Pre-Game Tigers V Manly [Round 24, 2025]

[SeaEagleRock8]

Don't expect any favours from the Match Officials this week

And yet ... the NRL will surely want Manly to remain in contention for a few more weeks, to add interest - hopefully these officials get the memo (even tho it's not in writing)

Garrick back to centre, we must be kidding. And everyone says we have depth in our backline.

Seibold has lost the plot.

 

[Wombat64]

Feel like our line up is kind of like we are going in circles and just hoping something might work. Would not surprise me if the Tiggies jagged a win.

The Tigers haven't been playing that badly, their last game they beat the Bulldogs and are coming off the bye. They also recently beat the Roosters. On the other hand we've been smashed in our last three games. How we are favourites is more the mystery to me.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Seibold has lost the plot.

We need Hoppa back. If Tom is fullback (where he doesn't have to tackle so much) then Hoppa back to left wing. Talau didn't do enough last week to hold the right centre spot, so back to the bench

Don't expect any favours from the Match Officials this week.

Butler hasn’t exactly been a good luck charm the last few weeks, so doesn’t bode well.

 

[Wombat Junior]

I think some people think of the tigers of last year and think this is an easy win... but in fact we have only won one more game than the tigers this season, the good thing is that the tigers have had a win loss pattern for the last 5 games so if I base our chances on their pattern then they are due for a loss

 

[Top End Eagle]

Get on the tigers


That team stinks.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

The Tigers haven't been playing that badly, their last game they beat the Bulldogs and are coming off the bye. They also recently beat the Roosters. On the other hand we've been smashed in our last three games. How we are favourites is more the mystery to me.

Agree. I will be pleasantly surprised if we win this one.

I think we will all be feeling glum when this one ends. For the first time ever I won't be watching by choice. I cannot digest another cat performance from the team which somehow makes our coach proud. I am done watching Waddell run around while both Fainu brothers line up against us. The club has been run into the ground and it isn't fun watching young ex Manly players tear us apart.

You are 100% right.

On recent form, toss of the coin. Hopefully Tigers will have a downer after the emotional win over the dogs. They may be flat for this one.

 

[Top End Eagle]

It's going to be tough, and even if it's a win there's going to be nothing to take out of it than beating a team that Manly should beat realistically anyway.

DCE will do nothing but worry about if his Roosters payday is in jeopardy and overcook things trying to impress now Walker has been blitzing it, the big old forwards we have will be good for twenty minutes like always, there'll be no penetration at the ruck and Brooks will be left as bamboozled as to what he's meant to do beside his halves partner as always. Garrick back in the four will run Saab out of room on the sideline and reform that magical defensive combination he has with DCE.

And we will get to see ten minutes of Navale.

All because the coach thinks he is a mathematical of making the semis and concluding that if the team does it's a 'successful' year.

 

[Wombat64]

Surely we can't lose this one at home....... but who the f knows?

 

[LeonardCohen]

Unpopular opinion but I like Garrick to centre. Hoppa is definitely in our best 17 and without Olakau’atu on the right, we need Garrick’s attacking skills to create a threat. I think it’s our best backline.

They ( the Fainu clan ) didn't tear us apart last time, meh...we'll see

We're not at home. Allianz And i can't figure why it's there

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Could Navale be the next victim in a long list of players that many ST’ers have hyped up based on nothing other than the fact they don’t like or rate the players that were picked ahead of them?

Very VERY easily but I do wish him well

Glad I don't have tickets for.a game at Brookie this weekend then ..... haha
