[Brightman]

It'd be great to go into the finals with a win, go the mighty one warriors

 

[janfin]

You can do it .Just make sure that it is a win by 6 pls .

 

[BlackToko88]

Well all the games I though/felt confident we lost (aka phins at mt smart, eels last week, titans/panthers).

The game i thought we get pumped we win. But I do have a feeling DCE will have a masterclass today, and turbo as well.

With top 4 locked up maybe butler gives us a few calls rhis week

 

[Playdaball]

TT and Going to come in ?

 

[Zaggo]

TT and Going to come in ?

Who do you reckon Going would come in for? Clark maybe?

[Makasene]

Clark or Leka.

 

[MXRecord]

With the top four no longer possible which we can only blame ourselves for maybe it will take the pressure off and we jag a win. Who knows.

 

[WAH MAN]

Exactly. Our inconstancy is the only surety for us.

 

[Tohu’s_Knees]

Now that top 4 is gone. I’d like us to prioritise resting players. Get them fresh for the finals.
The boys are buggered and this team is in decline this year.

Instead of looking for some mythical 80 minute performance that means absolutely nothing 2 weeks in a row.

 

[jonesy101]

First time this season I can sit down and watch a game with zero nerves. Still want a win for the momentum though.

 

[Bluecat]

Warriors 12 and under.
I don't think it's likely as I think Manly will make a statement but I can't bet on them. And we must win 12 and under more than once when I predict it. Can't we?
I still hate Manly. It's like loving The Warriors. It never goes away

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

I would love nothing more than to send DCE out a loser!

 

[JustLikeStartingOver]

can only rest 2 players with the team sheet they have left, and then one of them has to sit around as 18th man.

its not much a forward pack manly have, two old slow props, two backs on the bench, jazzy who'll be good for an error. They will probably want to chuck the ball around, cf. SJ in rd 27 last year.

we can do it if we don't concede arsey long range tries again

 

[Lance155]

I'm torn between giving CNK and Clark a rest vs how desperate we are to show some good form

 

[Roadrunner]

All I want to see is a good solid performance from us into the lead up to the first knockout game then we win that and then fireworks time.Hey a man can dream can't he ?

 

[WAH MAN]

Win. No new injuries. Manly never let us have final round easy games.

Could be us by 14 or them by 26.

I'm in though. Win lose or win

 

[Naynay]

I think we dont worry about resting, just work a solid performance to set up the finals.

 

[Nakiproud]

Hard to know how to feel about this game after what happened last night...i guess win and maybe get 5th?? But feel a bit flat about it all...hopefully NO injuries!!!!
