Pre-Game Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

[manlyfan76]

It’s finished regardless of the next two results, the pain will only be prolonged. I called it back in April the club is in a royal mess.

Watching the titans game live it was clear they don't care.

As bad as Foran in Albury all those years ago?

Hopefully the Lehi injection will spark some enthusiasm.

Like playing in the school seconds team, where most were only there because they had to be.

It'll be a tough one to win alright, just think the home crowd might sneak us home. Pity it's not an 8pm game, the 6pm game wont be a full house but then again I could be wrong..

They better b###dy win, I'm taking the day off work driving over 300km over 3hrs with me kids to watch the game. Staying in an airbnb in bulldogs territory then bus to the train station to Circular quay then ferry to Manly then bus to the ground and all that again to get home. If they don't win this one me kids won't be coming back here again and my membership is done.

So there will be an extra 3 mad Eagles in the crowd yelling their heads off trying to sneak us home. If you hear a guy screaming his head off with a couple of 4pines in his hand wearing a sign Pepsi jersey with number5 on it that'll be me.

I hope it's not going to be a scream but instead a smile ;-)) and the drive home will be worth it.
C'MON MANLY

Lodge and Taukeiaho are capable of big games. We desperately need them to step up for the remainder of the season or we are absolutely finished. Unfortunately we have blown our chance to make the top 4, and with that any serious chance at winning the premiership, but our pack is capable of jagging us the bottom half of the 8 if they step up.

Seems a consensus that this could be Manly's worst pack in (10, 20, 50) years.
So..
if Manly shocks everyone and actually wins (!!!)... I wonder who who will get the credit?
My prediction -
No-one! it will be because Tigers are crap!

I’d say it’s a mark of how dire our recent form has been that anyone would consider a win over the tigers at home as anything other than a bare pass mark, and hardly worthy of “credit”. A more relevant question may be if our recent form continues and we lose a game we should win, who will get the blame (apart from the person we cannot name).

If panther lose to dog, bronc to warr, shark away to storm, rab beat dolp at home and we smash the tig we could be in 6th, if we just win we'll be in 7th, rooster get their last bye so will be in 5th so fingers cross. Tough games for teams ahead of us fighting for the bottom4 spots. We got the easiest of one the lot which is a bad sign I guess, so C'MON MANLY salvage the season starting with the tigers. I'll be happy with the bottom4, out first round is better than the spoon.

Benji will do exactly what Des did to us. He will get them throwing the ball around from the get go and Lodge will be gassed in 10 mins. How does he go from not in the 17 to starting prop??? And yep, the whole Jazz/Jake thing is very frustrating.

I want to say if we can just hold our own we can still win but as @susan noted, when compared to what is needed these days, this has got to be one of the slowest immobile forward packs in the comp.

I think we'll know early if we're any chance.

If what is being said, that Seibold has 2 weeks to turn things around ... I get the feeling a bit of panic might be setting in.

Is it wrong to be cheering for the Tigers and Souths in the next two weeks,just to get closer to a Seibold exit?Given how close the comp is,losses in those 2 games,may not spell the end of the season and a fresh,less gruff voice in the dressing rooms could make a difference

We don't want the spoon

 

[ManEagle]

As I said above, I feel for Jazz because this really isn't what he signed for.

FMD, one of our assistant coaches is Mick Ennis, himself a decorated dummy half and the one that Fox League is pushing to replace Seibold. You'd think at least he would know that makeshift dummy halves don't work.....

For all we know he might be telling seibold but falling on deaf ears.
But blind Freddy can see Jazz at 13, Jake to Prop rotation and Simpkins starting would have been a better option.
