Match Discussion: Round 18 vs Manly @ 4 Pines Park, Brookvale

[Yosh]

The Glass Man. Hopefully he gets over his injuries and get some consistent football under his belt.

 

[Jono078]

Where would he rank amongst our most injury prone players of all-time? Surely up there already and only 20.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

This feels like crunch time to me.
No hope of the top 8 but I reckon if we don't step right up and show we want to play footy the rest of the season will be a yawn.

 

[Old dog]

A win would be a huge bonus but real effort would be more than acceptable which in turn will increase the chance of a win

Jesus weeps at that bench

 

[Knight Tales]

I’ll be happy if KP just plays something close to the style of play we saw Weds night every week till season’s end. Cos if he does he might inspire his troops. He actually resembled a leader out there.

 

[slotmachine]

We're no chance without the critical ball playing lock.

 

[mozza91]

Probably the strongest side we’ve fielded this season. Looking forward to Obi’s post game excuses.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Never ever been happy before to see Fitz get a start, but here we are.

We could win by 200 and AOB will start Mann at 13 next week regardless.

 

[Knight Tales]

Manly’s second half can be hit and miss so there is our hope.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Even though the warriors didn't win they showed how effective short passes are.
I reckon we tried to lop passes too wide when Brailey came on last game. Gave them too much time to get up in defence.
Hoping we can mix it up.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Team unchanged.
Randall 18.

 

[Jono078]

I get a feeling this’ll be a cracking game. Hope I’m not disappointed.

 

[PhilGould]

Hopefully Jacob's game on Wednesday kicks him and his brother into gear. Little hope of finals but an in-form Saifiti (preferably 2) + Brailey would make us more a more enjoyable team to watch.

I really really am expecting our props to run over Manly tonight. Hopefully Jacob and Daniel are sharing the KOTW points in 2 hours time.

 

[Loose Cannon]

O’Brien’s pre game interviews are as insipid as his post game.

 

[Jono078]

What the f**k is going on with Manly's jersey? Why would they add blue to it against us, let alone at all?

 

[Jono078]

I have no idea how Gagai didn't get 6-again there...

Looks like a second-grader’s attempt at art.
