Storm Vs Manly [Round 11, 2018] Team lists & Pre-Game Discussion

[Kevinward777]

Was there the last two days and no one told me anything about good beer week

Yeah they put it on as a way to brighten up the Sh1t city year they experience daily.

 

[Paw93]

I like the plan we had against Canberra last year. Kick to the sidelines and take the kick returns out of the picture.

 

[Bearfax]

You think you’re old, I can remember my first ever movie aged 8, The Sound of Music!!!

I remember Yes What on radio before TV. Now that's old. Green Bottle would have to be in his 80s by now.

 

[double hoops]

Hasn't he been reffing for more than just this year

Yep. IMO in past years he has been one of the better refs. But This year he is on drugs or something. Not even a blind man would agree with some of Henry's observations.

 

[HoldenV8]

Perenara one of the better refs? You're setting the bar a bit low there aren't you mate?

Then again......

 

[Ralphie]

Even with scam out they are twice the team we are. They are at home and Perenara the referee. Scum by 20.

 

[HoldenV8]

Melbourne aren't invincible.

 

[brad]

Don't kick it at all in the air, that's their strength. Go through the hands or grubber kick behind them (hence why I think Hodko should start, he can do exactly that). Neither Vunivalu nor Addo-Carr are in that side because they are Jake Trbojevic like defenders.

And thats we're they are not as effective as the last couple without Cronk kicking to them at every chance. Thats all they've got so take it out of play . Your right kick it along the ground behind them and pressure the kicker.

 

[ricardo]

If I was coach I’d yell the not to drop the ball in front of The Fox

 

[Bearfax]

Melbourne wthout Smith is like a dog without its master. Still dangerous but without direction. It was Melbourne sans Smith that Manly thrashed 40-0 a few years back. And now without Cronk, only Slater looks to be top rank in their team. They are there for the taking if Manly are on their game.

 

[brad]

No Smith no Brommich or Kasiano is major losses for the mexicans.

 

[Woodsie]

No Smith no Brommich or Kasiano is major losses for the mexicans.

Agree ... but they still have Perinara .... apparently Henry has asked for a meeting with Smith to see if he has any special instructions for the game .....

They are there for the taking if Manly are on their game.

This.

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

Its ours for the taking. It will depend on our determination, enthusiasm in the first 30 mins. We can upset them, No master puppeteer. / cheater / ref manipulator . . . . No Kasiano. No Cronk, No Bromwich.
MWSE by 18 If we have THE RIGHT ATTITUDE. AND EFFING TACKLE.

 

[HappilyManly]

Manly's biggest advantage is our ever changing rostered Team.

Hard to study for an opposing Team as we have hardly had the same 17 in the same position all year

Manly is the definitive 'chaos play' all across 80 minutes 😛

Manly to bring home the 2 match points

 

[Bearfax]

This.

Thems is there for the taking?

 

[BOZO]

I think we will win this game
Last weeks win was the Viagra we needed to keep us up against the Storm and beyond .
I believe our great win against the Broncos will keep us on a high and on a roll .
The Hodko selection should also keep Bellamy guessing before the match and during the match .
I believe from now on we will be seeing a new Manly baring any more injuries .
The bonus is we will be getting some players back soon .

Jorge Taufua — Collarbone — Round 12

Brad Parker — Knee — Round 12-14

Jack Gosiewski — Hand — Round 13

Taniela Paseka — Ankle Round 14

Thems is there for the taking?

Yep.

 

[Turbo4Life]

Remember the manly melbourne games in the past that were televised on friday nights. In rd 13 we play the cows at lottloland, that's the first time we've had a thursday/friday NIGHT game on channel 9 since rd 23 August 11 2016 against the bulldogs at anz stadium (this game was 644 days ago). Bulldogs won that game by scoring in golden point. Channel nine don't like us on thursday/friday night footy.

 

[grassy]

If we can win this game, we will go a long way to staying away from that dreaded spoon. I am not going to get ahead of myself just yet but if we dig in hard in this game it will be a promising sign. I would love to see us win this.
