Such an important 2 points today, a loss will really set us back to be more in line with teams running 8th to 12th

Lose this and it's season over for the top 8 IMO. Simply cannot drop any more home games. We've lost 3 already. 2 at Brookie against Rorters and the sh*t Titans. That was a huge loss and needs to be made up for.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

there are a few actually, one in the Jane Try stand that your hear on TV and a few on the hill in different areas.

Haha the guy on tv i mean he goes off every game for as long as i can remember

We will get them unless it rains.. we suck in the rain. Right now the rain has stopped so fingers crossed. Has to bloody rain for our game 🙁

 

[The Royal Soup]

Dragons will win

Refs will be a farce as usual

We can’t play wet weather football

Our best chance was a dry track, we will get a toweling today

Yep it’s a funny one.

You would think the fact we have a relatively slow backline , a very good starting pack , a great kicker in general play and good structures in defence this year it should suit us more than hinder us and in fact bring speedy sides back to our level.But for some reason we look terrible in any sort of weather.

Only reason I can think of is we are very ordinary in terms of defending bombs, drop a few and this leads to tries conceded ,a lack of possession and bad field position but that seems a bit of a stretch.Maybe the lack of a top tier second kicker hurts also.

Professional rugby league players should be able to handle different conditions. It’s a mystery we need to work out because this time of year there is normally plenty of wet tracks.

VIP game . Lose and back in the scramble with a bad home record. Not a great recipe. Tend to agree with Mick. If we can’t win this one with the Dragons hsving lost 6 of their last 7 and plenty of injuries the eight will look pretty shaky.

Were still paying $1.57 to win lol Funny that, I thought it would pretty much be evens Stephens odds. Whoever put $50k on us..good luck bro 😛

 

[Sue]

Yep. I think we will rid ourselves of the rainy blues and get the two points but 1.57 is absolutely ridiculous given our previous wet track record and record against the Goons.

 

[brad]

We'll win this.

Someone has had to put some big money on us for a Manly win today to be that price against our #1 bogey team St Merge.

 

[TimmyQ]

We'll win this.

Enjoy the game brother! Fingers crossed 🙂

I hope they know something we don't mate. A win today would be massive for us this season, a defining moment!

Looks like a heavy track after the rain . Injury free and a win would be great. Gasnier getting laryngitis before kick off would make it perfect.
