Newy looking like a top four side. Good, another decent scalp for the Warriors.

are we watching the same game? Their first two games have been against the two likely candidates for the wooden spoon this year. The two times Manly was in the red zone, they leaked two incredibly soft tries. If Manly get an even share of possession, they still have a chance imo.

Agreed Manly look rubbish and the Knights let in two softies.
But I like their attack. No Ponga now though eh and maybe no Brown....so it might all be academic.

Unlucky for knights but they next on our plate and no ponga is nice for that 3 in a row feels more likely

Last year we might drop a game full of ring ins....there is the litmus test for us this season....real deal test coming up.

they need a 20 pt start given their injuries. Once Manly get out of their own way and control some possession, they might have a chance but I'm not holding my breath. I am more reacting to your claim they are looking like a top 4 team. Anyone can look amazing beating up on minnows.

Dylan brown out with a MCL. I feel sorry for the knights. I replicate them and their fan base to ours. Always loyal through thick and thin

 

[Naynay]

Bad news for the kiwis good news for us

 

[roguei]

Really will be our game to lose with 2 of their best players out. Should out right demolish them.

Right.

I meant all that, because they are playing minnows they look like a top four team....I should have clarified, extrapolated etc etc...

 

[sydneywarrior92]

What a dumb team Manly are.

 

[Mr Drag]

What a dumb team Manly are.

We got them in the last round!

 

[sydneywarrior92]

We got them in the last round!

they clearly aren't trying. Lack of urgency and can't score pts against a team that's just lost 3/4 of their spine in one half. There is something rotten in their playing group

 

[Christchurch_Warrior]

Manly are my pick for the second coach to be sacked.

 

[JaggedJ]

Seibold and Toddy are in a race for first coach fired.

Will be surprised if it's anybody else.

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

Manly look like shit

 

[Christchurch_Warrior]

Manly's attack reminds me of ours last year

 

[sydneywarrior92]

DCE clearly wasn't the problem.

 

[sydneywarrior92]

minus the defense and forward domination.

 

[The Undertaker]

Manly look worse than average. Knights look a bit rudderless without brown and Ponga - playing them away is always tough but we should take these guys… manly look spoon worthy
