Game Day: Manly v Knights [Round01,2018]

Their backline could torment us. Makes it important we dominate in the forwards. With Uate and Tafua making yards from dummy half.. setting up our forwards like AFB and Tapau to dominate early. DCE can do some damage early on. If we don't get off to a good start and they match us.. they will beat us.

I think we will win by 4.
 
Interesting to see how Baz uses the bench. I don't think Siro played the full 80 in most games last year so I'd think that he'll use Winterstein to support the edge forwards.

Excited to see Lane and Kelepi in the forwards. Not too worried about Lane's defence. One highlight from his game last year was his hard hitting defence. The guy is second to Jurbo in brutality. Biggest concern for me are his post contact metres.
 
Our forward pack is way better than theirs and their spine is completely new. We're potentially weaker than them in the centres but if everyone plays well that shouldn't matter.
 
Earlier in the week I found the telecast (11pm here) and set the pvr.

Now on gameday not only can I not find it anymore, but even the recording that I know I set has disappeared.

****ing simmering at the moment. Someone over here working for sportsnet is just a manly hating ex-pat.
 
Regarding the centres, people forget how well Kelly / Taufua worked before the injury. Kelly was actually in fine try scoring form.

The other side, Akuila is Akuila, and in my eyes a gun. Not gonna lie though, I really wish Parker was in for Wright, who in my eyes is another Mitch Creary.

That's sad ... what's a pvr?
 
Is this match on 5pm Eastern standard or DLST, which will be 4pm in Queensland.
 
The dragons forwards layed the platform , we need to follow suit.
Also need the eager defence and some creative back line play that the Dragons also displayed . If all of the Manly 17 put in , really should be enough to get them home , still a good and competitive side on paper and providing the right player has the goal kicking duties .

That"s a good question . The N R L no doubt would require the Cows - Sharks game telecast at 8 p m E S T which of course would be 7 p m Q L D time . So based on this arrangement , the Manly - Knights game would be 6 pm N S W time or 5 p m Qld .

Yep, definitely 5pm Qld time.

Had a game of golf booked this afternoon that I have weaseled my way out of to watch the game at 5!
