[Mark from Brisbane]

Every one of the last 4 games are the MIGOTY now, I don't think we can afford to even lose 1.

This weekend is no easy task, but if the Tigpies can do it so can we.

 

[The Wheel]

Imperative that we win - if we do expect a crowd on near 20k on a sunny Sunday afternoon against parra the following week.

Come on boys you can do it! even without our willie

 

[HappilyManly]

It's great that we have an afternoon game, so the track should be hard and fast - Win BIG Manly!

Watching that headbutt charge - Wow
How many times has JWH done exactly the same headbutt since the 2013 GF - without penalty

You mean the next 8!!!!!

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

Brenton Lawrence in for Willie

 

[Fluffy]

The equation is pretty simple now, win 1 more game than the dogs and or dragons and then its a F/A battle.

It looks to be in the top 9 now

 

[Eagles2nv]

If we want to make the 8, we have to win all 4 of our games.

The Dogs and Dragoons have a much easier run than we do. The donkeys let us down by letting the dogs win.

 

[Rodo]

Lui should be back this week so should press for a spot.

Was I seeing things. Last night it looked to me like Weighton caught the bomb on the full behind his goal line. The Tigpies stopped, and he instigated a 100 metre Canberra try that should have won them the game.
What amazed me is that the ref awarded a try without going to the video? WTF? They go to the video for the lamest reasons, yet when there is considerable doubt they don't!

It's called playing to the whistle as the Ref was giving the advantage .
I have seen it done a few times.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Did anyone on here see the NSW Cup game last week???

If so is BJ anywhere near ready for a call up?

I agree with that. But why no review?

 

[KOMORI]

Massive danger game.

When we last played these clowns it was perhaps the WORST performance I've seen by a Manly side in the modern era.

We turn up, play well we will get by these guys and do it comfortably. Cannot say I'm confident yet though!

Ha! I have not been confident at the start of any game I've watched Manly play in the last 4 decades.
Guess I just keep coming back for that adrenaline fix!!

 

[manlyfan76]

Whoever puts the Manly colours on just needs to channel the tuffness and determination of a former Manly half-back named G.Toovey.

That was not the true Manly. I'm sure we'll be ON for this match. We have everything to play for. The Faders are basically out of the top 8 race now. I'm expecting a big win. It's the most confident I've been all season.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Huge loss Willie being out suspended. Has been great with jake in the first 20 mins. Starling is a plodder, I can see Canberra running over Manly at the start, and we have a very small bench. If the forwards dont aim up, could be trouble for manly.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Would love a 4th consecutive win by 20+ points but the boys still have to take the Raiders seriously. The Raiders are still a chance because of their p/d if they win every game left in this season. It's up to us if we want to end their run completely or let it continue.
