Good sides focus on achieving optimal performance and not who they are playing. Whilst this game wont be easy we need to be in good form and in full flight coming into the business end of the season. The Roosters game is a good reminder of how things can go south quickly if you are not mentally switched on in the first 20 minutes.
 
This is danger match for us. Tigers desperation to avoid the wooden spoon and our potential complacency with this game could cost us. Add a loss to the Doggies and Sharks and we are out of the top eight.🫣
People on here said the same thing about Raiders + Warriors games & we beat them both 13+ in the end. I get what you are saying, every game at the end of year can be a ‘danger game’ but this really shouldn’t be that at all. Tigers are rubbish & missing 1 of their best players Bula, we should be expected to dominate them & win this game by 3+ tries building toward finals

Complacency can be a danger in a game like this but we have quite a few players jostling for limited spots so I'm not worried about complacency on Thursday.
I'm expecting a patient and clinical performance from Manly, and I'm confident Seibold will have laid out in no uncertain terms that this week is all about accuracy and fundamentals (if he hasn't - sack him!) @:D

If we can’t beat the Spooners with this team we don’t deserve to to play the finals anyway.

Should be a rout , unless the Pinkies pull a Rort. And with them ANYTHING is possible.
Thursday night Ch nein game so the clowns will try their best to make it close. Anticipate an avalanche of dud penalties and 6 agains clobbering any momentum we try to build.
 
Comes down to Manly coming out with energy and fact is, we have far more to play for than the Tigers.
Api at 9 will be their "go to" player all day and young Galvin will obviously take on the line.
Their main danger man imo is Sam Fainu on the edge, but I back Oka over him all day.
Really hoping to see a strong defensive play in this game, as this is our area that needs most imo.
We all know this Manly side can score points, but don't want to play shootout footy against the best teams....if we can keep sides to 2-3 tries (or less), will be a good chance in ANY game.

Sam is going OK this year, lil bit hot and cold. The real danger man is Galvin, shut him down and you shut down the whole team.
