Lets get this going! The footy is back after an a remarkable time, lets see what we can salvage out of this craziness Go Manly!

Footy is back. Go Manly!

 

[Go manly]

Footy is back. Go Manly!

I know-
Footy is back Go Clint !

Danger game for us! We'll be strong favourites and historically that often hasn't gone well for us.
In addition to which the new rules and the pandemic backdrop to this crazy comp mean players' mental fitness is largely unknown.
Strength of squad and the Des factor should get us home over what I expect to be a stubborn but limited Dog side.
I'm still surprised the comp is resuming now but if Manly are playing a game of footy, go Manly.

 

[globaleagle]

(when) Will Foz get injured?

Go Manly!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

If Foran plays it will be his 200th NRL game (147 of those for Manly)
So I'm sure he's doing everything he can to try to be there

 

[Dan]

Even winning the comp this year would feel hollow which is disappointing as we were shaping for a decent year

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Well I don’t know about the rest of you but just like that old advertisement with “ Big Kev”,

I’M EXCITED.

Sorry for those who haven’t a **** what Big Kev is!!!

 

[globaleagle]

Ordered ice in for the drinks!

 

[BOZO]

Ordered ice in for the drinks!

That ice will be used for the bruised , battered and broken Bulldogs

Winning a comp will NEVER feel hollow! Who are you Dan?

[The Wheel]

Quite a few quality players to potentially miss out. I could see Morgan Boyle pinching Taniela Paseka's position maybe. If and when Jack Gosiewski is fit, I could see Keppie possibly missing out.

I think if Jack G is fit he will come straight back on the bench.

Nice YART btw, things are getting normal in the NRL when YARTS starts appearing!!

 

[manly al]

Might still be an unchanged side after the impressive Roosters win .

Boyle was playing very very well in the first two games , he might surprise and be named!!

Ordered ice in for the drinks!

Was thinking of you recently (I blame isolation!) but anyway I pulled this out the other night for warmth!

Winning this year would be gold. Des has to treat it like a campaign such as the 78 finals mission, or maybe like a KB Cup. Build it to a climax.
