Game Day: Souths v Manly [Finals Week 3, 2021]

[Eagle 1]

"Noice"

I've been up for 9hrs...sheesh

I've been playing the Terminator movie theme music in my head for sometime now. you know the one, da da da...da da da....Judgement Day !!... not long now.

 

[The better Robbo]

We need to control field position cos Reynolds' short kicking game will destroy our energy. Hold the ball and control field position and we win!

Turbo & DCE on verge of becoming the greatest try-assist double act

Manly duo on verge of becoming greatest try-assist double act

In-form Manly playmakers Tom Trbojevic and Daly Cherry-Evans are five try-assists away from breaking a record set by Parramatta many would have thought untouchable.

Yep whatever happens tonight to make to week 3 of the finals will do me.

All I hope is that we don't get rolled easy and south's win big I would hate a 40-12 type scoreline would make it a hard night to take.

I think if it another way. I don't care whether we win by 1 point with a lucky field goal or by 50. I do care if we lose, but don't care how much we lose by.

All that matters, in the end, is making the grand final. Score is irrelevant. Consider that Souths have made the last three prelims. You wouldn't know it, or remember, because the only teams that anyone remembers in any given year are the two grand final teams. Every other team that year is forgotten.

I want this team to be remembered.

HERE WE GO. So close to a GF we can touch it. We wanted this path to the finals, to eventually meet the Rabbits in the prelim because we all believed they were the lesser of the top 4. We came in the hard way though, but I think it's the best way. We needed that week 1 loss, it put a fire in our belly, it taught us a lesson, gave us a reality check.

We got embarrassed in the worst way possible and had players distraught in the sheds. But look at the way we bounced back against chookies, focused, aggression, motivation, we were too good. Let's keep carrying that energy, nobody remembers who loses in the prelims, let's make a name for ourselves for having this amazing season and become a Grand Finalist. I love my club, I'm proud of us, proud of our supporters, our players, our coaches, everything.

LETS KEEP THIS FAIRYTALE SEASON GOING!!!!! LETS GO MANLYYYYYYYYYYYY

The one thing I’ll say is that in hindsight we wouldn’t have stood a chance today without the lessons we got from week 1.

Certainly do!

mrs ge hasn't seen the terminator and we were talking about it today.

mrs ge: "so in the first terminator, the robot is after someone or something is that right?"
ge: "omg...yes! he is after Sarah Conner, and he's not technically a robot."
mrs ge: "Ok, so Sarah Connor is the villain then? that's why he's after her."
ge: "...........face palm."



GO MANLY

yum!

All loyalty aside, I think the game will be decided by taffe..
Penny kicked to him all night without results, because they had stuff all kick chase and were running on fumes (as evident last week when they had absolutely no answers for a pretty basic eels outfit and had to resort to cheating to win)
I see the kid getting bombed all night long, with 6"4 Tommy and 6"7 Saab jumping all over him, all night long..
If it's close, that will be the difference... Poor bastard is going to have nightmares of Tommy and Saab for the next few weeks

 

[ManlyTragic]

I can see the vermin getting the jump on us by 14. A brief fightback should see 6-14 at half-time. They'll jump us early 2nd half for 6-20 then we'll score a couple to get back to 18-20 then I expect the ref/bunker clowns to do their job. Vermin by 13.

Can I borrow that crystal ball if yours?

Maybe you could tell me if I am going to get lucky tonight? If not I would prefer to go around to my mate’s place to watch the game.

Just sayin’

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

Well @Rafferty me and my boy will be doing our best to cheer them home and then again next week if we get there! Can’t wait for kickoff.

We all hope they can do it for you and your son. (and all the rest of us). Memories are made on nights like tonight.

He is small and inexperienced. The boys will bomb him all night and kick to the corners and drag him back! Like we used to do to slater back in the day. Tough night ahead for the kid but oh well he plays for souths 😉

If we play properly this is how I expect the game to go... Gonna be annoyed if we struggle tonight and DONT bomb this inexperienced kid all night long

Longest. Day. Ever.

Jumping out of my skin.
