Alot to look forward to with this game, normally don't feel that way playing the Knights, it's more meh game to me.

Really Keen to see how Froggy goes as the main man, hopefully a shot of confidence and takes control.
Weekes back at the back, Jakob playing his first game and can Shu go back to back with a standout performance while improving his defence. Alot of backs the forwards need to muscle up....

Yeah I'm Keen, Manly be Keen, be tough and rip in !!!
 
I don't understand how the Knights can be such raging hot favourites. I am expecting a lot of tries in this one but I still think we will win by 8-10. Manly 32 Knights 24
 
Just be nice to see our forwards make yardage a bit easier.. We have been so embarassing with our general speed in attack and defence. If our forwards collectively play well with a bit of aggression and mongrel we still have a bloody good backline to capitalise. Go Manly
 
and for you punters ... put a lazy $10 on ..

Manly 1-13
Koula anytime try
Weekes anytime try

That should buy you a dinner .
I'm with you mate - if this is to be an 'upset' (Ridiculous odds) I reckon we can go on with it too. The mediocre Knights are by no means a comp threat.
 
Maybe a bit over the top but today is must win imo. In such a tight competition you could look back at the end of the year and not getting a win in 2 attempts against a team like the Knights could be the difference between making the 8 or not. If we can’t beat them without our origin players, then we aren’t beating some of the other teams we play over this period and we could easily be out of contention by the time it’s over.

  • Their home game
  • No DCE
  • No Jake
  • No Turbo
  • 2 Manly rookie forwards with about 1.5 games between them
  • new Manly half has only been here for 15 minutes
  • Knights close to full strength
  • When we played recently we had DCE Jake and Tom but it was only a draw
  • Knights have 2 quality players as shock omissions from Origin so keen to make a point.
You're right though, aside from that it's hard to understand! 🙂
 
Actually looking at our squad we could easily do a number on the Knights today ie. 14-28 pts margin in our favour. I am being a bit more conservative and tipping us to win by a comfortable 8 pt margin. We have X Factors right across the park. Knights are **** even if they are full strength.
 
Connor Watson mentioned on ABC radio that Ponga fired up for the game today after missing origin selection.

Unfortunately Ponga has had that many concussions, does he even know what SOO is anymore?

I guess Manly should forfeit, don't wanna face a fired up Ponga.
