[davohan123]

68-6 biggest ever loss is under threat tonight.

 

[Captain Moondog]

There's a meteor shower due tonight between 8pm to 11pm in honour of our inevitable victory.

Spectacular meteor showers will be visible in Australia skies tonight

Stargazers are in for a treat this week as a trio of meteor showers are set to light up Australian skies, with the first one illuminating the east coast from Thursday night between 8-11pm.

That result will be left in the rear-view mirror. Honestly if the Roosters score any less than 80 they will have embarrassed themselves.

I’m actually pretty excited to watch the boys tonight. Expectations are non existent so pressure is 100% off.

Congratulations to the players on debut. Especially keen to watch young Fulton ripping in..

Manly -7

Just reading the few comments above am I the only one who thinks this team list is still pretty decent (at least considering 7 out)? Two of the new players are wingers, so minimal disruption there. The players that come onto the bench are fine and want to be there. Keppie out is good. Schuster out is great given his recent form and attitude. Finally, Paseka has been keen to rip in lately.

We definitely have no right to win, but I think we can

Well D-Day/night is here.
Scared for the result but proud of our representing players.
Leave nothing on the field Manly men.
Play your hearts out.
Go Manly!

Two wingers who have never been sighted in the same post code as a first grade jersey, several key players only just coming back from Covid, a spare parts forward pack, a bench (possibly starting?) hooker who hasn't played first grade in something like 3-4 years, and a scandal threatening to rip the team apart. They might surprise, I can see a hypothetical world in which that happens, but I rate our chances of winning at far less than 1%.

I'm more concerned whether the covid three have fully recovered - I doubt it & I am suffering Harper flashbacks

Let's hope the new blokes don't take their Blacktown Workers' form into the match.

I have a feeling the players are excited for this one

Edit* good point re: covid though

True

 

[Go manly]

I wish I could be there at the game
Been a long time since I was thus fired up
For all the boys and I mean all of them
Just spoke with snake the champ & bro
Never ever underestimate desire and some luck
Fuk em all

 

[Pete W]

Maaaaaaanly Maaaaaaanly !!!

Backs against the wall, no hope at all... just the way we love it.

Feeling proud to be a Sea Eagle.

Give 'em hell boys!

Hasn't there been enough gay rhetoric?

 

[ALinda]

Just when I thought the week couldn't get any worse...it does...Atkins is the ref. God help us.

Despite my grievances with the hierarchy, I'll stay loyal and off to Brookie to cheer on my beloved team. Hoping its not too painful. Go Manly!

Oh he’ll be loving an 80 nil flogging , he absolutely hates us with a passion.

But, we are still a chance.

C Mon Des, I am dying to write Smug piece of schiit Robinson outcoached by Des.

 

[JenEagle]

this is just so frustrating. Last week half the team is out with covid. This week half the team are out because of this terrible situation with the jersey.

You gotta feel for des and the coaching staff.

Surely they get a full squad to pick from next week.
