Post-Game Discussion Eels v Manly [Round 11, 2021]

[SeaEagleRock8]

Favourite moment among so many highlights. Thanks twitter for the image.

Turbo seems like a changed man. Whether feeling like he has to make up for ruining our start to the year (?) or for whatever reason, since he returned to the field he is simply ruthless.
Notice in the try celebrations, he isn't grinning and high-fiving. He is all business, job not finished, the game is a place where people can get badly hurt and is no laughing matter. He wants to win.
Tom is currently definitely in Immortal mode, and make no mistake, that can carry this Manly side a long long way, even this year.

It will be hard to progress much further up the ladder as our for and against is still just about breaking even.

At the rate we're going now anything is possible

Both Gutherson and Moses carried on whinging like pork chops all game, it's pathetic, I've seen under sevens behave with more dignity

I've never seen a pork chop whinge, except maybe when I throw one in the air fryer.

I like to compare Turbo to Inglis and I think he could be better if his body holds up. Inglis didn't have the all round game that Turbo has. Inglis did dominate at State of Origin level for a long period of time and win premierships though, which Tom has yet to achieve.

How was Gutherson's arrogance when he pushed Garrick away from the ref after the siren went during his kick at goal? Garrick should have decked him!!!

Turbo and GI are 2 quite different players but comparisons inevitable as both are tall back-line match-winners.
GI had the greater athleticism (barely) yet I predict Turbo to reach Immortal status first.
Mate he is taking personal responsibility for each game now. That's something Bob Fulton used to do, but not really a trait of GI, though he was a freak of a player.

I had a good laugh about that, moronic simple bogan

I thought wait till his mum sees that on TV

Above all things I’m loving the confidence and happiness on this forum again. It’s been a tough place at times over the last few years, and even worse over the early stages of this season. I don’t tend to argue with naysayers, I leave them alone and let them wallow in their own pile of mud, so I’d pretty much disappeared off this forum and only visited occasionally: it really wasn’t helping with my own mental health to be honest.... but things are happily back on track and this place has become one of good times instead of darkness...

Didn’t see that but they have some special ones at that ground. Must say I did notice the blonde chick after we scored the last try though ...

I personally thought after dropping the ball that he was looking around for a Manly player to blame, he's pathetic enough to try it

Yer mate his antics and carry on **** me, him and Gutho what a pair of wankers, they should both pull there heads in and concentrate on their own games, it was so good to see them cop a dose from us on Sunday

Just watched a replay. Can anyone explain to me how Parramatta got the ball and Gutherson was able to take a quick restart after Garrick split them up the centre, chipped ahead and the ball hit the posts, only for the Eels to ground it in the in-goal? Baffled me at the time and baffled me again the second time around.

Saw this on Facebook LOL

I thought the same..... None of the commentators said anything so I just thought i'd missed something.

No Manly player got a touch as far as I could see, so it had to be a line dropout. Except Gutherson picked the ball up immediately and ran to take the tap. Pretty sure he was taking the piss and the referee followed his lead.

Just watched game of the round on Fox, obviously our game, looked like the ball rebounded off the post and hit garricks hand as he was running through, he didn't play at it, just an awkward bounce

The gentrification of Parramatta is not 100% complete.

(Obviously I'm focussing more on the charmer giving our lads the finger on the left.)
