That’s a good boost to the forward pack getting Aloiai and Brown back next week.

 

[simon64]

This'll be my first home game for the year.

That's if I can figure out how to redeem a ticket. So far, I'm just confused.

 

[Ryan]

This is the one I badly.want - most hated team. Dodgily won the last.one. Revenge time. Please Manly win this..Do a number on them. It'll be especially enjoyable because they are down for the count ATM

 

[NREagle]

A strong defensive effort is what I want to see this match.

We have so many attacking weapons, the points will come if we can just grind them down defensively.

Big crowd at home will also help.

So @Ryan how about a Friday night win against the eels and date night for us. What did you say, love? Perfect start to the weekend?

get a room you two

Sounds more like a date night at the 4 Pines bar afterwards.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Yes , as I’ve said before my best mate is a Slime supporter ( it’s funny how we both became supporters of different teams , junior rugby league , 8 years old , each team played in the colours of a Sydney team, I got chosen for the Sea Eagles jersey , him the Parramatta jersey , this was 1963), and he’s one up on me this year so we need to win to square the ledger.

And if we win this , that’ll be 5 wins & a draw from 8 games.

I think I said before kick off “ we should beat the Dragons & the Titans but could well be 2 from 8”.

Plenty of whingers on here , and yes we have a lot to improve , but just a little reminder.

We are currently 5th and are on 9 points
Every other side above is has their bye points.
Add our bye points in and we are on 11 and just 1 point behind the front runner.

Lots to improve but going very nicely.

 

[stoodamire]

revenge is on the cards here.

Our bench looks good

14) Lawton
15) Bullemor
16) Lodge
17) Brown

Some serious aggression and up tempo play I suspect from us.

 

[double hoops]

Bull needs to see more minutes.

We're not using his speed up the middle enough.

Good try last night.

 

[manlyfan76]

Watched the Parra game.
Interested to see how Arthur responds to the loss. Not sure what moves he could make.

 

[Bloke on the hill]

The way to beat parra is to hit Gutho hard & often, right from the start - don't give him a moment to think about anything all game, the rest will collapse.

 

[double hoops]

We got to be better at wrapping the ball up in the tackle. Woodsys probably our best at that.

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

Get there and make some noise!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Get there and make some noise!

And boo the ref , they hate it and usually give us a penalty to shut us up.

 

[Carl]

We got to be better at wrapping the ball up in the tackle. Woodsys probably our best at that.

I noticed more urgency wrapping up the ball last night than I remember from earlier games this year.

A good sign for next week given Parramatta's propensity to offload and how it turned momentum last time.

I think we should be a little cautious when talking about our win/loss so far. After 7 games last year, we were also 4 wins and 1 draw. It's still way too early to be giving ourselves a pat on the back. Our defence is horrible. In fact, we are letting in more tries per game than last year, and are ranked lower when comparing to the other sides. We are seriously kidding ourselves if there isn't a massive improvement

I’m just looking at the opponents , and I think to have 9 points from the draw so far is pretty good.

But I agree we need much improvement.
