Tigers vs Manly Round 24, 2018 pre game thread

[Jerry1]

We may not win but I'm confident we will not loose bun 30 pliant (whatever that is)

Jorge has a loose bun but I think he's only 28 - gotta love predictive text.

He spells like me . Maybe a littler bit better even . Oh well at least we both have a go on this forum 😛

Cows have titans eels rorters

Why do they get 1 game more than the other teams?

 

[Class of 96]

The spoon is ours

Not just yet. We are giving it one hell of a shake like never before, but we’re up against formidable opponents in Parra and the Girls. They will still be hard to knock off.

 

[davohan123]

Haha nah
Cowboys play titans
Eels play rorters
Imo eels will beat cowboys and then cowboys will beat titans.
We will lose both games

You are right that I just cant see us winning either game and that will be last place for us.

Funny 2008 we had our best day ever in rugby league history 40-0 yet 2018 ten years later we again could be having a another historic moment in history for all the wrong reasons..very sad thinking about it

2 losses won’t be last place if we keep them both to tight games.

 

[HoldenV8]

Walker will be 58

Agreed. In fact the only possible change from Friday's starting lineup would be the inclusion of Api at Hooker. And if Api is back I'd almost expect Hodko to drop off the bench with Fainu taking the 'utility' spot, though I wouldn't be surprised if Api does actually play that Fainu is the one to drop out of the team altogether.

Would also like to see Winterstein's arse dumped back to Blacktown with either Paseka, Sipley or Gosiewski coming onto the bench.

 

[HoldenV8]

The scary thing is, not really. Say Parra and Cowgirls win a game each and we lose both, we are all on equal points. The F/A can change dramatically if both of those teams win a game and we get beaten twice. Those losses don’t have to be massive.

Either Doesn't-matta or the Cowgirls are going to lose one game at least as they play each other this weekend. Hopefully whoever wins does so by a very big margin as it will help on F/A. And right now the best thing would actually be an Eels win as we are 26 points better than the Cows and 16 better than the Worms.

Of course, a golden point win by either would also be good so long as we either beat the Tigpies, or if we lose its a close thing. But if we get blown out by either Wests or Brisbane or both.....we're in trouble.

 

[HoldenV8]

Yer i did realize there was only that amount of points in it . Who has cows and eels got in last round?

In the last round, the Cows play the Titans in Townsville and Doesn't-matta are at home (ANZ) to the Chooks.

We can still lose both games to Wests and Brisbane but avoid the spoon if we don't get blown out in either or both games. We'll still be equal last, but F/A would be the difference.

Of course, win either game and its a moot point as we then would not finish last.

I'm sitting in an airport lounge.

That's gotta be a good omen somehow

Go Manly! woot

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I went all the favourites last week in the tipping and got 2/8!!

That’s an omen.

Don’t be surprised to see a lot more upsets this week!!

And really the top 8 is the top 8, Tigers are next to no chance unless they win BIG the last two games and Warriors lose their last two.

 

[TimmyQ]

WE'LL??? ????.

win this.....
#God love ya

 

[qldeagle]

Are we still playing footy this year. I was hoping it was all over

 

[ManlyTragic]

Since it is the second last game can we just play for 40 mins?

Hopefully they win on Thursday and get us out of the wooden spoon equation. Then i can focus on things that are way more enjoyable, like completing my 17/18 tax return.

We stopped playing footy last week, mate.

Not sure what you call what we are doing.....well I can think of a few choice words!

 

[Shoe1]

What time does coach Bob Fulton name his team for this upcoming clash with the tigers?

Whats happened to Paseka ? No longer even in the 21

 

[Bearfax]

Barrett has given up. Not even trying anymore.

 

[1969]

I'm guessing we won't be seeing Api for the rest of the season. Maybe he is on his way out? I hope not, because we could us his defence and skills, he plugs a few holes for us.

 

[The Who]

Tevita Funa has been picked as centre in both the Reserve Grade and the Under 20s....
That's how professional our club has become.

 

[Cliffymagic]

Bloody piss weak. After last weeks efforts half the team should have been dropped
Anyone alvalible to play , that didnt last week should be in. We are screwed either way. Il be expecting tigers try count to equal the amount of peneltys they get.
