Top 8

redwhiteblue predicted Manly would win the comp this year before a ball was kicked off & I must admit I laughed but I tell you what they are a real chance of winning the comp IMO.
redwhiteblue I think will have the last laugh.

Yep agree. Manly look the real deal this year. Barring any major injuries to key personnel they will easily make the 8 and give the finals a real shake.

Mate you have probably been around a bit longer than me, but how many times do you remember manly ever down for too long, the pr!cks just always manage to bounce back and defy the odds. All my mates are manly, and manly losing is as enjoyable as chooks winning for me.

Roosters won't be in it so I don't care

Brilliant

From the guy that likes to remind me of my failed Sharks prediction last year. Hopefully it's equally wrong

Agreed. I laughed too and after 2 rounds seemed vindicated.

Since then Manly have gone 9-3 and have looked very good. They'll make the top 4 imo and from there are a legit chance.

RWB you're a genius.

Manly are rubbish, as soon as the blowtorch is applied they'll crumble.

add Blake green for experience, and tapau who is playing like the form forward of the comp.

it will all crumble once Hastings starts seeing some game time.

Taupau has been unreal.

Every run gains plenty of ground with 3 or 4 defenders on him, and every second one of them has a good offload on the end of it that results in another 10-20m and serious momentum.

Form prop forward in the game atm.

[John Corey]

Tapau killed our pack earlier this year.

RWB picked Manly last November, she has got the last 10 right from memory. I will have a lash on them to win the comp tomorrow. That should stop them.

They are a very good team and usually the leading contenders each year start to announce themselves about this time of the year. I would be hesitant to write them off.
