Greg Alexander's thoughts
Manly have had a tough five week campaign, which ended with a loss last week, so they'll be keen to get back in the winner's circle. They get Kieran Foran back, who they've missed; and while they've done a great job to battle on without him, last week it was evident that they really did miss him. They missed his class on the edges, so that's a really big plus for them. I don't think they lose too much with Dean Whare coming in for the suspended Steve Matai. The Dragons got out of jail on the weekend and that snapped a three game losing streak, so they needed to come up with a win. Although not super-impressive, they'll take a little bit of confidence out of that because they'd lost their previous three. Tip: Manly

-6.5 pts on FootyTab. We weren't up for last Sunday and I can't see a reason for putting dosh on us until I see a change. I won't back the Queens but I won't risk anything either at those odds.
Make up your mind, are you a Manly backer or not?

Well, yes I normally am. On the games I was expecting us to win this year I have dropped a lot and I can only say my confidence is shaky. Points start has been my downfall. Hopefully they'll come good on the Premiership bet.
I have two bets a year only
1) $50 on Manly to win the premiership at whatever the opening odds are pre season.
2) $10 each way on whatever horse I fancy come Melbourne Cup day
I cleaned up last year when I got $26 to $1 on Manly...this years odds were a lot shorter about $6.
BUT a $1300 win last year gives me a few year of $70 bets and I am still in front.
PS: Punting is a mugs game, thought you knew better MB!!

DRAGONS V SEA EAGLES
Kieran Foran (ankle) completed yesterday's training duties and is expected to play. Anthony Watmough (shoulder) has been cleared to play, while David Williams is rated zero chance to return. The Dragons will also be as named on Tuesday.
COWBOYS V TITANS
Cowboys coach Neil Henry rarely names a player as 18th man two weeks in a row, but a decision has not been made on their bench. Both sides have three players lining up for their third game in 10 days. Brenton Lawrence is expected to miss for the Titans.
RAIDERS V TIGERS
Both sides are expected to be 1-17. Liam Fulton has done enough at training this week to prove his fitness. The Tigers will travel to Canberra today.
BULLDOGS V RABBITOHS
Greg Eastwood (hamstring) has been ruled out. David Stagg is expected to start at lock. Eastwood's replacement has not been named with Dale Finucane, Joel Romelo and Martin Taupau all possible replacements on the bench. There are also rumours Trent Hodkinson could play in the NSW Cup this weekend, but the club strongly deny this. The Rabbitohs will be 1-17.
WARRIORS V STORM
Kevin Locke has trained strongly this week, but club officials maintain their side will be unchanged, forcing Locke to play in the NSW Cup. Michael Greenfield (neck) has been ruled out with Craig Bellamy yet to announce his replacement.
BRONCOS V KNIGHTS
Both clubs are expected to be 1-17. The Broncos' Origin representatives have not had a light training week.
EELS V SHARKS
Reni Maitua will play for the Eels. Matt Ryan is also expected to play despite having trouble breathing earlier this week. The Sharks are expected to be 1-17 with a decision on their extended bench not expected to be made before Monday.

We brought back Geoff Toovey!
Game day and I'm pumped.
I'd like to think we wouldn't lose to the Dragons twice in one season so I'm backing us to win. They'll make us work for it though but in saying that their win against us in round 4 ranks in their top 3 performances this season - I don't think they'll match that performance.
