PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly vs Storm [Round 1, 2020]

[40 years an eagle]

I still have a feeling Jake will play.

Finally!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Finally!

Close now!!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Great to see all the optimism on here and I agree I think we’ll have a good year BUT we usually get off to a slow start so I’m not reading too much into game 1 which I expect we’ll lose.

 

[Chip and Chase]

I'm so optimistic I bought my Grand Final tickets this morning. Let's do this !!!!

 

[maxta]

I see a changed up Storm side...Suli could be a real X factor if he get's opportunities...they still have a formidable pack and if matched up front, will go to the wire and maybe DCE will decide it with a late 1 pointer??

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Anyone like to predict the crowd numbers for next Sunday?

Sunday arvo , one of the big clubs ( as in drawing our fans in) , first game of the year , weather permitting I’m going to go right out and say , 17,200.

Fingers crossed.

Not so sure Mark with the panic factor of Covid-19. After watching my local supermarket, Woolworths in Berala, stripped of toilet paper, paper rolls, pasta, tissues, wipes, Detol, Panadol, babypads, flour and eggs quickly vanishing as well as canned food, and its been going on like this for over a week, not to mention the increasing number of face masks I'm observing, I wonder at the panic factor of gathering crowds. With the economic downturn, all I can say is what Han Solo said.....'I got a bad feeling about this'. I hope common sense prevails but I'm see no evidence of it locally. The amusing issue is that at some stage there will be a saturation point where people will have stored more goods than they can possibly need. Things will then appear again on the shelves (I'm thinking 2-3 weeks) and they wont sell.

The usual early season no shows with a few early Sunday showers scaring away the millenials. I reckon 13500.

Did we always get off to a slow start with Des? I honestly can’t remember. I do know that the Storm are close to unbeatable in round one through.

 

[Go manly]

I hope it is celebration ... becuase I have two $2 lottery tickets riding on the game with 2 evil Storm supporting girls .... one with Paris, the face of an Angel but the heart of a demon ... and one with Tia, the world's best barista and a practicing black witch ....

Take the lottery tickets
We will smash them
Win the cash and I believe a wooden stake through the heart or a silver bullet stops them from ever returning

You ain't see real panic buying yet.
Just wait till the Manly brew hits the shelf.
