NO! Don't let them close Tank.
Not entirely sure they are closing for good. Think the bloke said something about the cabins getting refurbished. maybe the joint is getting a makeover because they know they will be getting a huge influx of visitors as we roll on to our first premiership!!

Pretty sad if this game i'snt a sell out (pending weather). Saturday night game, 7 on the trot, 'should' win.

I had planned on driving up with the kids and staying in Cronulla, but apparently the Cronulla Cabins are closing.... Nowhere within walking distance for families to stay anymore..

You'd hope the Cronulla faithful will be out in force & come out of the woodwork but the Manly fans are known for not attending away games.

I find it hard to trust filthy St George supporters.

They are closing but I got in this weekend. Booked today. This is the last weekend they are open.

What cabin did you get? I called up two weeks ago trying to get a family delux and they said they were booked out.

Since Round 3 Manly have beaten Roosters, Warriors lost to Eels, Souths then beat Knights by only 16 points. Broncos and Cowboys dealt with them easily it was like 64-24 over both games for us that was 48-44. Based on form we have got this i know how that always goes when we should win games but come out like we have recently and play the full 80 again and we have this, some say we need a loss but it think we have learnt from each of the 7 wins.

I reckon we could have learnt as much from one loss tbh. Poor time management.

You don't always learn something from losing if you look at the Broncos game we turned what should have been 46-18 or something, up by 22 at half time, into 30-28 we slacked off and it showed as they made a game of it until we woke up, there was 2 or 3 easy tries we should not have let in so we come out next game almost same score half time and we never let them in yea it's Knights but so what a loss to Broncos would have taught us what exactly?

We learned a lesson there even if against the bottom team as long as we don't get over confident on wins and learn from mistakes like that how is a loss more helpful?

So 4 out of the next 5 games we play are at home + two byes are thrown in the middle:

Manly - Sat night (H)
Bye
Dogs - Mon night (A)
Cows - Mon night (H)
Bye
Warriors - Sat night (H)
Eels - Sat night (H)

Each of those games has the potential to be real tough. Hopefully we can keep the home fortress in tact and take a 9-0 record going into the run home.

Manly and Cowboys will be tough, Warriors and Eels we can handle then it's Knights, Raiders, Roosters we could be 12/12 at home the way it's going.

Been looking forward to this since we lost to them last start. Geez I hope we win one point even will do me. Don't wish to be a sad Zac but can't seem to forget the loss to them at home last year which left us outside the top 4! Surely we owe them a spanking!?

Eels should be tougher than manly, especially if they drop one more before then, every game will become do or die almost. Wouldn't it be nice to go undefeated at home for the season.

Sure they won't be easy same for Warriors but at home with the crowd behind us and even more wins by then hopefully dare to dream and keep it going, it's just a lot better run of games then it could be really.
