Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

[Chunkytuna]

The fact that we're all panicking about blowing another golden opportunity to move up the ladder will ensure a win tonight. We won't fall into the complacency barrell this time. The Knights are putrid and our backline will run rings around them. Forwards will aim up ok. Manly by 14.

What has happened to you mate? You’ve changed 🤣

NSW cup
Manly up 30 - 12 halftime
Was 30 nil till 2 late knights tries
This NSW cup is unpredictable, but Manly have been 20+ the better side in match play
Some good forwards, Sykes and Podge look strong and chee can tong dangerous from dummy half with 2 clean breaks
Vaega and Willett look ok on the wings and Walsh looks solid and involved in a nice try, but not involved too much, in fact Arthur the dominant half atm

 

[Disco]

I expect a big win.....so we'll probs put in a shocker

 

[Chunkytuna]

If Daly wants to keep getting that SoO money he'll step up big-time tonight, he has to.

Word is he’s gone no matter what he does. Which I’d be happy with. He can concentrate on helping manly.

I swear there is a few on here whose accounts seem hacked. Either that or we are experiencing Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

You might be happy with it, but secretly I’m not so sure Dollar will be…..he might take a few weeks to get over it.

Ok Manly score first try 2nd half after 20 minutes of back n forth
Arthur bomb plucked brilliantly by Willett, who beats a couple and inside to Walsh who scores
Just a real positive from this game, young Walsh has a super tackling technique and ethic, made some super 1 on 1 tackles including saving what looked a certain try

Jazz starting , Sippers to bench . Marzhew late inclusion

 

[maxta]

Full time
48 - 24
12 tries ALL converted, 3/4 from the sidelines !!

Walsh another super cover tackle on a breakaway centre. belting him down before getting assistance to drag him over the sideline

Score flattered Newcastle, Manly dominated 90% of the game

Are you feeling OK mate? Two weeks in a row now haha
I like the new & improved version.

Watching on from Broken Hill tonight , first night on power with water connection for 10 days.

****ing freezing out here , the air conditioning is working hard but getting prepped for a big win tonight ( yes I tossed the coin , it was heads ) currently have a nice St Hallets Faith Shiraz in hand , far too cold for a beer.

Last night at Peterborough at this time it was 1.1 feels like -2.3 ( yes at 7pm), currently 10 feels like 7 so it’s warmed up 😂😂😂😂

I think that may be the difference... If Jazz, Jake, and Croker are off at the same time, I have serious concerns about our middle defence. Always thought Sipley was absolutely rubbish from the bench due to his lack of defensive mobility. Pairing him with Waddell and Brown is a death kennel. 100 Arm grabbing tackles guaranteed.

Faulalo on Marzhew is the stuff of nightmares. I know the guy was good last week, but his opposite number was Mariner. Marzhew can meatball his way through that edge.

Call me pessimistic all you like, because I'm normally not, but this is exactly the sort of game we tend to lose.

I’m liking Jazz starting as prop. Two mobile, aggressive forwards starting is what we want. Go well boys.

Fark. Stay rugged up mate. I'll have a bourbon for you now.

Random one, but is this website super jumpy when viewed on a phone? It scrolls up and down randomly, with a life of its own. Anyone else?

Almost game time. Jim Beam & diet coke in hand.
It's time to fire up the defibrillator, polish the 2008 DVD and prep the forum meltdown thread just in case someone drops a kickoff.

Haumole’s out there turning blokes into speed bumps. Jurbo will make 63 tackles and apologise to each bloke he folds in half.
And let’s be honest, Croker’s quietly becoming the lovechild of Toovs and a Victorian greyhound.
Let's rev the engines. Roast the Knights. And if all else fails, we can blame the ref, the draw or Siebs.

UP. THE. MIGHTY. EAGLES.
