[t-ba]

Hope saints win to put this shithole of a season to a mathematical end.

 

[Warrimoo3]

This is an interesting one. Playing the Dragons away lives rent free in Manly’s head. Their dismal record at Kogarah and Wollongong is testament to this. Would normally be circled as a guaranteed win to the Dragons.

But the Dragons’ attack has been diabolical in the past two matches. Have been kept scoreless for three consecutive halves . Worse than that they haven’t looked like scoring in that time apart from a Sloan break who was only on the field as an 18th man via concussion protocol. There’s a message somewhere there for coach Flanagan.

Meanwhile Manly were free wheeling playing ad hoc football against a Dolphins team that hadn’t got off the bus. Neither team were interested in the grind. Having said that , the Dragons didn’t get off the bus last week either although I don’t want to sell Souths short as they were outstanding.

Will wait to see the teams selected ie whether Sloan is in the 17 before I make a prediction. Will probably be more of a guess rather than a prediction though. May depend on how much tactical periodisation Manly can squeeze into their preparation to overcome peakless mountains.

We always lose to this mob so should be right.

A lot of dribble to make no prediction.

Save it for Tuesday night Nostradamus.

[This Year?]

I wish I could be as confident of a Dragons win as the Manly fans are.

 

[Valheru]

Dragons were atrocious last week so expect a bounce back from them. Manly used all available motivation for DCE 350th

Dragons by 10.

 

[JamesRustle]

I can't see Manly playing as bad as last time, but Dragons should lift with a few hard heads back this week, plus Jack DeBelin's final game at Kogarah Jubilee. Dragons 26-18.

Sloan in the run on team. Hooray. Forward reinforcements back for the Dragons. Tick.

Souths destroyed the Dragons’ edges last week. Manly’s left attack lit it up last week albeit with little resistance. If this match was at Brookvale I’d tip Manly by as much as they want with doubles to Turbo,Koula and Hoppa. And a meat pie for Saab from a grubber by DCE behind the Money Man.

But it’s played at Kogarah in a graveyard timeslot. A hoodoo is a hoodoo. The Dragons to muscle up. Manly to be forced into errors trying to play the freestyle game of last week. Just for a bit of value Corey Waddell for first or anytime tryscorer off a Brooks or DCE grubber to the in goal.

Dragons by 8

 

[Dragon Slayer]

The Dargons to upset the Greg Hartley’s.

 

[Someone2]

Manly by 12

 

[Rudy]

Drag Queens by 16.

If Manly don't get rid of Seibold at the end of the season, I don't ....[end of transmission]

 

[This Year?]

DCE's last huzzah in maroon and white and JDB's last go in red n white at Jubilee.
Should be a fun game for the neutrals.

 

[This Year?]

We're going to have a go through your front door, then your back door Seibs and by the time we're finished the phone will be fully charged.

 

[Fangs]

Alright Manly. Your differential is 4. Roosters are on 102.

We need you boys to score a few points today. All out attack. Make Seibs proud. He will buy all of you a Reschs if you get this done.

 

[This Year?]

Of course you are Cooper you flog.

 

[blaza88z]

I don't give a f**k who wins, just need Turbo to play a solid 80 and accrue a few supercoach points in the process

 

[Generalzod]

Cooper Crank has got no idea lol

 

[JamesRustle]

I f**ken hate Staggs... solely due to this repeated nableshitdribble
