[I Bleed Maroon]

I doubt the Rorters will be as average as they were against the Pennies second week running. They might be going through a hangover after the B2B but too early to say. Regardless Manly will give them a run for it.

 

[Valheru]

I find the tickets link in the OP a bit redundant

Match relocated to Leichhardt Oval.

Memories of Easts winning the "whatever-Cup" at this ground twice (I think).

Anyway, I saw glimpses f a good Manly sid last week.

"Twilight Zone Round" score Manly 22 Easts 12.

 

[This Year?]

This should be a grinding, tense and epic contest. I think the Roosters class will get them home and Manly will hold a very good account of themselves. Easily the game of the round.

Manly couldn't go 80 with the Storm. Easts couldn't go 80 with the Pamfas. It's the battle of the faders. Roosters were dangerous before they ran out of juice though and I predict they'll have Manly parcelled up by halftime, before cruising to the line.

If I were coach Robinson, I'd get the hottest chilli in Sydney and insert it rectally into J Manu after he was run down easily by Yeo the other day. It was reminiscent of Todd Byrne circa 2003.

Yeah like we did when we lost in Round 1 in 2013, 2018 and 2019. Really dented our premiership chances in those years eh?

If I was coach Robinson I really wouldn’t stress too much about my teams chances after a scrappy round 1 loss coming off the back of b2b premierships

Yeh, we were clearly underdone. Hoping we have more match fitness this time ‘round.

Roosters had them shot, why take the two?

Turbo with a latrell moment

Without Latrell at left centre the Roosters look vulnerable in both attack and defense

 

[Bazal]

I feel like this match thread will be carried by the neutrals...

 

[skeepe]

At least the COVID-19 crisis hasn’t affected Roosters crowd numbers.
