Game Day: Eels v Manly [Round 11, 2021]

[Mark from Brisbane]

Absolutely. Disciplined footy will win games and no head shots! Eels will milk everything tho.

Milking existed in the past and occasionally got a penalty , what I saw yesterday was a serious game play in almost every tackle to win a penalty and get someone sent off!

There was a crusher tackle penalty last night when I saw a Broncos player “ push up “ basically creating a crusher , it was the biggest milk I’ve seen.

That’s just outright cheating not gamesmanship.

No Mark - that's just rugba league - V'Landys style.

Woke up with a stiffy. Good signs for Manly cause the early bird catches the worm.

If I don’t get up now I won’t finish my chores and no game... best drag my ass out of bed...
Go Manly..

 

[ManlyTragic]

Today’s paper has cust playing.... is he in or out?

 

[Woodsie]

Welcome Karl Lawton .. you're an Eagle now ... soar like one and rip in ...

I ponder if the betting agencies could fashion a market for 1st sin bin and 1st send off like they do with first try scorer .... even at the likely prohibitive odds of Saddler he would be worth a punt ...

 

[Go manly]

Andrew Davey presented Jake with his jersey ahead of his 150th game tomorrow

Nice one, by Andrew and good on the Club for that nice touch.

I hope Andrew's re-hab is going well and Jake rips in today.

Game day squad has been finalized or presumably officially and he was not in that .

 

[Rosko]

Well we've been presented with the opportunity to go into lone 6th and within reach of the top 4. It's up to us. Discipline with posession, penalties, set restarts is in our hands. Dont give the whistle clowns any reason to take this away from our hands. Give it everything Manly. Make this the sweetest win in years.

MIGOTY
Outright 6th on the line and Souths are imposters in top 4.

I hope you've finished your chores mate. It's going to be a cracker of a game.

Does Croker have 9 minutes still in the bin or does a new game wipe it?

If defender is penalised (penalty, bin, report, sent off, whatever) the 'injured' player should be removed from the field for medical assessment & a minimum of 10 minutes recovery.

Looking forward to a great contest with our rivals, though I fear we'll lose players either from being injured by head-highs or being the perpetrators thereof. Saddler, Marty and co. please keep your discipline in check...can't afford anymore forwards' losses.

On my way out to Bankwest for the 1st time - hopefully it'll be memorable for the right reasons. Go Manly!!!

 

[Will on the hill]

Parker needs to take at least one hit up every set. His ability to get whacked in the head has gone from a liability to a superpower.

 

[Snake]

This is a really interesting matchup.

On one hand, we are in good form and it could be that Jacob Arthur comes down to earth after last week and Tommy Turbo welcomes him to the realities of FG. The Eels have to lose sooner or later.

On the other hand, if Parramatta turn up to play, you'd have to think they'll get the advantage through the middle of the ruck with their hard running pack and effective 9.

I'm hoping the Eels are a little flat and we can jag a win but it'll bloody tough.

 

[BOZO]

The sin bin is a curse for teams going down
So the most discipline team today will get up .

If we can keep our heads on our shoulders and maintain our game plan and team intact we can win this one

We love Manly
Meat pies , Line breaks , Great tries
Kangaroos
and Turbo Cars

Go the mighty Sea eagles

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Do it for Bozo!!

Win ya bastards WIN!!

 

[The Royal Soup]

Gotta do it for Bozo today! Desmond will have them pumped!

 

[hozza]

Fire up boys, big game against Parra scum. Let’s do the great Bozo proud and smash these pretenders..

 

[voicefromthehill]

I am hoping for a sign of respect from Parra and a minutes silence is observed - fierce rivals but would be a classy move

Update - Parra has just announced they will
