[Red Baron]

Manly 13+

 

[The Wheel]

FFS Billy pick Dollar$ - I just don’t want to see him next week

 

[Phobia]

Predicted team... Can't I just fast forward to 2027, when we have Haas and Fogarty?

1. Turbo
2. Saab
3. Koula
4. Garrick
5. Talau
6. Brooks
7. DCE
8. Bullemor
9. Croker
10. TKO
11. Olakau'atu
12. Ben (never move him to the centres again)
13. Jake
14. Faulalo
15. Tevaga - covering hooker too if needed
16. Sipley
17. Brown

Under no circumstances should we ever see Waddell and Burbo in the centres again...

On an unrelated note, I can't wait for the media next year to be confused as to why we are doing better without DCE, and the Roosters keep losing with massive leads. It'll be funny to watch their narratives fall apart, and realise where the source of half our problems are from... We were winning the forward battle and DCE decided to do stupid things anyway.

 

[globaleagle]

Hooray!

It's the 'w' for Manly this week.

So Manly by 20+ woohoo!!!!

Why does Brooks get a spot every week? Surely he's failed enough times already.

 

[Rafferty]

Hooray!

There you are……..sorry I can’t join you……I’ll have to experience the reality before allowing myself to be kicked in the balls again……there still to sore from last night……..

 

[Phobia]

Why does Brooks get a spot every week? Surely he's failed enough times already.

Brooks is playing poorly, because he effectively has to game manage in absence of DCE doing it.

DCE had a period coming off Origin last year, where he clearly had an injury. As a result, he played very conservatively, and just did what he had to do, steering the team around, and nothing more. It is no coincidence that this was Brooks' peak form so far at Manly. He had a try-scoring streak, and was lighting up our left edge attack. He was able to play his natural game. This was also a stretch where we won 5/6 games.

When your halves partner is doing the stupid ****, you're going to cool down. I don't think he has much faith in DCE to play a guiding role. I expect him to play better with Fogarty than DCE.

 

[Brookie1973]

Hooray!

It's the 'w' for Manly this week.

So Manly by 20+ woohoo!!!!

Problem is apart from the win/lose yo-yo we are on, we also have the losses to teams we should beat hoodoo to contend with. So maybe Manly 20+ at halftime, but down by 6 at full time. It’s the titans turn to get played into form.

 

[Rafferty]

I was at the game up there last year, we were lucky to come away with the win, the way things currently are, I think the Tits will be getting pretty excited about this weeks game, our win one, lose one record is about to be seriously tested, oh and I was going to take the family back up this week, but after last night, I’m not sure any of us are real keen, hopefully we’ll put last night aside and go anyway.

 

[BOZO]

FFS Billy pick Dollar$ - I just don’t want to see him next week

Just look forward to seeing the other Manly Dollar$ Man feathered friend
Look forward to seeing just how good Fogarty goes next to the bargain buy of the year Brooks and under Mestrovs / Penns endorsed Super coach Seibold .

In the mean time
Lets sing the Dollar $ong ...
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Fogarty left his team mates at Canberra
Leaving for the Manly Dollar

Get in early why don't you...
Bag out a player yet to lace a boot for Manly.
Strange attitude for a die-hard supporter

 

[BOZO]

Get in early why don't you...
Bag out a player yet to lace a boot for Manly.
Strange attitude for a die-hard supporter

Ask and not just think what I am saying feathered friend

If you have seen my posts I am pro players having the right to earn a dollar

The Strange attitude is from the ones putting the boot in DCE and calling him Dollar
I was singing the Dollar song to make them aware that DCE is not the only Dollar chasing man
The overwhelming Majority of of pro players are all dollar chasers
Power to DCE , Fogarty and all the Dollar Chasers

Sing with me @Dee Why Eagle
All together Now,....
Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Fogarty left his team mates at Canberra
Leaving for the Manly Dollar

 

[Eagle 1]

What's the storey with Fifi, medical staff say he's good to go but Fifi says he needs more time. Now it's Des's move, they'll be shopping him off sooner rather than later I'd say.

 

[Mat the UK Manly Fan]

I’m predicting we find the consistency we’ve been searching for… we lose 2 in a row.

 

[The Wheel]

Last nights result means the Titans will come out firing against us and good chance we will melt again

After the knights debacle, anything is possible. Big win or big loss ?.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Turbo Saab and TKO should return. Every second week Manly has put itself in a must-win position. So it's fairly simple - you must win!
I think every time Turbo has played recently Seibold has picked a back on the bench as cover, so Talau and Faulalo probably both make the 17

 

[Hertera]

"Manly’s Haumole Olakau’atu has also been picked in the extended squad." State of origin hope he isn't number 18 if he is he can't play.

 

[Eagle 1]

"Manly’s Haumole Olakau’atu has also been picked in the extended squad." State of origin hope he isn't number 18 if he is he can't play.

With 3 or 4 forwards on the bench, It's usually a back that gets the 18th spot.
