Big Dogs win needed

[maxta]

yes it was a bad 2nd half
TBH - the first half was patchy also....
The winning try was dubious, but after a 20-6 lead, the result should have been out of reach at the 78th minute.
The sad part is....this Manly side show glimpses of quality power footy that would compete with ANY team, yet struggle to regain composure once the opposition turn up the heat....unsure if it's a confidence - youth thing, or the hard cold fact, there are a few of them not up to NRL pressure footy.
What I love about footy, is the fact 1 week can turn a teams fortunes....a big win over Dogs and the gloom is clearing.
Then it's NZ and a chance to grow in confidence.
If it's 2 from 2 there - we head to Penrith and have an opportunity for 3 in a row and momentum into the finals.
The old 1 game at a time cliche is the order of the day and have a good feeling Silvertails will have a far more positive vibe, after the Dogs game next week.

The worry I have with the Dogs is just how pathetic they're playing could drag us down to their depths.

You can bet one thing!

The Dogs will play their best game in months next weekend, that my friends is guaranteed!

Unlike previous Manly - dogs games they won't be doing it for Des.

Yes I do agree with that but I think they've made their point now, and one win for the fans will be their motto this week.

I would be happy with a 1 point win or even a draw to be honest. A draw is just as good as a win for us in terms of going towards scraping into the 8.

How would a loss work??

We need to Steel ourselves , just in case.

The dogs have been woeful for months and without Reynolds (often their only spark in attack) they'll offer even less. The only thing that can beat us next Sunday is ourselves.

 

[bob dylan]

Unless we have 6 players sent off before half time we will win.

Manly must play their game, play fast because that is where the dogs are slow. Respect the ball and play the percentages and there is a good chance of a win. The Dogs will be up for this, its a pride thing for them and the flack they have taken from their own means that pride will be a big thing for them this week.

I'll be happy to just win the match let alone win big at the moment

The Penrith game is at Brookie

 

[Holmsey]

If we can't flog the dogs then we shouldn't be in finals.

The Refs are up to your challenge

We just need to see our backs start taking more hitups again, that's what drove our top 4 quality form in the earlier parts of the season and in that Roosters win. The boys are still gaining experience although it's not ok to blow yet another lead this season, they've got to learn to not let bad calls hurt us

Thats what I though about yesterdays game.

And boy aren't we missing Tafua's charging up yards now?

The Dogs are shot . Turmoil galore , coach sacking talk , board drama's, salary cap , ex player getting involved, they are shot dogs and can not see them getting anywhere near us if we turn up .

Mate if we were playing my daughter's netball team on the weekend I still wouldn't put a dime on them.
