Tigers vs Manly Round 24, 2018 pre game thread

[maxta]

Good battle up front with the big Islander Boppers - AFB + Kapow Vs Matalino + Packer could well decide the result

Hey maxta . Lovely photo of you and your pride and joy . She has her dads features 🙂

Thanks Champ - she got me covered, but a proud little Seaeagle supporter she is....

Its going to be a tough one to win, however if we show up motivated and ready for an 80 minute battle we are capable of claiming the points and avoiding the spoon, our big boppers, and I include Tangle,s should be intending to absolutely steamroll Farra and Benji. Liddle will need to be closely watched when he comes on and Brookes needs to be heavily marked at all times .... imho

 

[The Who]

This match isn't about the talent of both teams. It's about attitude.
If the players go into the match with the same "I'll run with the ball but don;t ask me to tackle as I might hurt myself and miss the end-of-season booze up" mindset as they did against the Titans then we will get beaten by a cricket score.
It will be a test of character for the coach, the assistant coach, our laughingly named 'defensive' coach, and the majority of our 17 players. I know we will have 4-5 players who will be trying; let's hope they get the support they need.

I suspect our coaches and players have already played and lost this game in their minds. Too many readily available excuses, and we've been reaching for excuses all season.
The Tigers have some good players but not as much talent as we do. They've also been playing good, tough footy for most of the year while we've been ridiculously soft. I'm not even sure if we've got a "Play Good Footy" switch anymore, but even if we do, the chances of us finding it and hitting it are fairly slim. Of course, I'd love to be proven wrong.

With this ****storm surrounding them I’m predicting a cricket score, something along the lines of 42-10.

Just not sure which side will have the 42

Tigers for sure we have clocked off for the year. That includes coach,ceo and players.

 

[StuBoot]

C'mon guys, it's at Campbelltown, surely we can beat Wests, surely....maybe? Anyone?

 

[Fluffy]

whats with all this Api going BS, the guy is still injured ... he has been seen walking around in a moon boot and his tweet saying ,he won't be playing again this season was on another thread, the Api happy thread I think

because we need to be angry or we just aint living life and sometimes, well a lot of the time, we need to make stuff up or extrapolate

 

[Nuts]

Tigers will put 13+ on us. Their defence is strong and watch Farah & Brooks tear holes in our middle. The season can't come quick enough for us.

 

[Budgie]

I'm struggling to come up with a motivation for the team to win.
Playing to impress the unknown incoming coach?
All I got.

 

[brad]

Why suggest he's on the way out FFS? To add to all the Silvertail hysteria? He himself tweeted he'll be back next season.

Jesus, DCE could take a dump, and people here would claim it's a sign he's moving to Brisbane.

Not having a go at you mate, but the bull**** spewing forth from posters here is almost unbearable.

Lol if Dce was having a dump , my guess he'd be going to the tip.

I don't think we are capable of beating a team 42-10, and we would score more than 10. Maybe 42-10 at halftime to Manly but going on to lose 56-42...

 

[niccipops]

So tonight, based on 2018 Manly and referee performances I'm predicting Tigers by plenty. A 14-2 penalty count. 4 Manly players in the bin. Manly actually score a try and defend well with 9 players but are rubbish with 13. Whatever DCE does he'll be bagged by Silvertails.
Silvertails goes ballistic. The media put out 64 anti-Manly articles featuring 43 photos of the demountables.
But there's a sliver of hope we might just win and my predictions are wrong.
Go Manly!

Demountables to take the Fibros

If we turn up with the right attitude and defend with pride we might have a chance of winning !! if they turn up lazy then WOW the wooden spoon will be ours cause tigers will put 40+ on us as they need to win big

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I feel sick at the thought of what it might be!!

 

[davohan123]

I feel sick at the thought of what it might be!!

No joke if we are really switched off tonight could be something like
58-10 something along those lines if tigers are switched on
I think scoreline will be 44-16 tigers winning

 

[Growler FNQ]

parra have saved us once surely they will do it again.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I think the Girls will be really up for JT’s last game and they play the Rorters in the last game , so yes I think we will get saved by the Squeels even though we’ll probably lose our last two!!
