[Miller was a legend]

Canberra play like busted Skeepes again and Manly will destroy them.

Manly by 28 points

 

[Valheru]

Interesting game. Canberra have been sleep walking the last month and finally got beaten. It will be interesting to see how they react to a loss.

Manly in desperation mode.

Raiders by 2

 

[Patorick]

Please be gentle.

 

[BadnMean]

Historically DCE has either kicked us off the park or orchestrated some combination of Saab, Garrick and Trbo to tear us to shreds.

This will be a good barometer of whether DCE and Trbo still have anything left in the tank- because if they have anything at all Manly generally get over us.

Raiders need to turn up with the Rounds 1-13 attitude back. Unfortunately that required the Hot Tamale and Nicholson (who freed Hosking to lock). 50/50 on this one, rather than confident.

 

[mongoose]

Weekes had a shocker against his old club earlier in the season, expecting him to have a big game.

 

[Fangs]

Manly are still somehow alive in 2025 after an appalling fortnight of football.

Canberra got their pants pulled down last week. They'll bounce back here. Raiders by 20.

 

[JamesRustle]

Surprised Tapine is playing... I thought he had a broken hand at the end of last weeks game. Miraculous recovery.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Please be gentle.

No, f**k that noise.

80 us so Seibold gets arsed, and then sacked.

 

[eagles4eva]

Wow our pack is crud, Raiders 40+. More and more pressure on shyte-Bald...
