Game Day: Storm v Manly [Round 17, 2023]

[Eagle thru 'n' thru]

OK Manly, listen up.

It's like this. I make a ridiculously good orange cake. People rave about it. Always a hit. Never misses.

Sometimes I go the extra mile and make orange icing to put on top and people get positively orgasmic. I don't do this often because I'm not overly thrilled about having a bunch of orgasmic people in the house but also, and more importantly, it does the job perfectly well without the flashy bit.

Now concentrate Manly.

You are the cake. Tommy is the icing.

You got this!

I have to attend a work function in Edgecliff tonight. If we beat Melbourne it will make the event marginally bearable. Kayo Sports and the toilet will be my best friend.

I'm planning to have the runs , and visit the toilet every 15 minutes.

Who has a work function on a saturday night?? Are they paying you triple time to be there

A stupid mid year awards night and the only thing they're paying is the food and drinks. A few hours of talking crap with people who don't really like you while getting intoxicated certainly isn't my idea of fun.

 

[Alfreddo]

You guys do realise that Saab won't be playing?

You might need to change your job.

And do you realize Saab pretty much depends on Tommy to set him up for his try's. Vegas will pretty much be his own man out there tonight, go for it Ray..

 

[Thewestisbest]

You might need to change your job.

That thought has swirled through my mind many times these past nine years, and yet here I am. Discussing a mid year awards night where I'll be watching kayo on the toilet, and a Sydney Roosters sombrero stuffed with turds and orange cake on a Saturday afternoon.

With Munster out at least something has gone our way this week! Hoping the team is switched on (unlike last week) for 80 mins and if our pack stands up to theirs, we might have a (small) chance. Aloiai needs to step up and play to his full ability instead of just talking the talk.

I'm happy Vaega's in with his aggression, particularly vs the Storm. Would personally prefer Garrick at FB and Harper at centre, but maybe Weekes will prove he can cover at FB at least adequately. We live in hope anyway...

Go Manly!!!

Why the powers that be continue to put Aloia up in front of the media is a mystery. It's almost like they want to create an atmosphere of animosity between the fans and club.

Expecting the very worst

Hoping for the best

I think that’s all you can do.

 

[Uber Eagle 72]

Really hoping we put up a good fight. The forwards need to redeem themselves after last week’s lacklustre effort.

 

[Chunkytuna]

We are capable of winning tonight feathered friend
And Winning at Manly is the Ultimate Exhilarating Thrill and happiness Money cant buy

With all you negative nancies, this is a great opportunity for me to make up some ground in the tipping comp
But it's only fair to tell you all, I've just been watching Barry, our local eagle, soaring high over the valley, which is a pretty certain sign of a good outcome tonight.
go Manly!

Tip on, my learned friend!

 

[Alfreddo]

I have no problems with Vaega in the squad. I already believe he has shown enough to be in the 17.

 

[Alfreddo]

In fact he should have been in our squad weeks ago

 

[Alfreddo]

Hopefully the forwards do their job tonight.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Tip on, my learned friend!

I've made a big comeback, up to equal 29th! (which is a comeback because at one stage I was second last!) 🙂

Does Barry play fullback?
