[Valheru]

Titans are close to a win but Manly is a step up from their opposition the last 2 weeks so have to go Manly

 

[Vic Mackey]

titans last night reminded me a lot of us last year. when youre down you find ways to lose, eventually though you get a game where you win just cause you have too.

manly have shown they can get up for the good teams and come down to the level of the bad ones. have a feeling the same may happen here

GC to break their duck

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

The Tits milked their last nipple against Canberra. They came into that game fully revved up and into it desperate for a win.....and still lost. The heads have dropped, the Fifitas are on the strip at 1am snorting a line and Manly will sense blood in the water.

 

[JamesRustle]

Brooks to keep Titans close for 60 mins before Drinkwater buries the seaplods.

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

titans probably get washed here

 

[Fangs]

Both coming off golden point games, Manly had to travel to NZ and Titans did the road trip to Canberra.

Manly have named a stronger team than last week. Lodge is a massive inclusion. They really shouldn't lose this one.

However the Titans can't keep losing either. They have Warriors and Melbourne next which are near certain losses. They are going to be really desperate and that is all they really have going for them right now. Against all other evidence I'll just back them.

 

[This Year?]

This has the potential to be rugby league's newest rivalry.
Got a feeling something dramatic will happen in this game.

 

[gerg]

Why did I think that Lodge's career in the NRL was over? He was awful in his last stint at the Roosters.

 

[Someone2]

Manly by 4

 

[eagles4eva]

Why did I think that Lodge's career in the NRL was over? He was awful in his last stint at the Roosters.

He was solid for us last year before doing his knee...

 

[Fangs]

He was solid for us last year before doing his knee...

Big in with Brown and Paseka. Along with Aloiai and Sipley to come back. Woods for depth. Manly have a good middle rotation this year.

 

[Grapple]

Titans played well in defending last week. Titans will be better this week but Manly can score points. Safe bet is Manly but I think Titans will want it more.

 

[GongPanther]

Was going for a 2 point upset here, but with Campbell out, Manly by 32-12.

 

[Panther Pete]

I think Des was having a stroke when he was doing the pre game interview.

 

[Leber]

Both teams will play like the warriors did last night. Full of plod from playing GP.

The last 20min will prob be full of chaos.

 

[t-ba]

Manly probably gonna eat shit tonight.

 

[Bazal]

The last 20min will prob be full of chaos.

 

[KOMORI]

Manly probably gonna eat shit tonight.

Yeah we are definitely due a Barry Crocker…. Hopefully we can keep them under 30…

I’m working so watching this game vicariously through you guys… make it a game day thread bigger than Nate Miles’ head!!

 

[Grapple]

Foran to play a masterclass, Titans win by 4 points and yet Gold Coast go on to lose the next 42 matches, as DCE quietly smiles as his neck stretches even further than humanly possible.
