Game Day: Titans v Manly [Round 22, 2022]

[mave]

As always with Manly, you can pretty much predict the result after the first set of the game....sometimes it doesn't even take that long, depending on whether we catch the kick-off or not.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

We’ll know in the first 5-10 minutes.

But it’s also the hast 10 minutes we have to worry about as well.

So basically we have to worry about everything🙂

I know what you mean, Mark - I have no idea which Manly team will show up. We could win by plenty or we could lose by plenty. Gut feeling is the Titans will want it more than we do.

 

[Shoe1]

Could be 30 all, 30-0 or 0-30 today.

Agreed - Titans are the biggest disappointments of the year and their coach was meant to be a gun too. If they end up with the spoon a lot of reputations and possibly careers are in tatters. I expect them to aim up big time at home today so if we win we'll have earnt it. Go Manly

 

[ALinda]

While there's still a glimmer of hope for our season, fingers are crossed. Hoping to see a unified team win big and give us some cheer, which we haven't had much of lately. Go Manly!

 

[mickqld]

Even if we somehow win this , and it needs to be by at least 24pts or more, we really are no hope of making finals. We're 2 wins and a poor f/a behind the 8 with a win. Unless Parra or Broncos fall in a hole and lose the last 3 , and then we really aren't a snowflakes of beating the Sharks next week. We don't deserve it anyway. We've **** in our own backyard, we have a plan which relies all on 1 player whose constantly injured, it really is a disillusioned place at the moment.

She has done a really good job so far in the games I have watched.

After yesterdays results there are exactly 200 days until Manly’s next meaningful match.

200 days to have a nice long think about the self sabotage they put themselves into this year.
200 days to make the changes needed so that all that remains are Rugby league players who take pride in the Manly jersey and believe playing for Manly is a privledge, not secondary to some perceived personal rights.

Those changes start at the very top, and there Is plenty of time to clean up the joint so I have high expectations. It’s not about winning or losing any more it’s about creating a true Manly unit.

The game today will be interesting. Now that the competition is over, thoughts of some players will turn back to themselves. Now they are playing for their own pride and value rather than trying to win a competition. They don’t have anything to complain about now because there is nothing to complain for. The damage has been done.

Losing now shines the spotlight on them as individuals. If they play well this confirms to me that the talent was there all along and they just have to grow up. Play badly, well insert here:

woohoo

 

[DUFFMAN]

No interest in todays game and have a feeling the team has already clocked off, we should win by 30+ but I just don't see a win which proves there is a problem in the player group and coaching staff.
Only positive will be the Tigers will be last on the ladder again.

Two out of form teams with nothing to play for and a group of Manly players that don't care about the season so why should I? Very, very hard to get excited about this one. Watching it will be marginally better than mowing the lawn and washing the car but not by much.

Well I’ve washed two vehicles today , and have just come in from mowing the lawn.

Both were **** jobs.

Hope the next thing isn’t a **** show!!

 

[ricardo]

Surely Schuster plays, when is the teamlist cut off?

Very tough for us proud Manly people this time of the year feathered friend

This time of the year is what every club plays for

No finals for Manly is not all about Manly

Winning is all about Manly and I hope our boys can win today

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Big Tino is out for the Titans he’s about their best player

[Brisbane Tragic]

Surely Schu and Aloiai replace Sipley and Foran

 

[mickqld]

Really comes to something when it's mid August and we can't even feel confidentof beating the last placed team. Where has the pride gone in this club.....ohh I know where 🌈. FFS.
