Opinions on Manly making the eight.

[Danny-Boy]

Typical manly will lose the game they are expected to win. You can take that to the bank.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

 

[t-ba]

Yeah, saw that coming.

I was hoping to enjoy a finals run before Penn FC launched for reals.

Great call

 

[Usain Bolt]

Biggest upset of the year

 

[ElectricEelMan]

Sort of justice for last weeks non call
Would have been horrible to see another team knocked out because of Cecchins incompetence.

Life support from here. Almost safe to say goodbye but the arsey merkins are still in with a shot.

 

[user_nat]

Hard to see it happening, but still very possible. I could see the Dragons dropping a game (even if they play 2 of the worst sides going around).

Yep, especially if Benji isn't right.

Maybe.
The Sea Eagles went through a three game golden patch, but they have misfired all year and have a forward pack that can be dominated.
But then again they were at near, if not full, strength whilst the Eels have half a team missing and have Kelly at halfback and Joseph Paulo and Morgan in the side. Those three players are maybe the three worst first graders playing right now.
Plus the Sea Eagles had everything to play for.

So maybe you are right

I can see Dragons dropping both games but I can't see Manly winning both. The team that finishes 5th will be licking their lips that's for sure.

Haha f*ck manlys eyes! Foran looks like he's had enough of their sh*t. Titans definitely dodged a bullet with dce.

After seeing phil "the cursed" sigsworth on the sideline, I knew u were f*cked

 

[Yosemite Sam]

The Dragons would now need to drop both games wouldn't they? 2 Points clear with a vastly superior for and against.

1 win from 2 will guarantee the Dragons 8th spot, regardless of Manly winning both their remaining games (doubtful).

 

[Card Shark]

Yeh, besides Manly having to win both tough games, they need to improve the for / against considerably.

Almost a double loss today, didn't get the 2 points they banked on & the big improvement In for / against we all expected.

 

[Evenflow]

I don't think they'll make it and i for one am happy about it. Being a Storm fan i obviously hate them and the feeling is mutual so that's a big reason but at the same time i respect them very much and i'm glad they're out because on their day they can beat anyone. If anyone could win from the bottom half of the 8 i reckon they could've.

 

[Card Shark]

My thoughts too Even.

 

[Hutty1986]

Theyre gone now but what an incredible run its been. Best side of the past decade.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Yep, they've run their race. They rallied while the media were piling onto the coaching drama but they weren't gonna have the troops to match it with the top 6 anyway.

 

[tumbidragon]

Didn't even need to cheat the cap either. Top marks Manly.

 

[cleary89]

no.
