The NRL is working closely with clubs, states and the game’s partners to address issues associated with the closure of matches to the general public (and other scenarios that may present).

An awful lot could happen in a week , TBH I’d be surprised if the competition isn’t suspended but only time will tell.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

If we play like we did today we will lose

We defended well. Remember that it was wet, Melbourne have won round 1 for the past 19 seasons, and Manly lose regularly in round one. The score didn't reflect the effort of the team. It was just that our backline never fired and Melbourne dominated possession in the second half.
Of course we can beat Easts. They weren't too impressive against the 'Riff.

I don't think any Manly supporters would want to go and watch this game live any way. Rooters by 22.

If the Rorters play like they did yesterday THEY will lose. We were better than them.

We'd finally have an official reason for the "Manly fans don't travel" rubbish the hacks prints every season

lol

 

[globaleagle]

We should show them no mercy, like in this vicious game of 'tic tac toe'

“We feel that minimising travel for all parties is an important precaution, and extend our thanks to the NRL, Manly Warringah Sea Eagles, and Fox Sports for working with us to make this happen.”
What a laughable excuse.
It must be cheaper for Easts to hire Leichhardt Oval than Central Coast Stadium.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Cordner and Crichton training.. of course they come back for our game. If its dry track we beat them. They were pretty average without there bought origin Australia halfback

More likely to get c-virus in high density leichhardt than gosford.

 

[winnyason]

Any chance of wadell and goewiski this week ?

I’d say it would be more to do with Central Coast Stadium not wanting to pay the Chooks the $100K or whatever it is and not get any revenue back. That’s the reason teams go there to play isn’t it?- they get a guaranteed gate.
I’d say also it’d also be better for Fox, the NRL etc by managing one ground, not sure on how the hiring of Leichhardt works but if the Tigers/NRL pay for the weekend hire it makes fiscal and logistical sense.

To be honest anything that can save money at the moment is ok, no drama with me in moving.

 

[Nuts]

I'm going to watch the game from the outside fence on Mary St as you can get a really good view of the ground behind the goal posts.

 

[jbb/james]

Cheaper, easier, probably less cameras.
Not sure but seperate changing areas etc would be a factor
Less ballboys for kick for touch
Calling games off tv.

But it will get cut real soon

Chichton at centre might well work in our favour.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

If we cut out the errors and get repeat sets we win this one.
