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

[Scorpio]

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

The last time Seibold left a club mid-season, they still lost the next 7 games in a row AND secured the wooden spoon in the final round.

How confident is anyone that this squad, with the current squad makeup, injury toll, and captain/leader who has publicly telegraphed that he doesn't want to be here anymore, will do any better with a different person talking to them in the sheds?

 

[Nordburg]

Yes in every sense of the word.

As I said to some numbnuts a couple of weeks ago on X ... being the only pre-1982 expansion club not to get the wooden spoon is a sense of pride for Manly and its fans.

The First Grade spoon has never made its way to Manly, and we don't want it to start now. Losing to the Tigers and Souths would go a LONG way to making the spoon a possibility.....

I’m definitely not cheering for the spoon.Its a sad state of affairs when you start saying “as long as we don’t get the spoon”

What a disgrace and demonstration of selfishness that our captain doesn’t come clean in the middle of a club crisis and player infighting. Thank you for your character insight Daly Cherry-Evans. You’ve destroyed our team and it’s loyal fans. At a time when we needed you most. RIP.

Zero ( it’ll be a guaranteed wooden spoon ).

Its like having Trent Barrett all over again.....

And I still say it was only Parramatta's greater spoon winning experience that saved us that day.

Lodge is a slow fat cxnt. The last time he played he looked like the fxcken Michelin man.

Must be why he looked tired?

He was running a bit flat. Let's hope he's pumped for this game 😉

Let’s hope this will be his last game! I have no doubt the boos will happen if we lose.
