and Cummins are by far the worst of a very bad bunch.

 

[malroon]

Don't mind losing this one, as long as its a fair contest... GO MANLY..!!

 

[ALinda]

Don't mind losing this one,

😱 I will mind if we lose!

**** that @malroon . Go Manly. Manly by 8.

Agreed @Shoe1 . Outside backs are close but I think we just shade them with our wingers. Their centres are better in attack, but our centres defence is better then theirs. Packs are equal, but I think their bench is also just better then ours.

 

[eagle66]

I just hope we treat this game as a semi and turn up with intensity. That will close out the rabbits.

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

Makes me think they could also be very very nervous, their 0-3 staring down the barrel at 0-4, I have them locked in as perineal prelimers, up to our lads now to keep it that way and Wayne, we’ll we will be spoiling his farewell from the burrow.

I think the word you were looking for was perennial, but perineal works just as well for that bunch of cardinal and myrtle a$$holes

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

I’m starting to wonder if it’s weather.

Let’s not forget winter in QLD is like summer.

I live just south of Brisbane , most days here during winter are 20-24 degrees with lows of about 12-13.

You don’t have to go much further north and it’s plus 10 degrees on each ( in winter ).

Just a theory though.

Perhaps but there are a lot of countries in the same weather zones who have been decimated. The closed boarder obviously has worked to an extent but also the ratio of space to people. Its like anything if your number is up its up and luck could or couldn't be a defining factor.

Here in London I don't think I had it but we had 60000 positive cases a day at one point and with my job I was out in it a lot of the time. So am I 'Lucky or is it fate?. Who the F knows.

What I do know thou is fate deems we skin the rabbits this weekend and take revenge on the storm the week after.

**** that @malroon . Go Manly. Manly by 8.

Ashley Klein has survived a refereeing howler that robbed Parramatta of a crucial penalty last weekend to retain the whistle for Friday night’s massive preliminary final between Manly and Souths.

Klein will referee the blockbuster despite NRL head of football Graham Annesley admitting the officials made a crucial error in the Eels semi-final loss to Penrith.

Meanwhile, the Panthers private point of contention with Gerard Sutton officiating when they play the Storm is set to continue in their grand final qualifier on Saturday night.

Same with me, 6 of us all Manly fanatics in section 317, Manly supporters area. Not the greatest seats, we're tucked in the corner somewhat, at least we are with our people/tribe and will be making our presence known.

 

[Captain Moondog]

It's not a matter of if he ****s up, it's when. Annesley can explain it all to us next Monday.

 

[Captain Moondog]

They don't mind the Klein selection over at The Warren

"dont mind klein, hes fair."

"Agree BR, it will be Klien and there will be very limited to no 6 agains"

"Klein may end up getting the GF"

"At least Klein onfield doesn’t have any statistical correlation with overachievement by either team (trying to put it the best way I can regarding the data).
In other words, however good or bad he may be, he’s basically equally good/bad for both teams."

At least they agree with us on one point
"Annesley is a dope"
