Pre-Game Storm v Manly [Finals 1, 2021]

[Shoe1]

I can’t pick it, we might lose. But maybe we also win by 28. Who could know?

 

[ManlyTragic]

I’m feeling pretty confident. We tend to lift our games against the better teams.

just sayin

 

[eaglebuzz]

If we had played better the last time we lost to them I'd be really worried right now, but we played a pretty ordinary game and still tested them. If we play well, we are the better side, in my opinion.

Possession will be key though.

 

[StuBoot]

And that’s the reason I’ve be en saying it’s the MIGOTY for almost a decade.

Win this we will play in the GF, lose and we’ll likely bow out against the Panthers in 2 weeks time.

MIGOTD?

 

[Jerry1]

Also, let's not forget, we have to score more points than them.jUST THE ONE WILL DO IT THOUGH..

MIGOTD?

decade?

 

[Will on the hill]

We've gone down by 12+ on a fairly regular basis to much lesser opposition. This cannot be one of those weeks. The key to winning is take the lead first and force them to take the risks. If we fall behind they will strangle us to death. Start fast and we can do the strangling. First 20min are the MIMOTY.

 

[StuBoot]

Agreed, he hasn't had a good year by previous standards plus the fact that he's carrying that injury which will play heavily on his thinking, I won't be surprised if Bellyache replaces him early, not the best scenario for a finals match

Beware the wounded champion.
The guy is an out and out footballer and a tough one at that.
He’s way better than Hynes and his left foot kick is a point of difference.
Hope he plays and we do a job on him.

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

I know one thing for sure, and that is.If we score more tries and then convert than the storm then we will win.. 🤪

Not if they kick a sh!tload of field goals!

Agree, I think it could be a close game or... a blowout by... either team

Not many finals are blowouts , although I do remember one game that was !!

Think it will be a win for whichever by a margin of 10-14 points. Who wins by that margin can't really decide.

 

[BoomStickBarbie]

I've got a feeling we win 30-8. Don't know why. Just a feeling.

Yes I don’t think there will be much in it but nor do I expect it to be golden point.

My summation is a pretty tight game with one side getting the ascendency in the last 15-20 minutes , which will either be,

Us , with Tommy on fire and scoring some freakish try’s to win the game.

Them, after we implode with mistakes as we can’t crack them and they get the ascendency and score a couple of quick ones to take it away.

And let’s face it , it’s more likely to us that implodes with frustration.

I like it @BoomStickBarbie . 30-8 would be a very satisfying result for us on all levels. I would be more than happy (ecstatic actually) to se that result. I would be just as happy though to win by one. Go Manly.

Why do you think he is out.

To me there goes our chances I think.

Surely des would not drop him for Lawton.
