Welcome back Jethro! Love your work!!

 

[NREagle]

How good is it seeing the official pre-match and game day threads....it's getting close!!!!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Your old fave Reading the Play is predicting we'll make the 8. Surprisingly, since he's not a Manly fan from what I can gather.

Ha , Gerard , he hates me , I can’t see him anymore , ****ing Wanker

 

[Disco]

Free with Alinta energy sports package.

Alinta are hands down the worst organisation I've ever dealth with

 

[jbb/james]

Alinta are hands down the worst organisation I've ever dealth with

Have you flown qantas lately. They are a dead set menace to society.

Matched equally by Jetstar

Really? They were great to me.
Had an issue where Kayo didn't apply my voucher the second year and started charging me. Kayo would not help, Alinta credited me the money kayo charged me ( 3 months kayo), then sorted out a new voucher for me. Best bit is we have solar and our last bill was $25 for the quarter.
10/10 from me.

 

[WiseyEagle]

Well I see nothing's changed over at Fox. The season preview show which went for 90 minutes had at least a 5 min discussion on every team except 1. Barely got to 2 min on Manly and no fox lab prediction finish. All that was mentioned new coach, Turbo the only player mentioned.
As usual Rorters, Scumatta, Dogs, Penriff, Souffs, Broncos got between 5 to 10 min of in depth analysis. Fu*kofffox.

that's exactly why I am not watching fox sports this season

He's a Bears fan

 

[WiseyEagle]

It’s probably the most important first game of the year , in a decade.

So so much relies on us getting a good start, for the team , for the fans and to stick it up all the pricks who are picking us to run 14th.

that clarkey has turned on us this year

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

He's a Bears fan

Yep , that’s why he hates us so much , I called him on it on Twitter and he blocked me , arsehole!!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

that clarkey has turned on us this year

Yeah I don’t bother with his **** either , another wannabe wanker !!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Welcome back @Jethro

Hope you enjoyed the off season

 

[Waz13]

Thought the dogs looked awful in the trial. We should take care of business at home. Real shame about the Schu as I was very keen to see him run out in the 6. That said Cooper Johns has impressed me so far as well.

Manly 32
Dogs 10

Guac 1st try scorer
Turbo 1st second half tryscorer
Koula last try scorer

 

[NREagle]

I hope Weekes is a regular in our 17. He has something about him...

 

[Shoe1]

Last year, we won four in a row Rd 3 to Rd 6 (Bulldogs, Raiders, Knights & Titans)

On fire

You're spot on @mickqld. I just rewatched/timed it and the Manly talk was less than 90 seconds (whereas many of them were over 4 mins.) Not only that, they didn't even bother showing our Predicted Finish like for most other teams. (Their predictions are a joke anyway...Dogs finish 15th?!)

 

[40 nil]

On fire

indeed

However, to be successful in the NRL, wins need to be strung together, especially against lower ranked opposition. If this can done against the top ranked teams, it indicates a team can be a real force in the comp.

In 2021, I don't think we won more than three games in a row* and we had no wins against top four teams, indicating we weren't a serious title threat. If the stars align injury-wise, it could be a much different scenario in 2023.

edit: on one occasion in 2021, we won four consecutive games (Rds 22-25), and on four occasions, we won three consecutive games - weird season

Yeah I was only half joking, I was very pleased at those wins, manly was going pretty well, on track for the 8.

 

[Alfreddo]

Very important to start of on the right foot here especially considering we get a week off the following week. We should score either 5 or 6 tries with these players. Garrick should kick atleast 4 or 5. So 28 puts minimum for us. We should hold the Dogs to either 2 or 3 tries. At the end of the day we should win comfortably. A 10-18 pt margin.

28-16 most likely result.
