Pre-Game Discussion - Dragons V Manly[Round 26, 2025]

[The '47ers]

Same. Has left a permanent mental scar. I think our dragons hoodoo started that day.

After years of dining out on our 61-0 win that other year I probably deserved it.

Not sure our record at kogarah is much better than the gong. Still remember that comeback game they won back in the early 2000’s. One of the few times I have been to that place, and the last.

Manly have played the Dragons at Jubilee Kogarah 9 times since they merged with Illawarra at the end of 1998 for the start of the 1999 season.

Since the merge, Manly have played them at Kogarah in:

• 2004 (Round 25) and lost 36 - 34,
• 2007 (Round 16) and lost 26 - 22,
• 2010 (Round 23) and lost 32 - 10,
• 2010 (Finals - Week 1) and lost 28 - 0,
• 2012 (Round 4) and lost 17 - 6,
• 2013 (Round 8) and won 18 - 24,
• 2014 (Round 19) and won 12 - 21
• 2020 (Round 9) and lost 34 - 4, and
• 2022 (Round 19) and lost 20 - 6.

Prior to the merge, Manly played the Dragons 24 times at Kogarah between 1950 and 1996.

Out of those 24 games, Manly had only won 8 games, had 15 losses and 1 draw.
