2019 R1 Sat - Wests Tigers 20-6 Sea Eagles @ Leichhardt

[This Year?]

Finally something for Manly fans to cheer about.

The only possible scenario that helps out Manly is if Des rebuilds the team with the old 'Foran/DCE combo' and for bonus points throw Hoppa on the wing again.

We'll see you in the Cripple fight pits!

I cheer every time our players don't lose FIFA to their partners tbh.

If only they could punt that loser now... spend his 600 thousand on a decent back

Well done TIgers... Great second half.. very worthy winners...

Anybody got a spare time machine, wanna piss 2019 off

Going to be a long season for Moanly - and I do not mean because they will have to play all those pesky finals games.

Well done Tigers...good things ahead. A 3-0 start to the season is a realistic goal in which your side have no trouble doing.

I'm going to rewatch this game on 50% extra fast with the Benny Hill music. So many errors in the first half, it became amusing.

Ugly win and doubt that would have beaten too many other sides but it’s round 1 so I’ll take it.

Will need to be a hell of a lot better next week or the warriors will give us a real reeming

Even allowing for the conditions,Wests Tiges were more convincing than the Warriors. At home and a dry track, you'll be fine.

He’s not Chris Lawrence, but he’s as close to a clone of him as you’ll get

Would he be related to ex-Manly and Balmain player Russell Gardner?

It was Russell Gartner and this bloke is Luke Ganner

So no relation...but have fond memories of frog eyes..he was good for the tigers at the back end of his career

As below no he isn’t, I believe he’s actually a QLDer who was brought down to Sydney by Manly

Did not get to the game but after catching the extended highlights I thought Manly had a real chance to be up at least 8 nil and on a wet night that would have been hard to reel in. As it turned out the Tigers kicking game won them the day and the kicking game was made possible by the forwards getting plenty of yards.
Neither side will be there on GF day, but the tigers might get close to finals football. Next week against the Warriors should gives us a better idea

I think he ended up on the wing in a Balmain GF.

I think this round will be one to shake off for all sides after the sloppy handling. It'll be the same at Penrith this arvo with very heavy falls expected, so expect the wet weather hi jinx to continue.
