Game Day: Manly v Cowboys [Round 3, 2017]

[Ralphie]

The fact is last week we totally blew Souths of the park in the first 12 minutes scoring 3 unanswered tries with our strike power .

I agree, we should declare full time at the 12 minute mark.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

I dont think so feathered friend . If we hold on to the ball and get a fair go from the refs then I believe our team will give us a fair chance of a win .

I hope you're right, BOZO, and I admire your optimism, but I've yet to see any evidence this season that we can hold onto the ball or get a fair go from the refs.
I don't give us much chance of winning so I'm hedging somewhere between a narrow loss and a horrifying blowout.

A horrifying blowout would confirm the Tallis no player gives a fck about Manly .
No NRL team should lose by 50 if they have any pride in their club and coach .
It is up to our boys to do their talking on the field and I cant wait to see what they will be saying tonight

[ManlyTragic]

Yeah. We just get used to it up here. Like mosquito bites.... 🙂

Yeah but what if they sting you on your balls!

 

[Ben]

Will be good to see Hastings get a run tonight. Hopefully get good mins to push his way back into starting side and full time kicker. Too good for Blacktown.

That forward pack needs a Boyd, a Ward, a Randall or even a Ron Gibbs it's got no grit no agro ...... sorry, but overall it's just plain soft - hopefully I will be proven wrong!

 

[eagerbeaver]

Don't know if this is confirmed anywhere, but just heard on MMM that DCE is out.

 

[BOZO]

Hopefully Myles who usually is capable of doing the hard yards when we is called on to play for QLD can lead and inspire from the front .
Jake is young but he is tough and Lawrence is a tough nut as well. Siro and Winterstein are big boys and have the frames to put their bodies on the line .
Our Bench without Kappow Luscick ABF and the giant Perrett looks small but if they play with a never say die will to win they can make up in spirit and compete .
We can win this game . We do have the talent and if we have the desire and discipline the game is ours

 

[Harvies elbow]

Also on MMM it's breast implants for Ryan Girdler if we win......
Oh please win !!!

Winterstein is rubbish mate. Complete rubbish. I haven't seen one standout action he has made since making his debut. Wouldn't be in any other teams top 17, apart from ours.

I'd rather Green, Horo, Symonds, Buhrer or Mateo.

 

[The '47ers]

my prediction ... cows by 13+ follwed by 7 days of
*sack barrett
*sack dce
*sack myles
*sack brown
*sack korisau
*sack walker
*sack green
*all hail jesus... tom turbo
*cullen is the best thing since sliced bread

ummmm and some rain..

I love rain...

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

50 is a very big number, points that is, and rare to have that scored against a team.

The Boys have a few out so they won't quite be the well oiled team, despite the quality of their reserves.

But with Thurston / Morgan still there gee it's hard not to predict a cricket score tonight.

I'm out at a function tonight, so won't be online until the game is over, or just about over.

Hope I'm pleasantly surprised but I'm not expecting it!

 

[Midnight Rambler]

My mandate has been the same since round 1. I just want them to tackle & tackle hard.

 

[Woodsie]

Fact is, if we even get within 20 points playing with only 2 props it will be a great result.

There is a reason every team go in to a game with at least 5.

 

[davohan123]

Don't know if this is confirmed anywhere, but just heard on MMM that DCE is out.

Bettings odds have not changed for us ... To me they are more reliable than MMM callers but if DCE is out looking forward to see how Hastings goes.

 

[niccipops]

Queensland media rant: I'm out tonight and may not be able to sneak away to watch my team - might be better for my overall health and mental state.....
Driving away through bush towns and winding mountains the only radio reception I get is ABC.
This morning's sports reporter said "The injury and suspension ravaged cowboys to take on Manly."
It made me irate. If it had have been talk back I would have phoned up and set the facts straight about injuries, suspensions, a roster of 23, due over a million $ of our cap being too broken to play!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr lots.
Go Manly!

It'll be one of the Cowboys greatest ever victories if they can sneak past us tonight!!

 

[Harvies elbow]

Off to watch the rest of super Saturday with Souffs and rorters supporters.
Lucky me !!
MANLY TO WIN.
GO MANLY !!!

 

[JenEagle]

I don't understand why Winterstein is in first grade for Manly and Jamie Buhrer is playing for the Knights.
