After 3 Rounds NYC....

[Deetroy72]

I know its early but sweetas....

After 3 rounds of NYC so far I've managed to see in person or view via foxtel -

Bulldogs, St George, Titans, Warriors, Bronco's, Panthers, Raiders, Parramatta, Roosters, Manly, Rabbits and Knights

Havent been fortunate to see Sharks, Cowboys, Storm or Wests

Of course its early days but last nite I saw an impressive Manly outfit dominate Penrith in the forwards and the halves ran riot - similar to the week before where Manly smashed the Warriors.

IMO - This team will be in the finals this year and will run last years top 4 very close - best halves combo in the NYC so far and big forward pack.

Look forward to other NYC supporters input.....

i was tipped off pre-season that this manly side would do well by a very good judge. he seems right so far.
i have said that brisbane would struggle because of the eligible players they insist on playing in the q cup

titans will have a very good side once the sg ball commitments are over and another one or two come up.

cowboys could be a big improver, watch for them this week v a weakened canberra

melbourne are doing well last weeks loss was really unlucky but they should do well all year

We started poor, but haven't done so bad in the last two (thank f*ck)

You said we were weak at the start of the season too, lol.

Very impressed by the Titans.
Maybe one or two good forwards short, but very good in the backs.

The Knights are better this year, but 5 injured props means they have had 2 props in their 17 since round 1, so they aren't showing it yet.

The Knights won't be playing to their potential till they get 4 fit props into the squad, and at the moment they have one 116kg impact guy fit, and one other playing with injuries.
If Manly have a good pack, they should win easily.

yeah, lol, silly me!
didn't think they could cover for the losses of fensom and matt smith, among others. i didn't count on the great raiders nursery. i hadn't heard of sam williams and matt nicholls, among others. i know about them now.
so you think losing dugan and maybe waddell to the nrl side won't affect the result v cowboys?

You're right Manly did win easily in the end - and it was there forwards that dominated the game and allowed the backs to run in tries especially the second half, it was a tough battle especially 1st half and some giants amongst both teams - Cherry Evans kicking for goals needs improvement

Knights will be competitive though

Looking forward to Manly Vs Wests NYC Easter weekend
