Pre-Game Manly v Dragons [Round 18, 2021]

[Simonmyers11]

Will be Won in the forwards. Hoping Sipley can play. If we get enough possession and territory we should win this. Foran, Shuster and DCE will provide enough chances. Hoping its not the forecast rain (although only minimal at the moment)

We just need to be more disciplined. No stupid 6 to go on the last, silly dropped balls etc. Control the game and we can defend their attack.

 

[Simonmyers11]

If Chez backs up along with the inclusion of Schuey I think we will see a huge improvement this week. We will be looking incredibly strong from round 19 onwards with the the return of Turbo and Jurbo and origin in the rear view mirror.

agree.

 

[eagleron]

But how many minutes has he played in total - maybe 30 or 40? or less?

There's been more quality in those minutes than anything jetski has produced in all his time on field, jetski should never see first grade in a Manly jumper again, this is a joke by Hasler

 

[eagleron]

We've won 9 of the last 12 with his interesting selections but you tell em.

Also we lost by 8 to the Knights......

Jetski was missing from those games

100%… yes we were missing DCE and Turbo last week but the reason we lost the game was because we didn’t get the basics right. Ball control, discipline, and smart kicking. We actually defended pretty well for the most part.

If we get the basics right this week we’ll win. Might be a bludger but we’ll win.

 

[Waz13]

Sorry have to say last week was not just a one off.

I fear Friday, even with DCE back and Josh that won't be enough. We just can't play decent footy without him.

The Cowboys disagree.

 

[Waz13]

and the prize for the most ironic post of the year goes to..............

Wasn’t there Alanis morrisette references doin the rounds recently about being ironic? Was it Rain or Ryan on ya wedding day?

Yep we were silly not to play canberra through the middle more, we went wide too early time and time again.

 

[eagleron]

I think a stationary bike should solve that problem

And that bloke who slams his leg before matches on standby as well🙂

 

[The Who]

Turbo was never going to back up for the Illawarra match so why did Mumbles name him in our team?
Does he think we can't handle the truth?

 

[Peter C]

Yep, we were playing as if Tom was still in the side.

 

[Shoe1]

Freddy really ought to rest turbo so he is right for Friday night. #Priorities

Yeah it’s very strange, you think he’d atleast wait until 24 hours before kick off. It makes no sense to name someone and then within the next day say they’ll be rested.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Yet another danger game that sets up as one that we may well lose just like the Newcastle game and raiders

dragons will be fired up to prove a point

This is Des, I’d say turbo is a chance.

 

[ManEagle]

V'landys needs arse kicking over the feather duster treatment of these grubs, is he a saints supporter or what?

He comes from the Gong, I read somewhere that indeed he is.

 

[Mitch]

Haha look I was thinking the same - I just don’t see a reason why you’d say that so quickly after teamlist Tuesday and so far from game day.

I wouldn’t rule it out…

Freddy really ought to rest turbo

Freddy wants his name against a clean sweep, This entire bull**** is about Freddy and money. But until the fans of NRL band together and force SOO to the end of the season, it will continue as a mid season additional salary cap on successful teams.

 

[Will on the hill]

Turbo doesn't train for 2 days after a game, he is no chance. On the bright side he has at least 5 days between all games for the rest of the year.

But there in lies the problem.Part of the reason it’s not at season end is due to the poor ratings,as evidenced by last year.
