Big game coming up.

[Ray Stehr]

Manly at Brookvale on a Sunday afternoon, it doesn't get much tougher. We are a better side than Manly but we'll have to be on our guard. We don't want to give 15 000 out of control Manly (Mt Druitt by the sea) rednecks reason to spew their vile. I reckon it'll be a packed house.

[BTRD]

Yep. Manly spread the ball very well coming off their line. I always believe we are the best team in the comp, but unfortunately, we don't show it enough.

GO ROOSTERS.

[Waylander]

Looks like we'll be without Sitili as well. He's been sent for scans because of a groin problem suffered against the Bronco's.

[horrie hastings]

Probably will sell out seeing its Manly first home game, had a look yesterday and there was only a handful of tickets left in the grandstands, checked this morning again and all gone.

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

Manly did great to fight back and win against Souths. They're a good side. That 3rd turbo brother can play too.

No problem - next man up is EButcher or Angus.

Geez we have great depth this season!!

Turbo, Jurbo and the 3rd brother I guess must be Burbo ?

[Waylander]

Given Angus was 19th man last week, I assume he’s ahead of Egan, who has been named in Reggie’s this week.

Seems this way with critchon not named he must be the next man up and potentially will be next week
would rather see him get more minutes as well this weekend but robbo seems to like to put people on ice if they are required the following week

[Vasco]

Our overall record against Manly isn't great. Definitely a tough game.

[milanja]

At least they have lost a bit of speed out wide with Saab out, but koula looks dangerous, DCE is the best general kicker in the game, brooks looked ok, and then you got turbo and olakauatu. Definitely a decent team.

I think our forwards have a big advantage over theirs, and hope young is back for the game.

[Rooster_6]

Turbo is the most talented player in the game.

If he gets through the 80 it will be a tough game.

For sure!!! Manly seem to be strong this season with a bit of a new direction. While we beat Brisbane, I'm in no way assuming they're gonna be top-4 this season. I reckon they're a livewire team with Walsh and Haas, but they're the sorta team that goes down the plughole very quickly... e.g. when Piakura gets injured and Carrigan's gotta shift positions. Gone! Wouldn't surprise me if they dropped outta the 8. Don't wanna link it to the Mam stuff but IMO we mentally destroyed some of their young superstars who came out to Vegas expecting to be the heroes like last season...

Manly! No idea where they'll sit but their reserved looked VERY impressive against us. Not saying they're the team to beat or anything but at this stage of the season they're very much in the conversation.

Souffs the week after... meh. I'm excited about these games as I reckon we could set ourselves up nicely if our form continues. There's gaps but whatcha gonna do? This season has a good vibe about it.

[Teddy]

Turbo is the talisman and I love watching him
at his best (not against us though) this man has the weight of the Manly world on his shoulders year after year I hope he stays injury free he is due some luck. Of course the usual suspects DCE, Haumole, Garrick.

Our defence is first class if we come out like we did against Brisbane and hold the pill roll through our sets, our forwards should get the job done coupled with some second phase play and some Teddy and Manu magic we should get the chocolates, points are at a premium for us we need to execute plays well and back our defence to strangle them out of the game.

This Manly team is dangerous they look switched on they showed some courage and fight against the Vermin did well to get back into it and can score points quickly.

Geez our record is woeful against them.

GO EASTS!

Brookvale on a Sunday is always a hard task.
They do seem to have a better team this season but so do we.
I expect a close first half with us up by about 10 but to run away with it in the second half and win by a big margin.

Manly seem to be a team that win comfortably one week and get smashed the following week.
