Game Day: Manly v Warriors [Round 17, 2017]

[Holmsey]

We could get flogged today, Warriors are on a roll and we are simply not a footy side in the rain.

Have a little lie down and breathe into a paper bag for a while Turbo.

Don't worry plenty of time for that during the game. Everyone is a little optimistic about this game, Have we all forgotten what we produced against one of the worst teams in the comp a couple of weeks ago in these exact same condition, and the Warriors are a lot better side then knights.

 

[HappilyManly]

Fiz is playing, chip and chase over his dodgy hamstrung body

 

[Holmsey]

Keen to see B Parker get a run, hopefully has a cracker of a game in the backrow and pushes brown out, we are in desperate need of a fast, rangy, tall backrower who can run a line.

Right then ... let's all lose our shiit and panic. We'll be flogged!

Interesting is Parker going to play a sironen type role

 

[Mitch]

The thing with the Newcastle game was they held the ball, with minimal errors in their game. The Warriors don't play with the same control, I think we can certainly beat them well in the middle and if we hold on to the ball come away with points.

I'm very confident when we get in team's 20m zones, which I haven't been for a long time.

Also gee up I know we aren't the best in rain and I hate that it's raining I wanted to see a flogging.. but they are the Warriors.. api will have a field day with that youngster they have and our pack will roll there's. I just hope brown holds his own. watch for Jake to have a massive game and Marty will just be Marty so... manly 13+ turbo 2 tries dce to get 1 of his own

If he plays 2nd row I believe he will simply be told to keep the line intact, read the edge play and concentrate on defence.

Any attack will be a bonus.

He is a big boy - hope he kills it in first grade

Manly always go well with a ranger in the side

isn't he a winger and it says Kennedy not Parker on nrl.com

He's a centre.

 

[Chip and Chase]

The wet weather will suit the leg drive on Kapow, BJ, Jake and AFB. Slippery conditions make it hard for defences to aim up in the middle because a little footwork at the line is hard to react to in wet conditions so defences tend not to go for the big shots. If we play smart through the middle third we can dominate their pack and we have a lot of offload potential for second phase play. Hopefully Tommy can sniff around the middle looking for those late offloads in traffic.

 

[HappilyManly]

Use it or lose it Lewie

They had Kennedy to start with but have now changed it to Parker. He will probably share the edge with Brown.

Same height, just 10kg lighter

Brad is also a much faster runner than Siro
