Winner faces Melbourne in a prelim - the loser is eliminated

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Easy win. Roosters are cooked.

 

[Apey]

I think Manly get this. Roosters only looked competent against the Panthers when the Panthers were tired of f**kin em.

 

[eagles4eva]

Hopefully TT can recover and get up for the game

 

[This Year?]

The battle of the birds will be fantastic viewing. I hope it's a nice dry track so both sides can throw it around. Enjoy the wild ride @Mr. Shaman and the other great Manly fans on here.

 

[Woody90]

Gonna go Roosters. I don’t think Manly can win 2 in a row at the moment.

Both would be comprehensively beaten the following week though so it doesn’t really matter.

Manly by two JWH bumper bars

is he back?

Thought Manly got very lucky yesterday, more so Dogs threw it away as opposed to them winning. Still they have plenty of match winners and likley get Saab back. Robbo got his starting pack and rotations terribly wrong against Penrith, Butcher starting and Watson 80mins at 9 was horrible, will he learn from that?

Im going Easts on trust, I feel theyre more consistent in these games then Manly will be, funnily enough though I think Manly are a bigger chance of upsetting the Storm next week as they do have that real big performance in them.

[Fangs]

Interesting game.

JWH back and potentially Radley? There will be fireworks. Roosters also get a couple extra days on the turn around.

I'm actually unsure who to pick. Will go Manly on the back of their kicking but the Roosters could win by ticking over the scoreboard. Manly are vulnerable on the edge.

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

manly were impressive, they will get up here

 

[Chins get the wins]

2 very average sides without any higher gears to shift into @Valheru

Easts by 12

 

[Panther Mike]

Definitely winnable for Manly with their superior halves but could flip a coin for this one. I doubt either can worry the Storm much in Melbourne the following week.

[Dragon Slayer]

The last 5 games against each other suggest this will be close and could go either way.

But I think the Roosters will prevail.

Had the same feeling myself

 

[Ron's_Mate]

Brooksy's finals experience to get the Eagles home here. 100% win record at this level.

Roosters 2024:

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Hard to pick. Both teams are pretty busted and I really don't care who wins.

JWH to get binned or sent early and wobbo to defend him for the lols

 

[typicalfan]

Tough one to pick. Will come down to Turbos fitness because if he is good to play I rate the Manly spine better than the Roosters. If Turbo pulls up too sore though I think Roosters.
