Dragons by 18....Manly to get a reality check.

I think somewhere between 12 and 18 for the Dragons is about correct. But would hardly say it is a reality check. If we were to go down by a similar margin at full strength I would agree.

Excited and nervous about this game. Without the missing players from both teams this would be a huge game, biggest of the year. Even still, I think it will be entertaining today.

 

[gong_eagle]

leavin home now to get there to see the 20s which should also be a cracker of a game

 

[Rodent]

It's hard to know who would win out of Saints and Manly if both were at full strength given the table topping dragons are improving every week and are yet to field a full strength side this season.

Good point,

we still havnt had our best 17 on the park this season, add the fact they are all coming back over the nxt cpl of weeks, and we have a bye nxt week, this is a massive game for us and if we get up it could see us gain massive momentum leading into the finals!!!

 

[Garts]

Manly sound like they are playing pretty ordinary, lucky to only be down by 12 at half time from what I can gather.

 

[Disco]

We look good in attack, its just we cant defend for sh*t

 

[Garts]

So many young inexperienced players I guess. Hopefully we can keep the margin to only 12.

 

[Lungfish]

Very ,very SOFT!:x

 

[Dutchy]

Result expected.. even at full strength. This has been pencilled in by me as a loss for weeks. 7 players from the 08 GF.

Oh and BTW. We have never won a game with Neumann in the 17. Bad luck charm..

 

[wittyfan]

The Dragons juggernaut motors on.

No effie around here for a few days now.

 

[pantherz9103]

The margin sees Manly go out of the 8 on for and against

 

[Garts]

I expected the loss but not by that much. Tackling is not that difficult FFS.

 

[wittyfan]

I wonder if Dessie will whinge more about having to lose players to Origin afterwards.

 

[The BigFella]

I know they had players missing, but that was not good enough - no pride in the jumper, no care about for and against. They should be disapointed and hang thier heads in shame, but instead they wont care.

bit harsh i think ... if the dragons didnt win that by a cricket score there was something wrong . The dragons were at near full strength there ,only missing Poore and creagh i think Manly were missing most of their run on side , at win stadium backing up from a short turnaround and tough game monday against the dogs .
