All Discussion on the game in this thread - Pre Match (First Try Scorer, Predictions) Live Scores & Post Match Thoughts.
 
TBH I am slightly confident for this one :)

I cant wait to see a Vuna kick return again aswell!!!

Lets just hope Wes gets fullback if Gids goes to the halves and not McDonnell.
 
If Mcmanus is out then Kev should FINALLY be given a go. If Stone turns around and just throws Lulia in there again im going to start a war against Stones coaching position
 
My heart is saying a famous Knights upset victory, but my head is saying a 40 point thrashing. I will be going to the game no matter what to cheer on the boys. UP THE KNIGHTS!
 
Guys we have not lost a Monday night game at home in 5 attempts. Remembering the penrith game earlier this year was an afternoon game. Also Manly have only won once here since the northern eagles breakup. A close upset win is on the hands & needed aswell.
 
I don't really know how anyone can have any confidence about this game. Manly have hit some good form lately & we've named one of the crappest sides we've named this year plus the boys are down on confidence after 2 bad losses & a couple of season-ending injuries, & too make things worse i doubt anyone in the team, even Gidley, believes they can make the finals knowing they can't lose a game to do it.
 
Agreed. Although I'll be watching and cheering for the boys I can see this being very ugly...
dont worry i know the sharks will get flogged every week, but i still go for em, to me footy isnt about just winning, its just great to support someone and ride that roller coaster, a team winning or losing doesnt affect my life so i just watch and enjoy either way im still alive and have me health haha
 
I'll have my fingers crossed til my hand cramps but I can only see a gubbing at home to Manly. I'm glad my free NRL access has finished cause this might be a heart-breaker and season killer.
 
I think thats a terrific line up ive been waiting for Gids in the halves and Mcdonnell at fb since start of the year but id have Edwards starting instead of Tolar

Knights 16
Sea Eagles 12
 
just wondering how people think Manly won't score more then 20 points this game? We've leaked 80 points in 2 matches, and manly have scored 86 points in 2 matches. If we win, it's going to be a high scoring match

Another thing confusing me, how many props have gone from rookie to starting prop in the 4th NRL game?

The guy needs a good half a season to a full season playing 20,30,40 minutes off the bench before he is even considered starting. Coming on against a tired team isnt the same as playing the usually very physical period in the first 20 minutes of the game.
 
Heard Fatty say it will be a tough clash when they previewed us, like i honestly dont see us winning against Manly. We've got injuries & its not like lately we have been playing good even without them, the 3 matches we won were against Parramatta 6-4, Titans with no Prince & Sharks which we played crap in we were just lucky they didnt play any better than we did. And also all the positional changes, Mullen i think is slowly gaining his form back & now hes shifted to five-eighth again with the 3rd halve pairing this year. If we pull this off will be so happy but cant see it unfortunately :cry:
