Manly Versus Newcastle

[Disco]

Bk will be fine, he was right to play on saturday, but dessie decided that there was no point in risking him

 

[antonius]

Listening to the Radio yesterday arvo I heard the Knights twice mentioned as contenders. One was by Paul Langmack and the other by a Penrith player (can't remember his name) who is off to the Gold Coast.

I was more refering to the high profile commentators.

 

[antonius]

I hope Hagan rembers who played 5/8th last time we beat Manly at Brookvale, and how well he played.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Good luck with that one Tony!!!! The expression "you are only as good as your last game" translated into "Hagan-I,ve got no idea what to do-speak" is "you are only as good as I think you are". I think Hagans best friends Kidley and Thiaday are certain starters on Friday night with Mullo cooling his heals on the bench. I think we will also see Tanner and Lowrie keeping Jarrod company there too.:crazy:

I think we can take them.
Newcastle 19 - 12 Manly

Yep I think you are on the money there.

You're not playing them, we are.

Think of it as us lending you guys a hand after the fall from grace you suffered after the '97 Grand Final. What happened? Oh, that's right- between '98 and '04 you only managed to scrape into a single finals series when you finished '98 in 10th place. Can't believe it took you 7 years to get over a single loss:lol:

All I remember about 97 was that some dirty player stomped on poor old Toovs head, and it was found out after the game that a number of Knights were on the roids...

Na your memory is very clouded. Doogs tripped over Tooveys head, (Toovey was lying on the ground exhausted after all the whinging he'd been doing to the ref) and the Knights were all tested after the game and were clean. The drug test you're refering to was on Wayne Richards some time later when he used them to hurry the recovery of a knee injury.

You guys are broken records!

:blahb: :blahb: Geez, some people still can't handle the fact they lost the grand final, some almost ten years later!

Nothing worse than a bandwagoner...

When Toovs spends 80 minutes on the field because your halves aren't good enough to direct play themselves, tell him to watch out for our wingers ;-)

I just heard that Shayne Dunley can escape suspension with an early guilty plea

 

[Ben]

Are you serious? That looked like a very bad tackle and i've seen similar ones this year get two weeks.

 

[Frederick]

Yuh, was charged with Grade 1

Manly boosted by Dunley's availability

Monday, September 4, 2006 - 12:56 PM

Manly received a welcome break with hooker Shane Dunley likely to play in Friday's first NRL qualifying final against Newcastle despite being charged with a dangerous throw.

Dunley can avoid a ban with an early guilty plea to the grade one charge arising from the loss to Melbourne on Saturday night.

Dunley was the only player charged from the final round of the regular season as speculation that Parramatta hooker Mark Riddell could face a striking charge amounted to nought.

It was the only way that he would shut up

 

[Bicey_18]

meh dunley is a grub who is guarenteed to give us several penalties, not too concerned bout him tbh

 

[Jobdog]

:lol: :lol: Ryan, any respect I had for you has just evaporated over the last 12 hours.

Manly have played some tough close footy in the past month.

Can either be an advantage in that we can handle the pressure that comes with these games or burnout because of the extra energy needed.
