PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Chooks [Round 2, 2019]

Yeah, I think people are dreaming if they think we'll come close to a Roosters outfit looking to bounce back. Each to their own though. My expectation is at an all time low this week.

01. Brendan Elliott
02. Jorge Tuafua
03. Moses Suli
04. Brad Parker
05. Reuben Garrick
06. Kane Elgey
07. Daly Cherry-Evans

Then insert other reserve graders in Tof Sipley (starting no less), Corey Waddell, Trent Hodkinson (the human speed bump) & Lloyd Perrett.

We are in for a world of trouble.

Are you going to the game?

that helps us heaps
He is key for them, big loss for them
Think still roosters tomorrow but by a less margin now 6-10 points
We have chance tomorrow now if we play smart.
Either us by 4 or roosters by 10

If there ever was a chance to beat the roosters now with Cronk and friend gone then tomorrow is the day.
Really gives us a chance now.

I have a sick feeling in my stomach that this will get very very ugly.

54-6 springs to mind.

40-0 by half time.

The result of a 15 million dollar team playing a 6 million dollar team.

With Cronk and friend in yes I would say to that.
But both being out specially friend for them will hurt them big time.
I would have said us getting done by 60 tomorrow was on the cards but now we are right in this if we play smart footy, if we play like the tigers did against us and starve the roosters of possession we can get them.
They are still a quality team and I still don’t like our chances but think this is going to be close.

Mate I hope like anything you are right.

But I bet if they were playing almost any other team those two would play.

Probably not 54-6, I’ll revise 36-6

 

[mickqld]

Will they get another exemption ?
How about Turdy just give them the 2 points and save us all the aggravation.

Are you going to the game?

I've been invited to a party tomorrow, so going to the game gives me the perfect excuse not to go
