Dear Easts... don't screw up!

[Vasco]

I have to say I don't know a great deal about the Manly squad. How many of the 7 would have made the 17?

All seven.

[eddie]

If we don't win this by 40 then there's no point in making the 8.

The game managers can help Manly make the score closer despite how we play.
As long as we're the better team and win well I think the score is irrelevant.

[dice]

Imagine Ism22 as the coach. This is a leg up. Good way to improve our for and against with a flogging. Then wonder why they lost the game.

[TheLoneRooster]

There is zero reason for us to turn up complacent. Brookvale is not an easy place to win at and our season is on the line. Start well put some early points on snd take the crowd out of the game. Most likely though this won’t be allowed by the game managers who will probably start the game giving Manly a handful of penalties and six agains, which will see us having to defend our line repeatedly early on.

Well said and I agree with you, particularly the game managers comment. The situation has the hallmarks of the game managers not allowing the Roosters to win big. I predict the sea egulls to receive the first penalty and the first two 6A calls, and the Roosters to receive neither for the first 15 minutes. JWH is also a chance of getting binned. Tongue in cheek of course, but it wouldn't surprise me if my predictions come true.

With the absolute screw up last week, one hopes that the referees will be less willing to pull any bullshit moves. Manly deserves an arsekicking after their nonsense.

From what I just saw and heard from Trent on my tv news, we could well be having a Pride jersey in future.

Ha your predictions happen most games - I'll be happy if it's only that!

If we play dumb like we did at the start of the Knights game last week we could find ourselves losing this match.
We need to make effective tackles without any contact with neck or head, even if only gently.

True, they weren't particularly bold predictions, because as you say, they happen most games.

If you are not named in the Tuesday listed team you cannot play. The NRL would need to change this rule for them to play.

Thanks mate. Wasn’t sure if I’m this strange instance if they had any way around it.

[rented tracksuit]

In the end they wear the jumper for what 2 hours or so - gees I remember World Series Cricket in 1978/79 when the West Indies were up in arms about wearing a shade of Pink as back then Pink was associated with the Gay Community.

Nowadays no one is bothered and the society has moved on except some religions that is - They have the Pink Test and the Panthers wear Pink Jersey's.

If they are so religiously minded and stick by the scriptures they should not be playing on Sunday's then - supposed to be the sabbath where they rest and do no work

Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

The seventh day is Saturday.

How is there any pride in causing division?

[Eggspert]

Can't see anything but a big win for us especially with our form the last 2 games & Manly with their outs. If we are switched on & serious then it will get ugly for Manly.

Exactly right. Where do some of these BS rumours originate?

Not saying there's any substance in the 'rumour' but I reckon that given the circumstances, the NRL would probably arrange some sort of an exemption for players who are willing to turn this one around.

As such, I wouldn't rule out seeing at least one of them play. I don't have an individual in mind, but I doubt the NRL would block a guy who is willing to demonstrate that this has been a chance for them to reflect and go forward with a growth mindset.
