Manly are specials.

Can't see the Cowboys winning.

 

[Grapple]

Manly only a week ago were favourites to win the comp. You'd think half their squad was suspended with the way people are carrying on. (and if you watched the game against Canterbury you'd be right to think that was the case!) ;-)

Wish they were suspended...

Cowboys remind me of the 2003 Panthers. They don't worry too much about defence cause they know they will just score more tries than the oppositon.

"Hands Kia Ora some piano wire...."

 

[ceagle]

Matai has taken the early guilty plea, I'm assuming that means Lyon should be fit in time for Friday.

 

[Timmah]

Hayne & Cummins to ref

Raw nerve hit...some serious people in here.

I want Manly to win this but I think Cowboys have it in the bag, the only way I can see Manly having a shot of winning this game is if they have all hands on deck.

 

[Garts]

Lyon has to play for us to have any chance. Going from Matai taking the early plea I assume Lyon will play but I bet he will be struggling. We are not without hope but Tate and Linnet have been in great form, if we have a make shift centre pairing or Lyon on 1 leg we will be beaten.

 

[Generational Player]

Wonder if Glenn Hall is planning on bettering the tremendous dive he performed the last time these teams met.

If Manly are to stand a chance they need monster efforts from the back rowers and halves. And the replacement centre/s need to make all their tackles.

If I had to bet i'd probably pick the Cowboys, but if Manly can get in front early they may be able to shut them down.

 

[ElectricEelMan]

I am still not sure why the Cowboys are favourites to win this game.

Sure, Manly might be down two centres and sure the Cowboys are in good form ... BUT this was essentially the same Manly team that went up to Townsville and beat the Cowboys a few weeks ago. This time around the game is in Sydney, where the Cowboys have a hard time winning.

Am I missing something?

If you think the Cowboys will win in Sydney, can you explain why?

I do hope the Cowboys win though ....

We can't. The Cowboys cannot win in nsw, even all of those times recently where we have, we haven't. Doesnt anyone in here listen to Brandy Alexander?

THE COWBOYS CANNOT WIN IN NSW.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

We never beat top teams in Townsville either, the heat and humidity does.

They can win in Sydney but you cant deny their poor record here, they have only won 4 from their past 20 or so games
