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

Embarrassing loss coming up? Lets hope not, but could imagine there is no incentive in the team now that finals chances are gone and safe from the wooden spoon.

Yeah so we are just as likely to win ..... yo-yo team

Really all depends on Tommy, he's the catalyst for every attacking play and the only one who can unlock Koula with those backline sweeping plays.

Not sure if will be embarrassing. I do not expect us to win. Just do not have the firepower. Disappointing yes, embarrassing No.

Given our forward stocks yes not embarrassing rather , expected.

But , just like the Storm game you just never know what can happen.

If we win , I’d be very relieved.

So that swamp Allianz is going to have rorter v dogs tomorrow night, souffs v scumatta Saturday night then us Sunday arvo. Can you imagine what a cesspool it'll be by Sunday arvo. An $800mil monument to rich Uncle Nick and it's a bog.

We get a lot wrong at our club, but one thing we do wonderfully well is our ground and field condition.

So you’re saying,just like the surface at Brookvale,the club will eventually get things right.Lets hope that turnaround is a bit quicker than the Brookie field one

Brookie is our only positive at the moment.

Gene has done a great job on the playing surface after Green Options got the gig post resurfacing, the drainage works done on Brookie are top notch same with turf

If you're going to be sh#thouse on the field, you may as well be sh#thouse on a really nice field. Groundskeeping seems to be about the only area we can excel at these days.

Baseless speculation incoming....
DCE has been carrying an injury* but has kept playing 'to help Manly' (helps explain his bad form)
Joey Walsh features heavily in this week's training pics, but DCE barely sighted
Joey is named among the reserves
If he's still there when the side is trimmed to 19 at 2pm ...
odds may shorten of a surprise debut tomorrow in place of DCE 😎

*baseless speculation

Not sure it’s completely baseless.His involvement in general play kicking the last few weeks,has diminished and then at one point last week,Brooks took a drop out,which I’ve never seen him do at Manly and raised my suspicion

Although I have just seen a photo of DCE talking in the huddle at the captain’s run

I'd be surprised if an injury stopped DCE from talking.

Walsh has survived the 24 hour cut.

I think there might be a switch up.

 

[Cliffycomeback]

I'd love to see it.

Yep now Joey is in the final 19... debut could be on the cards 🙂

Was anyone listening?

Brookie is our only positive at the moment.

Thanks. I’m doing my best.
