GAME DAY - Manly v Bulldogs [Round 1, 2016]

[HappilyManly]

The NYC are struggling at 6-22 HT

But the hit our no 8 Eddie Paealiki put on the Dog's 8 is worth the price of admission.
6mins before HT near the North end - whooska, the ground shook and the Dog 8 was escorted off the field

 

[Fibro Eagle]

New coach new outlook excited for the game
C'mon Manly kick it n rip it

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

All you Prix who put the boot in and laughed at us last year, be very very scared.

Grand sentiment right there.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

FoxSports just said its Will I Am, so good luck with that !!

 

[Chip and Chase]

Snake out, TT fullback, Will I Am wing.

Vave bench, Mateo out

 

[Manlymaniac]

FoxSports just said its Will I Am, so good luck with that !!

He looked good at the 9's

 

[HoldenV8]

He looked good at the 9's

So did the Speels and look how they went last night.....

Lets hope that tonight is a drought breaker for the kid.

 

[Woodsie]

I am Willy looked to be a more confident, much improved player from last year.
I am prepared to give him another shot at the NRL, and like any bloke that doesn't give up and wears the Maroon and white, I will support him and wish him well.
Go Willy, rip it into em!!!

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Just hope Williame has a solid game the kid needs a good game or he will definitely end up being the whipping boy on here
C,mon Williame be a 2 try hero

 

[maxta]

Williame will get 1....Walker 2.....
Now keep those score updates please!

 

[HappilyManly]

Full time NYC 12-40 Chad Randall aint no David Heath

 

[HoldenV8]

I had a feeling that if Snake was out then Wiliame would be on the wing. As said, I hope that tonight is a drought breaker for the kid.

He looked a completely different player in the 9's (I know it's not really representative), but seemed bigger and fitter and far more confident in himself. I hope he has a blinder!

Lets hope so

 

[Chip and Chase]

8 debutantes tonight. That's the most since Round 1 2004 when we had 9. Remember who they were ?

 

[Prez]

Bets of luck to Trent and the boys tonight. It's been a long off season but we've finally made it to game day. Very exited to see the new look team, and with a bit of good luck on the injury front we should be thereabouts come the pointy end of the season. Hope it's a bumper crowd to start the season, rip in fellas. Go Manly!!!

 

[HoldenV8]

8 debutantes tonight. That's the most since Round 1 2004 when we had 9. Remember who they were ?

Andrew Walker (FB), Paul Stephenson (CE), Chris Hicks (WG), Jye Mullane (5/8), Michael Monoghan (HB), Daniel Heckenberg (PR), Nathan Hollingsworth (HK), Ian Donnelly (PR), Kylie Leuluai (Res), Shayne Dunley (Res)

And you can throw in Des who made his coaching debut that day.

None had played for Manly before that.

 

[Loobs]

Grant Goldman's cheats call - classic

 

[maxta]

Leulelia was a powerhouse wrecking.....Dunley a decent runner from dummy half & liked Hicks scoring a few nice meat pies..... not many there would start tonight!!

No weekend should ever start with a Sea Eagles loss......they know this.
