Important game this week, we need to keep in touch with the roosters nad panthers, so we need to win it. Few players missing, Terry Martin with a calf problem, and Ben Cross who got a week suspension from that roosters game. Troy Thompson comes back from injury, and Tongue from suspension. Both have been named on a 5 man bench.

Anyway, I think the raiders should win comfortably, if they don't go in too cocky.

Yes, we won with 12 men after Woolford was sent off in the seventh minute so we gave Manly a hiding with only 12 men. That has to be character building for the boys. I'm guessing with Macca at half and Drew at hooker things went quite well out there today. Still in second spot and closing fast on the Roosters.

Woolford will get a couple of weeks for the tackle but when compared to similar incidents like last night (Fletcher), there is no way he deserved to get sent off.


A big test will be how many weeks Woolford gets. I'm hoping we can have him back for the Bulldogs match which will be our first real test coming into the finals. Also crucial is the amount of players who are ruled out due to injuries from this match.

I think he got sent off because Fletcher wasn't and there was an outcry that he should have been.

To me it was a knee jerk reactionf rom Simpkins. The manly fans started chanting "off off off" so Simpkins obliged. The tackle was no worse than any tackle I have seen put on report this year.

Simpkins really played the crowd i think. Don't forget Joel Monaghan and Jason Bulgarelli, scoring 4 and 2 trys respectively.

We are a bloody tough football side.

I think the emergence of Bulgarelli shouldnt be underastated. As good as Robbo and Graham have played at times, we look alot better with a powerful 3/4 line like the one we have got at the moment. Our 3/4s must be the most versatile in the comp, they are like extra forwards but still carve it in attack.

I felt that he fell into the tackle, but what injured Williamson was the landing...

Star players? Monas with his 4 trys, Statue with his go forward. It was really a team performance, apart from those 2 blokes ripping it up.

A main drunk there started threatning Germ and his family :lol: You should've seen Germ just stand there staring him right in the face. No doubt I would've helped out Germ if there was abit of biff after the game :lol:

I never noticed the drunk, but I did get abused by a drunk as I left the fence, something about people needed to be hung, can't remember the particulars.

I was singing this to myself as Rutgo was walking around the end of the field and then I heard someone else singing it which i guess was you.

Pinky swear and all that crap...
