Get to win stadium on Saturday
Gates open 3pm.
Jersey flegg v manly 3.15
dragons v manly nrl 5.30
isp on Sunday at 1pm at win stadium
v Blacktown workers.
Why can't we have all 3 on the same day at the same ground.
NRL has no idea

Bang on, DA61,
Why can't we have all three grades playing on the day.

The fans would love it.
The players would grow more accustomed to playing in front of crowds, so when they get promoted to first grade in 2027, they would be more content with it,

The club would save cost by grouping it all together on the day.
Everyone wins!

Oh, sorry ......... that's right ........... the game is being run by people who have no idea about rugby league, nor have knowledge of the clubs, etc.

Peter Bulldust couldn't run a state government, proved that he had no idea with the Commonwealth Games ( another big stuff up )................. so we have no chance with the NRL.

With 6 day break the Dragons will have the time to get everything back onto an even keel . The players put far more into yesterday's win than some predicted but with this weeks rest they will be a far more potent side in attack .

Cannot see the Manly forwards matching ours if we get off on the right foot . With Frizell , Simms and De Belin shutting down anything that the Sea Eagles may throw at us and big Paul Vaughan and Ah Mau charging onto the ball we will be strong . They need to put a target on Cherry Evans to ensure that he can not get the Manly backs moving , that will undoubtedly come down to our man Simms .

Feel a lot better about this match then the previous one , another 2 points coming our way .

Yea. Could matter a lot.

Attack: Mann may be positioned to actually catch a Lafai pass, Mcdonakds positioning isn’t great.

Defensively: McDonald and Aitken both like to rush in.
Yeah, the thought did occur to me that how did Aitken and Nene defend togeather last year, then the answer occurs to me, not great.
Mary must have lost the tapes of last year.

Wasn't MacDonald saying that one of the reasons for his good form this year because of the switch back to his ""preferred" left side? Seems odd to switch him back.

My thoughts too TRVR
He couldn’t find the line on the right when used there & most on the forum were calling for him to be moved to the left where he is obviously more comfortable.I’m confused with this if it actually happens.

Interestingly enough Mann named on the left wing, not the right and McDonald makes the switch across.

Not sure this is correct. MacDonald has been in the 2 jersy all year on the left and Nighty in the 5 on the right. Mann in now in the 5 and I’d say on the right. If you look at wingers, centres and back rowers I’m not sure you can allocate a number to a side (all teams seem to be different).

Correct you are. Good pick up!

I was confused by that one.

Korisau is out for Manly which is a big loss for them. Whilst they have the Turbo bros they are a threat but realistically we should win by 13+. The Dogs scared us because they are a grinding side that dragged us into a slugfest. Manly aren’t like that and have a lot of errors as a result of trying to be a side they aren’t(flamboyant, throw it around etc).

The big question is how many minutes Zeppo Marx will get off the bench*.

I read on another forum some Manly fans were wrapping Koroisau's replacement. We should win though.
