Pre-Game Manly v Storm [Round 16, 2022]

[The Who]

Dessie really did us a favour not picking Paseka the last few weeks, despite his availability. Aloiai’s gone down and only now does Paseka get an opportunity. You’d have to think he’ll be extra hungry to make a statement...if he has a big game, it’ll help offset the loss of Oshay, who has been our best forward the past month.

Tent may be almost as big as Nelson but, unfortunately, he is nowhere near as destructive.

 

[Under the Sticks]

Meaney to 6 and Pappy to fullback for the drizzle. Let’s hope Pappy is underdone.

Game day.

Manly will win.

 

[BOZO]

what chance are we against a well drilled Storm outfit?

We'd have to break a 2.5 year record to get up.

Records and salary caps are meant to be broken feathered friend

So there is always hope

You miss this game and you could miss a big win for Manly

Dont risk it Ryan !

Des and Bellamy are 17 wins each as coaches against each other.

I wonder who will hit the lead afta tonight 🤔

I think Des used to be the only coach with a winning record against Bellamy. Last couple of years have seen Bellamy even the score.

We went up at $4 initially. We're in to $3 so someone obviously thinks we're a hope.

Personally, I think we are capable. Just need to hold the ball and be patient. DCE's kicking game will be key. We can't afford him putting in one of his "headless chook" displays. He needs to act his wage.

Hopefully the Storm will be brought down to Manly's level. Preparing and playing at a cold damp night at an empty Brooke is not the usual excitement pumping level for our Melbourne visitors. With any luck the grass will have been kept long too.

The $4 was an early price anticipating Munster was going to play, we are certainly a chance if they play like they did against the Cowboys, forgetting the last 8 minutes.
