It's Game Day !!!

Go Manly !!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

[Thewestisbest]

Let's go Manly!

 

[The '47ers]

Let's get it done!

 

[globaleagle]

WOOHOO

Go Manly

Game day!!!!

Cowboys should be tired from their draw so let’s thump em.

 

[Wombat64]

Wow, another week ...... can't wait ...... should be a close one?

 

[The Wheel]

Preparing for another round of dropped ball, bad passes and paper thin defense but hoping for a win

 

[frank stokes]

Stating the obvious but today seems like a MASSIVE turning point for our season…

win at Townsville and we are entrenched mid- top-8 and confident we deserve to be there… but lose and we are 1 win away from last and firmly entrenched with the also-fans and playing like we belong there…

Let’s F…KING GO Manly!!!

 

[Rafferty]

Well we’re 3 from 3 up there and smashed them 42 12 in Rd 1, be a shame to upset the 100% strike rate at country bank, if the players want anything from this season, losings not an option.

 

[manly al]

Just try and get back to the basics and completion rates up again
No more important game for the higher ranked players to step up
Win to probably stay in the 8 ,, so hopefully that should be an incentive enough

 

[mickqld]

Remember say before 2015 when game day was the best day of the week. Looking forward to watching Manly be competitive and knowing we had a chance to win each game. Now it's just a steaming pile of dogsh*t knowing that I'll sit there watching a bunch of inept pretenders masquerade as a professional football club. Then get angry, frustrated and pissed off for the rest of the weekend.

I can relate to this

Whelming.

A quick look at the players available outside the 17. Slim Pickens

 

[JakeyB789]

Good chance we see the old Turbo tonight. After Lomax and Kiraz’s showings last night he will need to have one of the games of his life tonight to be picked for his precious Origin

I was so lucky , my 10 year tenure doing the supporter stuff , 2004-2013.

The early years weren’t fantastic but then Ben Kennedy came and in 2005-6 everything changed.

I used to take trips to Townsville , always had about 35-45 go up , we won almost all the games up there.

And yes , the expectation was you were going to win every game.

Different times, but I’d love to experience that again.

The last decade has been a complete reversal.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Good chance we see the old Turbo tonight. After Lomax and Kiraz’s showings last night he will need to have one of the games of his life tonight to be picked for his precious Origin

And you can absolutely guarantee the Dollar Chaser will be “ on fire “.

That said I still can’t see a win

 

[Waz13]

Taking each origin game one at a time. In all honesty on form we should lose nobody to origin 1. That said I think dce will be our only out. Well that’s what I’m hoping for. Gives us the best chance for a win over Eels. And maybe the kid gets a run at 7 next week.

 

[Brocky]

DCE has been awful the last couple of weeks, feels like he will be gone June 30th, let’s hope so so we can move on from this debacle.and distraction.
