Game Day: Manly v Eels [Round 22, 2016]

[HappilyManly]

Parramatta cult hero Semi Radradra refuses to rule out exploring options outside the NRL, including rugby union,... https://t.co/i1NQtKWYAG

So Semi is still fully pissed with Parra

Another version of late mail

Eels vs Sea Eagles

Eels have only 2 concerns with Beau Scott and Bevan French both in doubt with ankle injuries, if Scott is ruled out Terepo would start at lock with Gower coming into 17. Bevan French will play after taking part at Captain’s run on Thursday. Michael Jennings (hamstring) has been cleared to play. Sea Eagles will have 2 changes possibly 3 changes with Myles (knee) and Parcell (hamstring) both coming onto bench for Fonua-Blake and Leary, other possibly change would be Lyon if he can overcome calf injury coming at 5/8 with Walker moving to centre Williame to wing and Wright dropping out of 17.

Jamie Buhrer named co captain with Jake, so no Myles along with no Lyon

There's a couple of sites that are reporting Killer, Myles and Parcell all to return tonight.

Surely if Killer is back Baz won't move Williame to the wing. Effectively that would mean moving a centre to the wing and leaving a second rower in the centres. If he did this, I would question his ability to pick a side, regardless of the result.

With all the rain, the track will be soggy and slippery so bringing Killer's dodgy calves back tonight seems high risk.

Manly can win this game easy anyway - if we can find a reliable goal kicker

When it comes to contracts he really is Semi professional.

 

[Crusher_Cleal]

Lewis Brown in the centres is offensive to me.

 

[globaleagle]

This was on the nrl site...

watch out...rooster????

Watch out Roosters: The returns of Scott and Ma'u – allowing Edwards and Terepo to revert to their bench impact roles – makes this blue and gold forward pack look a lot punchier than it did against the Tigers last week.

maybe they are trying to say we have nothing to worry about!

 

[manlyfan76]

@globaleagle are the ex Parra board working at the NRL now?

Agreed.

If lyon is back walker shifts to centre and lewis brown back to the bench.

Tried to ask them but they kept denying everything!

Just our luck match fixing talk pops up right before we play. The boys just have to drown it out and I have a feeling no one playing tonigh would be involved.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Now Jarryd Haynes back I hear he'll be playing , wonder where Parra will fit him in?? Oh that's right, he's at " left right out".

You know finally we get some momentum and are playing the slime tonight... what happens the betting scandal story update comes out with unjustified rumours at this stage, because that is what they are really only right now.

This story could of been published any day of this week but only now today these rumours service, funny that.

Also who do we play next week the scum-dogs that is right, this has Todd Greenturds hands all over this.

I bet you anything if we were playing say the raiders and panthers over the next 2 weeks these rumours would have not come to air but because we are playing 2 major Sydney team 's who greenturd is bowing down to he wants to try and give them any leg up they can have.

If Lyon and Parcell are both back the team should hopefully be:

1 - T Turbo
2 - Taufua
3 - Walker
4 - Lyon
5 - Wiliame
6 - Api
7 - DCE
8 - Lussick
9 - Parcell
10 - Taupau
11- Green
12- Buhrer
13 - J Turbo

14 - Brown
15 - Myles
16 - AFB / Starling
17 - Vave

Which, when you take into account our current form, would be the best 17 we've named all year.

 

[globaleagle]

Go Manly!

I need sleep

Our best 17 is Lyon at 6. Full stop.

 

[Kevinward777]

Agreed, Williame to stay at centre, Wright on the wing and Brown to the bench or farked off altogether.

I'm a bit worried about tonight. No one is giving parra a chance and they have flogged us the last 4 games. But if we really want finals footy we will win. I'll go manly by 10 with Tom MOTM
