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

[mickqld]

I'd just like a game where I'm not screaming obscenities at the TV, cursing lazy , dumb errors and penalties, cursing poor referee and bunker clown decisions for once. Please Manly play well and keep my stress levels down to normal for once.

Good luck with that. The wife is going out soon to avoid that here.

Funny thing about today.....

Aside from not having Koula in the centres and an actual back rower (sorry but I'd rather see Bullemor as a middle forward only. He doesn't have the lateral speed to be a back rower, IMO) ... today's starting XIII is about as strong as we can expect to put on the park with the squad we have.

There should be no excuses today. The Tigers are winless and stone motherless last. Only a win will suffice.

Yeah should be but those 2 sh***y centres of ours just continue to give me no confidence in attack or defence.

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

He does get a lot wrong you know..

We bring the Storm intensity to Cambletown this arvo,... it'll be us by plenty.

1-17

I'm guessing Fainu or Bullemor are going to be the cover for the backs.

If a back gets injured, just clutch at the head 'parra' style and get Cooper on as the reserve.

!

 

[Fibro Eagle]

A win is expected but not a given , Just do all the 1%’s and the win will come
Hope Schuster gets through the whole and has a great game
GO MANLY

 

[Remy]

Must win game, can't drop points at all in these next two weeks, let's just get the job done and MOVE! LETS GO MANLY!

 

[skull61]

Asking for trouble not having a utility on the bench today seeing as half our backs are made of glass and our hooker carrying shoulder injury

!

Only 2 HIAs required to activate Coops, problem is failed HIAs are mandatory 11 day stand down. Who are the scapegoats that miss next week?

Edit: on closer inspection players can fail an HIA and still be classed as cat 2/3 which aren't subject to the 11 day stand down.

I guess...

1) sense
2) of humour

My bad. In my defence we wouldn't be the first team to take the piss out of HIA rules and my SOH deserts me once pre game jitters kick in, especially in a 'should win game'.

 

[mickqld]

Rain about to hit. The bad omens just keep building up. I can see a shambles coming up.

 

[skull61]

I can smell ambush here

 

[globaleagle]

noot! noot!

get it on!

 

[Woodsie]

Then stop bending over ...and stand up staright ..

Parker is better defensively than he's shown lately.

Morgan is just the seat filler until Koula's back.

 

[Nordburg]

Anyone else worried about the lack of versatility on the bench?Thought Seibold maybe over thinking the situation with the Tigers forward pack
