Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

[Wombat64]

Lube early. Lube often.

 

[Eagle 1]

Hey Siebold how about you earn your money and get stuck into some of these imposters you pick each week and then expect CONSISTENCY. Sick and tired of your pressers saying each week that you are proud of them, WELL WE ARE NOT 😡
It is your job to have these guys motivated to give 100% plus EVERY week, not just when they feel like it. If you can't do it then go away and coach something else.

I just want to know about any injuries that we may have picked up and injured players coming back for the next game, the rest , he can shove it...zzzz.

 

[Thewestisbest]

We'll somehow win this one. I have no clue how, but we will. 13+ too. Bet the house on it.

Apparently Oshay Olay will be back. Maybe he can bring back some pride in this team.

Mate, I really hope so.

 

[Thewestisbest]

Watching the presser this week, there was no mention what-so-ever of him being proud. The only things tat he mentioned was that he was disappointed and frustrated and the team looked disjointed, lacked cohesion and consistency in their performance.

He also said last week we were great about five times.He looked rattled to me.

Manly favourites again!
(god only knows what flaky info the Bookies are relying on. Clearly haven't been reading the Silvertails experts assessments)

Five losses in 7 weeks and they have us favourite.

(god only knows what flaky info the Bookies are relying on. Clearly haven't been reading the Silvertails experts assessments)

We have lost our last three at home and 5 of our last 7.
The only reason you could see see us as favourites would seem to be the Brookie factor yet that seems non existent- arguably our worst performances have been at home

I’d say bookies are counting on Cardigan and Haas not backing up.
If Cobbi and Walsh play hard to see us winning - unless the internal wrangling at the broncos is as bad as ours, which could be the case.

In other words
Anyone’s guess

I'd give a prediction but quite frankly who the fu*k knows what we'll serve up. Could be donkeys by plenty, us by plenty or us or them by 1. Seriously rapidly losing interest in this season and this schizophrenic team.

Sadly me too. I like watching wins, not losses.
The early season form was full of such promise, I haven't given up hope they can right the ship but it's all hands on deck right now for sure.

Maybe, just speculating, the bookies could be up to no good……surely not…….because it’s not like the dopey punting public care to understand what really goes on in the shady underworld of sports gambling………remember always gamble responsibly……..

What is everyone's prediction on the team line up for Saturday's game?

I've done a rough one in my initial post for this thread.

Some questions to consider are:

• Will Josh Aloiai be back?
• Will Siosiua Taukei'aho be over his calf injury?
• Will Toff Sipley, fresh from his suspension, be included in the line up?
• If one, two or all are back, what does that then mean for Matthew Lodge and Caleb Navale?
• Will Tommy Talau (who played in last weeks NSW Cup team) be picked on the bench or will Seibold opt for his favorite, Corey Waddell?
• Is Ben T over his illness, and if not, will Corey Waddell line up in his place again?

I saw burbo and aloiai in training photos. So you would imagine they will both come in. I dont reckon we can afford to have both lodge and sipley in the same 17 as they are both sloths. So i would imagine only one will make it. 🤷‍♂️

The donkeys are a rabble. I highly doubt Hass will back up given he’s carrying an injury into origin. Walsh not back yet I’m hearing. There attack is as bad as ours. Zero shape or structure with cobbo at 1. Add to that none of them other than Reno has played at Brookie you can see how we are favourites. Brookie not the easiest place to play at at the best of times. Harder still if you’ve not experienced it.

That said none of the above guarantees us a win.

Talau played last week? I would absolutely have had him in somewhere last week. Yes get him in the 17.

Any word on Jake’s condition?

We've become March Premiers. It used to be we were slow starters and strong finishers.

Which everyone also whinged about incessantly, if memory serves.

The Donkeys will lose at Brookie
And so will the Maroons
F*ck both of them!

 

[WiseyEagle]

Waddell the 80 minute player. Don't hold back

We're just on the verge of being a basket case ..... a few more losses like worse and we are confirmed basket case club and there will be threads everywhere will LOL@Manly
