How to leapfrog Illawarra....

[maxta]

Q)
1- Illawarra MUST lose 1 game
2 -The differential points difference is currently 27 points between Manly & Illawarra - can Manly bridge this gap??
3 - Manly must win both games or rely on Illawarra losing both

A)
1 - Yes - Very good chance Illawarra will lose 1 of the 2 games.
2 - The Roosters game though tough - could be the easier game to score points than against Sharks at home, so all important for Snake & Co to cash in on great defence - keeping Roosters score down.
3 - Manly could unbelievably win 1 - lose 1 & make it on points difference but the truth is - Illawarra though massive chokers - will most likely win 1of their last 2 games,

Manly must win for the rest of 2015 - give the Fans something to smile about this crappy year

But I think the Dogs can lose their last 2 games 😛

St merge have the Titans and tigers. I would normally think these are cruise wins except Farah fair wells might lift the pies.

Losing to the eels ... Ouch.

 

[Cochrane]

Losing to the eels, yep. That's what we get for having a Parramatta appreciation thread.

We did lose to ****ty Penrith in Round 26 in 2013 at Brookie, then went on top make the GF

Let's not forget the roosters are still basically fielding a 1st grade team. They wont be easy to beat.

I don't think we need to worry about the roosters, as long as we play the best we can i honestly believe we have the better team. Having willy back to partner J Trbojevic will be great #gomanly

Would've agreed, except for our no 9 situation. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Yeah but we were resting players that game.

Ballin is a huge loss , whilst not being a " Jake Granville" in attack he's been crisp with his delivery, and let's not forget makes about 50 tackles a game in that middle area.

And remember last year when we lost Ballin at the death?

Results are out of our control now. And we're long shots.

But you never look at the scoreboard while playing your shot. And you never stop giving of your best until the final whistle.

yep, we lost 4 more forwards
