Next 5 games (6-10)

[Cheese sandwich]

I think they'll bomb the shyte out of Coates. Nice high ones with intent to chase hard and cut his returns down. I doubt they give Pap Smear room. They might assault Meaney if he plays. Ronnie vs Meaney - I like that

Like what i think it was Penrith did to Jason Saab. Completely shut him out of the game

I'm on the wagon with Robo, 10 in a row or we storm the field flares in hands!!!!

yeah , just wear a lefty welding glove so you dont burn your hand.

We simply have to attack down Coates side of the field - he comes out of the defensive line like a headless chicken - always looking for the intercept. That will create plenty of space in and around whoever is playing centre for them (Smith usually), and is also prime for a little kick in behind. Then bomb the life out of Coates on the last tackle - I reckon he’s quite mentally fragile, if we get some wins against him early, I can only see his defence being even more erratic. We just need to make sure he doesn’t pick off an intercept, because if he does, he’s gonski, ain’t getting caught.

We wouldn’t let a winger get an intercept, would we?!?

1-1

As we expected I would suggest, 2 out of next 3 to round out the 10 games are at home.

Brisbane 7 days away up there. Shame they beat the dogs this week and they get confidence.

4-1 still my expectation.

 

[Weaponhead]

1-1 is a good outcome. High intensity game against a top 2 team away into a 5 day turnaround against a team who has 4 wins in a row is a tough assignment. The Sharks showed strong resolve to blow Manly away and then hang on.

Donks away
Warriors home
Raiders in Brisbane

All very winnable. Will be good to get some troops back as the grind of the season is kicking in. 2 of those 3 keeps the Sharks in the top 4.

Donks are scatty team. They have talent but if our attack fires points will flow. Warriors are going ok but we should beat them. Raiders bring their offloading game which we have struggled to handle. If its a dry track our attack will be tough for them to handle.

I will be at magic round, hoping to see us flog Canberra. We have a terrible recent record against them

 

[Ozzi_78]

Shit I forgot about bullshit magic round. Another home game stolen from us.

 

[roboshark]

We have a shocking record at Suncorp vs Broncos I think. I suppose we did against manly too I guess

We beat the Donks there last year in a really open game. Trindall played well from memory.

Trindall Is shithouse! He showed how shit he is last night

You have a firm opinion on him as a player. I agree that his form this season has not been good enough. He has not adjusted to the 10 minute cameo role.

Go back and look at the round 23 Tigers, and round 24, Broncos games last season and you might see that he actually does have some ability.

Also go back and look at his defensive input last night. The last round of interchanges from 51 minutes, Hunt. McInnes, Rudy and Trindall is what arrested the momentum for Manly. They only scored once after these blokes came back on and energised the team

He won't be dropped as everyone is calling for

I swear every magic round is a home game for us. They need to swap which teams lose a home game to it each year

I’m pretty sure manly played brisbane at magic round as a manly home game.

I know for a fact that the first year it was on that we were the away team.
What's this the third year? So last year and this year.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Best case 3-2 and f**k magic round, we should be back at home for the next 2 so we can get our season back on track.

 

[roboshark]

Next week's performance and effort will be quite telling

 

[Cheese sandwich]

Wighton likely to be suspended when we play Canberra and David Fifita injured when we play titans makes things a bit easier

Doesn't matter if those players play or not both those teams are woeful
