Game Day: Tigers v Manly [Round 8, 2023]

[KaZa]

Not sure Keppie should have returned so soon. Didn't have a big game in nsw cup either. Nit having a utility is crazy in today's game with the constant HIA. Shuster and Turbo aren't far away from injuries either.

Whoo hoo let's go Manly. Move into 2nd.

You feeling OK ?

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Funny but the mood on Silvertails mirrors my mood today , I think all positive for 10 minutes and dream of a cricket score.

And then 10 minutes after that my tin foil hat goes on , and I’m climbing under a rock.

Honestly , ****ed if I know.

But I do know one thing , I’d be more confident if we were playing team 1,2 or 3 than I am of playing team 17, after 7 losses

Can’t help but think the script is written already.

Just not sure if that script is “ let Manly win the next two for an absolute blockbuster at Magic Round “ OR, “ **** Manly , we can’t let the Tigers go 8 weeks without a win”.

Guess we’ll know by 6pm

I have long been an advocate for 3 raw meat eating props on the Bench ... never in my life time did I expect to see 4 ....

It's like my birthday and Xmas all together .... Rip 'em to ****ing shreds you great big Mungo boofheads ...

Super Coaches - in terms of a cricket score today, Tom or Garrick for C.

 

[God]

Thinking about taking Jesus to his first NRL game today, just not sure his antisocial qualities won't upset the locals

If any of the current bench are to be dropped to make way for either Weekes or Johns, Keppie would be my pick to lose out.

That's my mindset too.

We should win if we are serious about playing finals footy but games like this make me very nervous.. we never seem to handle being favourites well.

I don't think we will be let to win big today tigers as you said will get all the 50/50 calls.

I see us winning by 7 but if we are serious we should be beating them by 18 +

Just depends which manly turns up today.

Weekes is starting at fullback in NSW Cup, Johns not playing

Probably 18th man John's will be for first grade

 

[Budgie]

How many of the current team played with Api? Maybe just DCE, Parks, and the Turbos?

 

[cc eagle]

Joey tipping the tigs, that's good enough for me

 

[Peter C]

How many of the current team played with Api? Maybe just DCE, Parks, and the Turbos?

Api left at the end of 2019, so probably also Paseka, Keppie, Croker, Garrick, Boyle, Olakuatu and Sipley

 

[LeonardCohen]

How many of the current team played with Api? Maybe just DCE, Parks, and the Turbos?

Croker (halves), Garrick, Boyle, Sipley, Keppie, Olakau'atu, Paseka, DCE, Parker, Jake T, Tom T.

Sorry, just saw it has been simultaneously posted above.

I think it all starts and finishes in the forwards today. If we manage to play tough and aggressive through the middle then our backline destroys them. Over to you big boppers! Go Manly

Sea Eagles go down 38-22 in Flegg

A see-sawing contest saw the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles go down 38-22 to the Wests Tigers at Campbelltown Sports Stadium today in round eight of the Jersey Flegg Cup.

The more I look the more I think it's a mistake. We have no backline cover and we're carrying Schu, Garrick and of course Tom. Weekes should be groomed for that utility role. We have 3 plodder mids and a rookie edge on the bench. None if them will inject any energy or drive if our attack is struggling and Schu quads are giving trouble plus he's not match fit. I expect the tigpies to play expansive, run us around the park and wear our big slow forwards down. With our lazy edge defense they'll get enough points. It will be nothing like last week vs the storm. Tigpies by 4

Surely Johns comes into the 17.

 

[TimmyQ]

Surely Johns comes into the 17.

It's a weird one isn't it. If he does, that doesn't give me much confidence. He doesn't possess any size or speed or great defensive ability. Aside from the halves I don't know where he'd be effective. Come to think of it, why is he even in the squad? Go Manly
