[Kevinward777]

Knights forum confirms that Leulia, Scott and Roberts are all out and Jeremy Smith failed a fitness test.

 

[Eagles Nest 08]

I know it has been posted before. Sydney today is real nice & warm & sunny (for the people interstate or overseas), it has hit a high of 26oC !!

So a nice dry & fast pitch we hope.. !! Hopefully no real mildew either tonight.

If we're on our game, we'll beat them well.

Need solid mistake-free games especially from Littlejohn, Starling, Horo & Buhrer.
Also need to see some good things from our bench players - primarily few mistakes and good, solid, tough defence.

Have loved seeing Peta lift & perform so well lately, we know most of the other starters will likely perform pretty solidly.

The weather's been good there lately by the looks, will be a real nice night at the footy - enjoy, those that go!

Hope the boys put together many great plays both in defence & offense at Fortress Brookvale tonight!

Manly 13+

 

[bob dylan]

Manly by 8.

It will be tough this club is under the pump, but have some real grit.

 

[RiverEagle]

To all you who are going to Brookie tonight .... Bastards!

PS. River, you and I are on the same diet.

Yeah it remains popular for the (lazy) Aussie bloke doesn't it (and some ladies ).

Let's hope a really good win is our main course, mate!

It sounds like a classic backs-to-the-wall night for the Noughts. I just hope Tooves has been at them not to take this for granted!

I think it could be tight too.

And I hope the weather holds, and it's a great night for those going to the game!

Cheers.

In the 20s currently the score is
Manly 16
Newcastle 16
After 38min

Footnote Knights are running 1st

 

[stoodamire]

Rumour going around is that Boyd and Gagai didn't get on the team bus.

To strengthen this rumour, few of the NYC Newcastle players named didn't play, so they might have been promoted to First grade to cover.

Crazy rumour i know.

 

[niccipops]

Just home from work and realise I have pre-match nerves. I really hope the Manly men are taking this match seriously. They need a steady, 80 minute game. None of this slacking off in the final 10 rubbish.
Go Manly! Win big.

[COMMANDER]

sounds like defence was the winner

 

[Roger]

Hate these games when we should win easily but always struggle and either lose or just scrap home

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

$20,000 on @manlyseaeagles -9.5 @ $1.60. #nrlmannew

 

[Jerry1]

Scrappy so far - we should win this easy though.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Very scrappy. We really struggle with errors. Just need good simple solid football instead of looking to squeeze one pass too many. It's frustrating that we don't seem to be learning and adjusting to this. Anyway, still confident we should win this.

 

[6/71]

Hopefully that will switch the boys on.
