Knights should have too much zip and flair for a struggling and stodgy Manly outfit. And Mullen to stamp his class all over Orford.

Knights by 8.

Manly looked a shade of the team from last year, but with our injury woes they have a forward pack with much more experience. Our left fringe is real vulnerable too. That's where the game will be won. I think we are in with quite a chance but despite the undeniable class that they lost in Monnas, Manly still have a lot of talent, and will want to make amends. Hopefully Cross makes a surprise return and smashes their pack to pieces, if he doesn't, hopefully Wicks and Fa'aoso do.

It'll be interesting to see just how crap these Manly away jerseys look this weekend :crazy:
Keeney just an FYI if your banner is still showing the 2007 Knights logo, you can refresh (Ctrl+F5) it and it should show with the new logo, I've updated it ;-)

Our backrow experience is a little bit of a worry, but im confident they can do the job.

Knights by 10.

 

[cupid]

I wonder if Manly decide to make any changes in the halves?

 

[gong_eagle]

I reckon no changes, Des will stick with the same team

Ben Cummins has reffed Manly 3 times with Manly winning all 3
and he has Reffed Newcastle 5 times with the Knights losing all 5

 

[gong_eagle]

beat me to it

 

[effnic]

Manly wont lose this game. I am prepared to make a bet on that aswell. If manly lose i will even take wittyfan to dinner and give him his long time dreams of being in my presence.

 

[Garts]

I have tipped Manly in one comp and the Knights in another, I just can not decide. Everyone is saying how bad we were last weekend so that is weighing on my mind a little, I am yet to see the game.

 

[MSIH]

Defence was solid. Should get up.
