Pre-Game Dragons V Manly[Round 26, 2025]

[LeonardCohen]

Thanks, great to be back!!

Read it online as Joey debuting then someone else chimed in with the Walsh 6, Brooks 9 thing and

... someone's gotta keep Silvertails churning 😉

I think he’ll debut but it’ll be off the bench.

We still have a slight chance problem is saints have the last few years been a bogey side for us.We just don’t know which manly side will turn up.

 

[Eagle 1]

Tangible yes
Likely no

The planets are now aligned.
In front of a pact crowd the Storm will be heavily motivated to put the Walker less Chooks to the sword. Then up against a rejuvenated Souths side with lots of troops back in, notably Mitchell.
Dolphins have the Titans...probably a win.
Then Raiders, Ricky wants the minor P, Dolphins will put in, but once the blowtorch is applied they'll crumble.

 

[manly al]

Guess just based on the overall season , Manly just a bit more deserving then the Dolphins to be in the 8
Unless Manly "s form can get even a bit better then last Saturday for the two remaining games , really don 't deserve to get there ahead of the Roosters however
Defence would have to pick up quite a few notches as well
But , if Manly prevail well against the Dragons and the Wahs and the Roosters go down in their last 2 games with average from , would change the dynamics of Manly with more entitlement
Still a very big out with the big O on an edge so would take something pretty unprecedented and unexpected for the side to again progress too far in the finals , even if the Roosters and Phins continue to falter with their respective runs for a top 8 billing and don't make it

The Storm are resting quite a few this weekend, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Roosters beat them and put our season to bed.

It's still a pretty strong side though. I tip Melbourne by 16 and Manly by 26

I agree.
I also agree with @Mark from Brisbane and think it won't happen!
Tomorrow night we may be put out of our misery.
If not... we might build momentum and end up winning the comp! (probly not)

As the great Clint Eastwood said in Unforgiven, “deserves got nothing to do with it”.

If Melb come through, it's, do we dare to dream.....we'll, for one week anyways.

I wouldn't mind a William Munny style coach but Bennett has already got that persona going. A Little Bill style mentor wouldn't be too bad either I suppose. Certainly we'd win more than we lost. Right now we have the writer W.W.Beauchamp in charge and that's no good for anyone except the writer himself.
