SeaEagles v Dragons MnF @WIN Jubilee Rd8 Game day thread #GoManly

[Brissie Kid]

Nope. The NRL referees don't generally enforce it & I have no idea why but you don't actually have to have contact for an obstruction to occur.

Im worried. We are usually flat after a big game. Especially considering both teams would be battered and bruised. Dragons will be pumped up at home to have a big game in front of their home fans, their good history against us will weigh into consideration.

As much as I hate to say I think it will be dragons 1-12 but I hope im wrong!

The 10 day rest will help us.

teams up

There is no way we can go in to this with that light weight bench. Saints forwards will monster us. Tonga to center, Rose and Tommy to bench.

Tommy needs to be in the forwards, bet he won't start there despite being named.......ducks and drakes

 

[The Eagle Has Landed]

C'mon where's the faith? Our team ain't that bad we are only missing Skivi, Fa'aoso and King. Manly 1-12

 

[Pittwater Legend]

I think our defence will return to form. 22-7 to us.

 

[Brissie Kid]

It's Kogarah Oval. NEVER had a good day out down there in that hole. Rarely got out of there with a win.

[MWSE]

Worried.

 

[Chip and Chase]

I hate playing the merge. Always makes me nervous. Our record against them is diabolical considering how strong we have been over the last 5 years. They always catch us at the wrong end of suspensions and injuries.

 

[Jethro]

Video Referees: Jared Maxwell and Matt Rodwell

That says it all. After last weeks game against the Rabbits with both of them sitting in the V-idiot Box, don't expect any favours from them.

With the players that we have out and up against a team that we haven't had that much success with over recent years at Kogarah, I hope that I'm wrong but this week, I think that we are gone :-/

 

[manlyfan76]

We will win this one. Rose off the bench for Fa'aosa symonds to centre for Matai and Jesse to the bench to play 15 mins. This will be a completely different game to the souffs one as their attack is very different but I'm confident we will win.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Weyman coming back, hopefully he's a bit underdone.
At times over the last few years in games against lesser lights we've tended to lower our standard to the oppositions.
I want a big win - and, if we get one, Toovey's standing as a coach should be greatly enhanced.

 

[Fairy Bower]

Saw Weyman play for Illawarra Cutters V Wyong on TV. Dropped the ball twice and was very rusty. First game for nearly a year. Big step up in class next Monday for him

 

[Terry-Randal]

We never play good down there cant remember too many wins on their turf.

 

[Shoe1]

Souths didn't have many brookie wins either.

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

should be a good crowd as well with under 14s allowed in free

 

[DSM5]

Im with JEthro on the biggest problem we will encounter at Oki is HOrsehead in the video box. I smell a conspiracy in that we have had this anti-Manly prick for three games so far.

 

[Rambo1987]

Saints to pay for our loss last week to the Bunnies, big time = 13+
