2018 Rnd 2 - Manly v Parra [Pre-Game Day Discussion]

[Mark from Brisbane]

As soon as the Panthers put the pressure on the Eels folded.

Great backline but maybe their forwards are more fragile than we thought!

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Parra desperately need a fully fit Gutherson

By the way , Parra looking a lot different in the second half with Panther pressure!!

Who knows maybe they aren’t as good as we think!!

No! The wrist slitters on here are never wrong. Parra will smash us just like they're smashing the Panthers. Oops.

Maybe they are a 40 minutes team

 

[BOZO]

Looks like a Panthers win . Great come back

 

[Deleted member 26876]

That is the best team we can name at the moment. Would be happy with that 17

Yeah, I like the look of that side actually. Whilst I believe Sipley will prove good in the future, I do agree that he needs to earn a spot. Didn't earn it in the trials I guess. I'd have Hastings give Api a spell midway through the game at hooker. Help re-direct the side and keep the flow moving

 

[Deleted member 26876]

The Eels are overrated, very much so. Panthers aren't world beaters and started poorly, yet managed to work their way back rather easily.

Too many penalty goals atm

 

[Eagle thru 'n' thru]

If We can't beat the worst team of the last few years then we can't beat anyone. Parra will kill us.

If yesterday's Manly team played last years Newcastle team, there would not be 26,000 spectators. Manly would've roll them. The fact is, the Newcastle of 2018 has added plenty of players with plenty of NRL experience, from teams with moderate to successful teams; Pearce/Roosters, Griffin/Storm, Heighington/Sharks, Guerra/Roosters,QLD, Lillyman/QLD. It will be a different result when played at Brookie.

By the time we play them again at Brookie we would hope to have a fit Walker back and a settled 5/8 into the team as well

@Ryan

Want to rethink that split peach buddy????

Walker and Lussick, should be back to add some slickness and starch.

I still think they will belt us. Their coach won’t cuddle them he will belt the fock out of them and they will bounce back sadly.

 

[Class of 96]

Pfffft - Parramatta. They had enough ball to lead 30-0 at half time. Nothing more than a gigantic steaming turd

Someone hand in next weeks team sheet on Tuesday before Barrett can get to it

 

[Mitch]

Don’t be surprised if Lussick is on the extended bench this week coming. He’s ahead of schedule and I know he’d want to be out there against Parra after missing the game Rd 1 last year.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Parra desperately need a fully fit Gutherson

So do we.

 

[mickqld]

Too early to predict what teams will shine and who'll struggle. Give it till rd6. Home ground teams are getting the wins. Let's hope it's our turn next week.
