IF

[Mickie Lane]

If the Roosters get over Manly it would like winning the comp.
How incredible would it be. I know I dont give the Chooks a chance of winning the comp but fare out what an & effort it would be to go 1 game from the GF if the Chooks beat Manly.
The Chooks will have to be so much better across the park to match Manly though. I think everyone would agree that Manly are a better side than the Titans & the Roosters only just got home by the skin their teeth against them.
The bookies will have Manly as favorites
Go the MIGHTY ROOSTERS..

Manly were embarrassed last week and were expected to be much more competitive. They will be a different team this week and Turbo won’t go two games in a row without making an impact. We are our own worst enemy. Our fait is in our own hands. If we play to our potential we can beat them. They haven’t beaten anyone decent this year.

Its 2 against 1
rads and teddy v turbo.
We should win

[milanja]

If you were to make a combined team from both teams, what would it look like?

what I’m getting at, limiting turbo, makes them a worse team than them limiting teddy. So realistically, it should be close, if turbo is on, he makes their whole team better. Melbourne did it, I’m sure we have some plan in place.

I agree with the initial post With the amount of injuries we have had all over the park To win this week and play in a GF qualifier would be an incredible achievement.

If you were to make a combined team DCE & Foran would be the half & 5/8. Along with hooker & fullback 1/2 & 5/8 are the most important position & they have the better & much more experienced halves than the Roosters.

No argument from me there.

Manly have experienced skilful halves and Turbo. Their forward pack are no pushovers.

The question is, can Robbo's Rabble still get it done?

I heard Tedesco say something about eliminating errors blah blah, and I think it's something we've heard for a few months, when is that going to start to happen? Mind you, I hold no blame for Teddy cause we are still fighting thanks to him.

I was at the rugby last night and watched the All Blacks play, and every pass they made, stuck. The most outrageous passes were caught at speed and I wondered, what does it take to get ALL players to have those skill? Compared to their level of handling, we are school kids.

Also that time wasting POS TJ Peranara was playing...he was very good! What an Arsehole!

[Johnny Tobin]

Manly aren’t that good. They haven’t beaten anyone.

I think that if we can complete above 75% we are a very good chance. I wish we had Verrills and SST but I am resigned to no SST and probably no Verrills.

[Lydon]

People are talking about Manly in the same breath as Penrith and the Storm..

Simple fact is Manly aren’t that good and were shown up the other night, I agree they will be looking to bounce back but I’m sure we will be ready for it..

I think even minus SST and potentially Verrill’s we are pretty evenly matched, it will come down to Robbo and his tactics to nullify Tommy T..

We are a definite chance..

I think the bookies have been generous to Manly. We should be less than $3.50. We have the best player in the world for the last few seasons for a start. That instantly gives us a chance.

There's always the remote possibility that...
- We beat Manly then Souffs
- Eels beat the Riff and the Drizz
- We beat the Eels and win the most unlikely premiership ever (without having to beat the Drizz or the Riff)
