[I Bleed Maroon]

On form you would think Manly will bounce back but the Sombreros have way too much experience to fall on their ass two weeks in a row. Hardest game of the round to tip. Going the Rorters barely.

 

[The_Frog]

Manly gave the Roosters a nasty touch up in week 2 of the finals last year and will bring an almost identical side this time. The Roosters have Keary and Manu back, and Connor Watson, but it doesn't seem like enough. I don't think they'll be able to stop Turbo carving them up.

Also SST and Collins.

Walker didn't start either

Morris, keighran, iku, lam, Hutchison, marschke and liu all started in that game.

Manly will probably win but don't think that finals game will be any indicator of how it will go.

 

[ouwet]

Clash of the spoon contenders here judging by round 1 performances!

Manly by a 4 in a bludger of a game, Trent Robinson should be nervous the pressure is building.

Like he carved up the Panthers?

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Cripple fight

[GongPanther]

A sound defense at home should get the big win for Easts here by 8.

 

[Captain Apollo]

From 2018 thru to and including 2020, the Roosters lost their first match in those seasons (they won in 2021). Only in 2020 did they lose its Round 2 game also.

Roosters by 4

 

[Eelectrica]

Don't you just hate these 15 Vs 16 cripple fights?

 

[Someone2]

Manly by 4

 

[2 weeks]

Roosters to kick a field goal to go 1-0 up , then Sam Walker to run backwards for 79 minutes to ensure the win

I'll take it

 

[This Year?]

Roosters and Manly have had some of the most epic tense, low scoring games.
This won't be one of them. I reckon the Roosters come out firing like Shazza from Housos when she finds out Dazza has smoked the whole stash.

 

[The_Frog]

From 2018 thru to and including 2020, the Roosters lost their first match in those seasons (they won in 2021). Only in 2020 did they lose its Round 2 game also.

That's the year they tried to get the first two rounds wiped.

 

[Chippy73]

Like he carved up the Panthers?

Yes Manly should try and offload him for anything they can get... he's clearly on his way out.

Trade the useless piece of shit to the Broncos for isako
