Pre-Game Discussion - Manly V Tigers [Round 17, 2025]

[Rafferty]

You mean the competition heavy weights we beat 40-12?

Yep same blokes…….which means we should smash them…….can’t wait too see how we go…..maybe there’s some hope after all……not personal, just think we’ll be in for another tough night at the office…….

Yeah I saw last nites game and Tiges threw plenty at the Raiders. They sure seem like a team on the improve. Hopefully they have a bit of a letdown after a couple of big efforts lately that have failed to get the chocolates.

Interesting that sportsbet has odds up for R17 games except for the Manly-tigers game. Waiting to see the fallout from Manly's crisis? 😱

(grumble responsibly)

Interesting indeed, after watching Wednesday nights debacle anything’s possible, side note, sports gambling is a pox.

Sadly I think the Tigers will be more motivated than letdown, they have a side capable of making the eight, a win against us has them back on the edge of the eight and jumping over us. Let’s hope miracles do happen, we win and it’s us back on the edge of the 8………..

Another concern to ideally address A S A P: is the sides inability over the past couple of games to score points on a more consistent basis

The key word from your post is Consistent feathered friend
The Top coaches have their team on top because they have them attacking and defending better more consistently
Mediocre coaches will get you a win here and there . But they wont get you any where near competing consistently for a Grand final Challenge
A coach is Critical to a teams progress
Winning is won in a players heads before the game starts
Great Mentors have the ability to have a positive and Inspiring affect on their players

Tigers have lost their last 5 games.

Manly lost to Dragons when they were in a slump.
Manly lost to Parra when they were last to kick start their season.
Manly lost to Newcastle after they had multiple loses and about to be 2nd last
Manly lost to spoon Titans

Will Manly play the Tigers back onto form? 🤔

I think I will give up if we lose to this spoon team.
