Pre-Match Manly v Roosters Round 22 2017

[HappilyManly]

We are due a good win

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Lottoland is due (or overdue) to become our fortress. Roosters are due to be cut down to size. A win here will turn everything around for us.
Clearly...MIGOTY!

Defence, defence, defence. Defend until we've earnt the right to attack. Let's rip into em and get back the mentality we've had for the majority of the season. We have been out enthused for the past three weeks

Tipping Darcy to knock JWH out in the first 10. Gets sent off, then we go on a 12 man flogging of the Roosters. (JWH fails his HIA, plays no further part).

FOX.....
Sea Eagles mail: The Sea Eagles are without Addin Fonua-Blake after the prop was charged with a careless high tackle on Cooper Cronk. He’ll miss a week after taking the early plea. Dylan Walker is wearing a moon boot due to bone bruising but will be named.
Roosters mail: Boyd Cordner will be rested for another week with a knee issue. Jake Friend is a chance to return from a broken hand but Victor Radley will retain the No.9 jersey if Friend doesn’t return despite suffering a thumb injury on the weekend. “We don’t know how much longer Friendy is going to be out for,” Aidan Guerra said.

Well if ever a game was MIGOTY then this is it.

Lose badly, and we are done for 2017.

Win, and we stay hanging in there.

I agree feathered friend . This is the game were every player will have to contribute and not just make up the numbers .
Every player must show their worth to the team .
We cant have forwards making 30 metres and arm grabbing their way defensively and we can have backs missing tackles and dropping balls as this is a recipe for another flogging .

Even if we get flogged again, I still don't think its over.

Still 8 points up for grabs after that and all against bottom 8 teams.

Personally if we get flogged again in front of our home ground then we are fcked as serious finals team .
3 strikes and we are morally out .

 

[Danly Manly]

If we lose this one, i tip us to scrape in at 8th.

If we win, i reckon we will finish in 6th (5th if we can get a couple of big wins)

 

[Holmsey]

Lets flog the cocky cocks!

 

[eaglebuzz]

Win this and we should still be able to grab a position in the bottom half of the 8. Possibly even top 4 if the Broncos' form stays down.

Lose this and I think we miss the finals entirely, or maybe just barely make the 8 to get spanked in week 1 of the finals.

Either way I think next year is going to be a better year.

 

[Mitch]

AFB and Cullen out. Brad Parker and Perrett onto the bench. Tanginoa in the 21 man squad.

No Cordner, Gordon or Friend for Chooks, although Friend has been named in the 21 man squad.

I guess parker can play wing, centre and backrow. So if wright and kelly are poor again he may come in handy.

Happy, we've always gone well with two utilities on the bench this season. Maybe more responsibility is put on our forwards, or we can always have a fast, energetic dummy half rather than a tired api 60mins in. I'm not sure what it is but it worked a while ago, let's hope it works again. Parker may just add enough pressure on Kelly/Wright that they lift and reset their standards

Sunday 11:40 till 5pm it's Eagle Rock on FOXNRL

 

[BOZO]

That's why opinions are so awesome. I can have mine and you can have yours!

Well said feathered friend 🙂
I hope this Sunday our beloved Sea eagles makes us both happy with a big win !!!

Jorge gone 2018.

Manly Sea Eagles Winger set to be moved on after the 2017 season.
It is understood that the playing future of Jorge Taufua on the Northern Beaches is set to come to an end, with Coach Trent Barrett unable to guarantee Taufua a spot in his squad for the 2018 season.

Sounds more like a money thing - 4 Clubs after him

All the best to Jorge in whatever he decides

Our Depth in the Backs
Tom
The two Wrights (slow)
Kelly (slow)
Parker
Walker
We missed out on the Jet but I am sure the club would have another flyer in mind If we want to have that Killer instinct across our back line

He is over in England (Or France?) at the moment with Sene-Lefao, Horo and another former nrl (possibly manly) player who i can't remember on the spot. Ever since i knew he had been up there i've been wondering if he's possibly been talking to clubs, interesting

Still not buying it until official though
