    Should be a good game. With Stewart back I definitely like Manly for this one. If it was at Brookvale I'd back them by 13+. Who do you blokes favour?
     
  2. Toolman TR Man

    Carney out or in?
     
  3. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Carney's out; Manly should win fairly comfortably.

    It's interesting IMO that Cronulla have named Lewis rather than Graham at five-eighth this time. Obviously not impressed with Graham's stint there last time.

    Gallen says he's out. Fucked if I know.
     
  5. Hunter AD Hunt

    I thought Stewart was out?
     
  6. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Apparently Stewart is out again as well. :laugh:... So that evens it up a fair bit. Manly are a shadow of themselves without Stewart.

    Townsend is playing, I think that's extremely gun.

    Surprisingly not as nervous as I was last week.

    Fuck knows who'll win sans Stewart and Carney. Lean Manly I guess, but it's pretty much 50/50.
     
  10. Toolman TR Man

    Cause you expect to lose.
     
  11. Toolman TR Man

    Lol 50/50 my ass, Manly aren't $1.30 favourites for no reason.
     
  12. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    It's not 50/50 but 1.30 does seem a little short considering it's going to be a pro-Sharks crowd and they're basically impotent in attack without Stewart. Adding to that, Cronulla have shown recently what they can do to top 4 sides when they come out on fire. Manly should win but an upset wouldn't be totally shocking. 3.85 is pretty good value IMO.

    Townsend's officially in for Gibbs; Hiku in for Stewart.
     
  14. Wilson SB Wilson

    Stoked Townsend's playing. We've really benefited from Lewis' running on the edges and Graham just isn't a five-eight.
     
  15. Alec AD Funkotron

    Manly should win fairly comfortably.
     
  16. Wilson SB Wilson

    Read that Gallen will start at prop and Heighington at lock with Fifita on the bench.
     
  17. Cribbage RG Cribb

    I don't think this is happening. Or rather, if it does, then you'll get fined. You've announced your final side.
     
  18. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Would really make sense though as you've got 0 props on the bench as it stands.
     
  19. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    With all the tension and passion and nerves at this time of year I just wanted to remind everyone to put it into perspective. It's only a game.

    And Origin is much more important.
     
  20. Cribbage RG Cribb

    You just lost the game.
