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

[Shoe1]

Except James Graham, he's convinced Manly + T Turbo will be to much for Souths.

So, I said this 2 years ago and it's the same situation again..

My wife has 2 kids with her ex.. one born 2008, the other 2011... I'm sure you know what happened those years...

My boy was born on 2019... We fell 2 short of a gf that year when bunnies knocked us out ..
My daughter was born in June this year, and here we are, 1 game out from the gf playing the bunnies...

Either we win the whole lot ala her first 2 kids, or we get eliminated by the bunnies like her 3rd... I'ma be positive... 2021 title is coming home...

This reminds of me of the time one of our player's contracts (Watmough?) was sent to someone overseas by accident.
If Parker is out bring in Jorge, he'll give them some hurry up

I remember that - it was Marty's contract sent to someone overseas by accident end of 2015 when he was coming to Manly.

I thought Keppie was our best forward last week. He will be missed. Parker was solid but his absence won't be noticed as much as Keppies. I am really hoping that Keppie proves his fitness for the game. Suli could really do a number on Gagai, and unfortunately the opposite applies as well. Suli coming in has obvious advantages and disadvantages for us. Schuster is going to have to step up his defence, which unfortunately is going to impact on his attack. There could be a case for Lawton to start, and keep that edge solid in defence for the first 20 minutes. It's a tough one, but I am sure Des has it covered. Go Manly.

Suli will be against Graham, who is a better defender, but not as much a threat in attack.

So we get our inside Manly info now from Canada? Hey, why not!

why not indeed?

We always tell the truth, and are cuddly!

As has been said, it was Taupau's contract and it was sent to a Canadian theatre critic (of all occupations.)

 

[Dion Johnson]

Suli will be against Graham, who is a better defender, but not as much a threat in attack.

The match up on Graham is a good one for Suli, he will be a handful for their right edge.

Foz and Schuster will be a nightmare for Reynolds, Sua & Graham.

Suli and Garrick have played a fair bit of footy together on the right edge previously.

Waiting on the daughter. She’s been a bit crook. She keeps telling me to go, no matter what. I can’t go without my sidekick with me. So hoping she comes good in the next cpla days. Does anyone know if they’ve set a limit on attendance?

No attendance limit I’m aware of.

Why Manly can reach the grand final​

September 23, 2021 — 5.00am

South Sydney v Manly​

Manly’s edge defence last weekend against the Roosters was really poor, particularly on the right when Haumole Olakau’atu, Daly Cherry-Evans and Morgan Harper were defending together.

Their movements and decision-making were inconsistent: one would go in, another would go out; Cherry-Evans’ spacing with Olakau’atu was too tight, which then put pressure on Harper.
That’s the side Souths like to attack through Cody Walker and his gang. They’ll be coming for the Sea Eagles all night.
Souths’ forwards won them the game against Penrith in week one with fast-moving and aggressive defence.
It was led by the back row of Keaon Koloamatangi, Jaydn Su’A, Cameron Murray and then Jai Arrow when he came on the field, and it will again be critical against a Manly side that likes to use the ball.

The advantage for Souths is Adam Reynolds’ kicking game. In big matches, that is so important, although he offers more than just that.
He’s at the top of his game at the moment. Is sending him off with a premiership before he finishes his career with the Broncos added motivation for the Bunnies?
In terms of a winner, it’s very hard to split them. There will be a point or two in it and it will come down to a piece of individual brilliance from someone.
The two players I’m looking at are Walker and, of course, Manly fullback Tom Trbojevic, a special for the Dally M on Monday night.
The most important match-up for me is Turbo versus Murray in the middle. Even though Trbojevic is a fullback, he is most dangerous around the ruck, waiting for the slightest crack in the defence so he can take off.

Without doubt, Wayne Bennett will be saying to Murray, “This is your tackle”. As it always is. Murray does all that work around the ruck, cleaning up any missed tackles or half-opportunities.
JOEY’S TIP: Having the week off is a huge advantage for the Rabbitohs, but I have the Sea Eagles winning by one.

I hope your daughter gets well real soon.

I also believe the limit on attendance is: be there or be square!

Listening to the mob on NRL 360, they seem to think we are just making up the numbers this week and they have all picked against us. Most of these guys were also picking us to miss the top 8 so go figure. Des and the boys do not worry what anyone think of their chances, they will go out there and make their own chance and history. Good luck boys and “Go Manly !!!”

I will get him on the blower now... There's still time to make one for next season

When we beat the rabbits on Friday night, is their any chance of the Manly boys doing a Menu Log add. So over watching Souths hamming it up !!

Bizarre… this whole article talks about why Souths will win and then tips us. Haha

If we defend like we did against the Storm, we're definitely just making up the numbers.

Defence is what will win us this game as both teams can score at will.

Des has announced this morning that both Brad Parker and Sean Keppie are right to go tomorrow night against Souths.
