Pre-Game Manly V Chooks [Round 22, 2025]

[Hibyemama]

Melbourne beat Melbourne in Melbourne.

yep, Ive never seen melbourne played so bad since the 40-0 drubbing 😆

 

[ALinda]

where is jason saab? sure he dropped the ball for the bulldog try but he does more good than bad. Vital speedster and scores tries from bombs.

I'd think Saab's height as well as his speed would be of benefit, especially against a team like the Roosters.

 

[nightster]

You’re right gambling is not the answer! I played with those demons this year.

I’d rather find a way that puts food on the kids table than promises them food.

So yes we are not a mechanism for gambling and I have done my best for giving up substantial dollar offers from gambling agencies to protect that ideal.

By all means have a punt mate but do it within reasons and means.

I can’t stop or control whatever you want to do but what you make public here is within our terms to alter.

I’m a dad of 5 mate, 50/50 of 2, 80% of my step kids and 100% of my son. I’ll sell my kidneys before taking food from their mouths.

Anyway lets move forward in a positive way because this weekend is my annual boys weekend and ill be offline

My family is very similar 1 x 100%, 1 x 50% and 2 x step sons

 

[Bomb Voyage]

why the hell are we favourites in this one?

 

[The '47ers]

I'm predicting a Mark Nawaqanitawase hat trick

I'm.predict that you copied and pasted that surname!

Had to check 3x 🤣

 

[Rocky]

Umm - we are higher on the ladder and are playing at home - guessing those factors have something to do with it?

And the Rorters have been a bit hot & cold during the season.

Roosters have had the wood on Manly in their past couple of games and unless Manly can tighten up their middle and shut down the Roosters plays better , going to be a tough night at the office
D C E has a whole off season to recover and prepare for his Roosters stint and surely owes it to the club , supporters and team mates to put everything into his remaining matches in a Manly jersey
Maybe with a bit more opportunity in attack and putting in just that bit more defensively , Turbo can provide some better input and surely they are able to reduce those game changing and sapping unforced errors to at least give themselves half a chance
Surprised they are favorites , maybe the Bookies have some more faith that they can seriously bounce back and can only hope that it is somehow well founded

 

[Eagle 1]

There really should be a WTF emoji for us being favourites.

Or could it be the Chooks aren't that great anyway 🤔

Round 17.
Manly 56 Roosters nil.
The Roosters coach quit the next day.

 

[Cliffycomeback]

If we win this weekend it puts us in a strong position to make a late surge into the finals. The Dogs game was a setback but if we beat the chickens and come out of this tough periods with two or even three wins it will set us up nicely.

It would also have the added benefit of putting a serious dint in the roosters finals hopes.

Was that Fittler by any chance..lol.

 

[broadbeachm]

It's a knockout game for us we lose against roosters season over. Can't see us beating the Raiders . This is a must win

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Looks like both teams will be wearing black armbands on Saturday night.

If just two clubs means ‘multiple clubs’, then Ray Branighan and John O’Neill beat him to it.
