Our draw and those stating 0-7 or 0-8

[Disco]

I've had a busy week but have had a little glimpse on here on and off and seen a number of posts claiming that they cant see where our next win is and we might be 0 and 6 or even go through to round 9 without a win.

Now I dont want this thread to turn into another *we are ***** *Barrett V Hasler* or *Dump Taufua and Parker* thread but instead just purely look at our draw

Warriors
Souths
Knights
Dragons
Raiders
Bulldogs

Am I missing something here?

Only Souths seem to really be clicking from the above, I think the rest are entirely beatable.

Warriors just got hammered but the Tiges and sure Christchurch might lift them but the motion might also overwhelm them

Knights are scarier with Ponga at fullback

Dragons spine is a mess

Raiders are fine.....but hardly killing it

The Dogs are the worst team in the comp

I think our upcoming run looks very manageable

 

[The '47ers]

The problem is not the opposition.....

 

[The Who]

We rarely beat Illawarra, so I can't see that changing. But we are a chance against Worriers, Knights, Faders and Dogs.

 

[Class of 96]

Good post mate. I could have sworn we had Souths, Storm, Broncos and Sharks away for the next few games judging by the mass hysteria on the other threads. Thanks for bringing a bit of commonsense to the table.

 

[Stevo]

We'll click soon mate. Maybe we'll even pick up a new centre in the near future.

 

[manlyfan76]

I blame Barrett.
Des is the bla bla bla




Undefeated from here on!

 

[Under the Sticks]

Thank @God for that!

This team has promise and the past two weeks weather has been awful.

 

[ManEagle]

Agreed, each one is there for the taking if we aim up, if we get over the warriors without injuries (always a worry against them), the confidence gained, even an inform Souths could be shaken.

 

[Ryan]

Hey, I can see us competing with The Dogs.

Hopefully 2 rounds later Hoppa and Walker are back in the team, we have no injuries, and can start climbing the ladder then.

There's a big difference between being positive and a realist. We may even Ben okay against The Dragons

 

[Sue]

It’s not so much the draw it’s where we play them

Warriors away with huge emotion / winnable
Souths at Brooky, well good luck there
Knights and Dragons away have been graveyards for better teams than this

Canberra and Dogs winnable for sure

0 from 8 NO
1/ 8 maybe
2/8 most probable
3/8 a chance
4/8 unlikely but keeps you in the hunt for the eight

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Years of pain and frustration takes a bit of getting over! A early win would do wonders. I hope it’s Saturday.

We'll beat saints mate .

The problem is, the way the tigers played against us they were entirely beatable. They dropped a ton of ball and gave plenty of chances to a team that just wasn't up to it to capitalise.
The roosters trotted out a team with a 2nd (then third) string halfback and a second string hooker. They were entirely beatable... And they decimated us.

Problem manly face is having a below nrl standard team on almost all positions.. Either due to players own stupitity, journeyman no names, and untested rookies..

We will lose more than we win this year, that's just The way it is

Take turbos,dce,tapau Thompson,and Api out and I say not 1 player we field is guaranteed a start at any other nrl team. I like sirro, I like afb, but no club would jump on any of our guys to lure them into their current Starting 13, and only a handful (like afb) would be a guaranteed bench spot.
That's just an honest assessment in my opinion of the current manly team

 

[Chip and Chase]

We'll beat saints mate .

Recent history suggests otherwise, and overall history against them is woeful.

We are a chance of rolling the Warriors, as our record against them is good. Prior to last years loss we'd only lost once in previous 14 meetings

If we don't get up this weekend I fear we'll be waiting till the Raiders or the Doggies before we break our duck

 

[Disco]

Haha without any bias AFB would start at most clubs

As has been said previously on here with posts that allude to reason, common sense ,and logic
THEY HAVE NO PLACE HERE ON SILVERTAILS!!!
This is the place for blind panic ,lemmings off the cliff , babies out with the bath water and headless chooks ,come on man get with the grove we won’t win another game until 2021 all the experts and rocket surgeons know that as fact!!
Seriously we can beat the Worriers
GO Manly!!!

 

[pjayz]

We will beat the Warriors, Raiders and Dogs. I also think we will cause an upset against the Knights in Newcastle.

 

[Fluffy]

we need to compete for more that 30 minutes to win a game.

 

[Fluffy]

most of those teams we think we can beat no doubt have us penciled in as a winnable game as well.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

I think back to 2 seasons back and reading the same predictions of 0/8, then we went up and flogged the cowboys on their home patch
