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

[Scorpio]

Don't know why Souths are still under the radar. They finished the regular season 1 win behind Melbourne, beat the Panthers in week 1 against expectations and will be fresh after the week off.

It would be a monumental achievement if we beat them.

I'm as confident as I was tonight. Book us in with a redemption game against The Storm in the GF

All I'm saying is last time we played in a prelim, it was against the Rabbitohs AND we won. Great Omen.

WE ARE IN A BLOODY PRELIM!!!! EMBRACE IT MANLY FANS! Just to know how close we are to a GF and a premiership, wow!!!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Nervous AF!!

Memories of both 2013 and that last disaster.

Should be a classic match, I can't wait!
The heavyweights Storm, Pennies and Souths have been duking it out for the last couple of years but as of now Manly is the team on the rise!
Souths premiership window is open right this minute but they've been close to a GF for a while already, and know the opportunities won't last forever. Next year no Bennett, no Reynolds. So if we can put some scoreboard pressure on them early it might get into their heads, because they've lost the prelim for the last 3 years.
Manly on the other hand didn't even have a premiership window. But after a slick renovation earlier this year ... we do now, and how!

Deja vu 2013

I said this last week and was laughed at. I picked a matchup against the Bunnies for the grand final. If we are in the big dance we have a 50% chance of winning.

Do you think the Cane Toads will turn out at Suncorp to watch the match? They have become used to mediocracy for the past two seasons.

No , might get a crowd of about 18k

They’ll go to the GF though

Gonna be sweet mate. My nephew is a bunnies supporter, so beating them would be sexual chocolate. I don't wanna say anything to offend you mate, in case I turn around at Coles and there will be ol' Strone with a glock in my back haha

You could never offend me mate so all good ol son

Need Keppie and Jake chopping down their big boppers like Burgess b4 they get their roll-on

and C Walker and Gayguy , and Des, blocking is ok

and C Walker and Gayguy , and Des, blocking is ok

Gagai is a real confidence player. That needs to be knocked out of him nice and early. His play can really deteriorate quickly with an error or two. And yes, Des blocking is Ok, though hopefully there will be zero need for a field goal shootout

My youngest Eagle, shouted me a ticket to the Souths game, See you there everybody, I'm the old bloke with grey hair and white beard, sitting next to a drop dead gorgeous blond (that's my baby girl).

Ok, don't rub it in, I'm jealous, stuck on the mid nth coast, not far away

 

[seaeagles4life]

It probably wont happen, but i wouldnt mind seeing Lawton start instead of Shoe for the first 20-25 mins then lawton stays on the bench until crocker needs a rest. I feel we may need hard straight line running and defense line speed early before bringing on Schuster to have more of an impact against tired edges.

Foran is back this year, so the 'Hand of Foran' may come back to haunt souffs next week?
