After watching them tonight, is this the idea time to play them?

Listening to it on radio, sounds impressive from Manly.

Whatmough is one of my favourite players, such a fast second row, I've never understood why he never gets a game for Aus/Origin.

His hit on Burrow was top class, read it and bang, ripping Leeds apart

manly are a class apart

Leeds are getting a good going over by some top notch R.L. from Manly...

Looks like we will suffer the Leeds backlash next week...

Hope Jimmy's learning from this. This is how the finest side in rugby league play, this is how the best defend, compare this to our defence and be 'positive' about it.

You'd think (well hope) that with playing on Friday our rehab work will be more or less done now. Leeds will be battered and bruised by this. Maybe the 2 days extra will help us

Clutching at straws!

He does/has.

It'll be nice to win, but at the same time, a win against Leeds will be tinged with sadness as you know it'll extend Lowes tenure.

I know he has, I shouldn't have said never, but he should be a regular and play every game in my opinion, as I rate him as the best 2nd row around.

How many games did he play in the world cup?

Manly were class, but i'd like to say how well Lee Smith played. He was excellent and looked as though he would be able to hold his own in the nrl.

I agree.
He was quite excellent tonight

We'll get walked all over on Sunday.

Yeh Lee Smith was excellent, i also thought Keith Senior looked strong in parts during that 2nd half and he caused Manly problems, its just a pitty we have such a poor left hand side as Ablett who is at right centre for them is a cart horse, touch wood that Webb aint back as that would mean that Lee Smith would be at right centre.

Made me realise how far removed from the top of the pile we are.

It's frightening to think what Lauatiti could do to our wafer thin defence if he gets maurauding like he did in the second half...

I used to think he wasn't fit enough to do it 2 weeks running, but he looks in shape this year

Agreed, frightening.

We'd have been out of our depth even in the fighting......

I dont believe there can be any rugby fan that doesnt like Jamie Peacock, getting stuck in like that was tremendous especially going back for a couple of goes, it was great stuff...

Really enjoyed that game tonight, some great hits, great tries and a couple of good punch-ups. I can see another mauling for us on Sunday, if Leeds play with half the intensity they played for spells tonight, its going to get very embarressing again for us.

Am I the only the one who thought the ref lost control of that game? Wasnt it the same ref at the Wire V Cats game who let all the high tackles go unpunished and then bam benny hits the guy into the middle of next week. The guy seems to let every thing go. Ok i enjoy watching the game for the big hits but only when there legal some of what both teams were doing was below belt.

He's not the best ref ever.

Don't know why they couldn't use the french guy, and keep it neutral

Eddie Hemmings had a moan about the punch up...And when is he going to shut up about the World Cup?... Christ it was months ago Move On!..
God that guy annoys me..

From what I saw, we will be easily beaten.

Leeds by 30+ if Lowes is still at the helm.

Pity nobody knocked ten shades of crap out of Bailey. What an odious person he is.
