GAME DAY!!!!!
​

I've seen the canucks lose twice and still grumbling about the crap result against the shared brain cell collective that is Parra, so a win would be nice ya land-lubbers!

Go Manly!

 

[Dion Johnson]

See the best of Tommy in this game, looking forward to seeing him and Koula getting into space..

"20. Aaron Woods - Development Player"

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

Go Manly

 

[Jethro]

I wonder how much the man in the middle and the one in the vidiot box have a say in deciding the outcome of this game?

I wonder how much the man in the middle and the one in the vidiot box have a say in deciding the outcome of this game?

Hopefully not much as neither team are current NRL darlings, though we know how Klein can officiate Manly games, and we have Casey Clanger in the bunker as senior review official (bunker clown) so it will be an interesting ride at least.

<7.30 = true fan

 

[manlyfan76]

Be safe if your traveling down there

 

[Super Manly Bros]

Finally!!! Good to see Sipley in for Bullemor. Waddell has been taking over from Burbo so makes sense. I really wish we made a play for Josh Curran instead of Waddell but it is what it is.

Manly 13+ The Turbo n Brooks show coming up!

 

[dubLEs]

Be safe if your traveling down there

That kid towards the end. What a battler.

 

[Disco]

Ever the optimist.......but I'm going Manly 20+

 

[NREagle]

This will be a good win for us today.

The players that had quiet games (by our standards) last week against the eels will step up. DCE, Tom, Haumole.

And Sips will want be strong for the team after missing the first three matches.

I want to see our forwards working together and dominating. Get that right, get a roll on through the middle and the points will keep coming.

Go Manly.

 

[The Wheel]

Smash up in the Gong - Go Manly

 

[Wombat64]

Just tackle.

 

[Waz13]

Knock em out through the middle and this one gets ugly for the Drags.

Have thrown an extra tryscorer in the multi today. Turbo, burbo, Guac and dce into a manly win. That’s some sweet action!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Just DON’T take them easy this is far from a guaranteed 2 points.

 

[Once Was Brissie Kid]

Last year Manly bt Drags at Gong 24 to 18 (22 July 2023, crowd 14,872). The previous 8 visits were all Manly loses.
