Pre-Game Eels v Manly [Round 11, 2022]

[The Who]

Those Panthers back rowers will be salivating at the thought of easy try’s via that route.

Mark, we don't play the Panthers again (until, potentials, the finals).

Des is not using him right.His best work is through the middle but due circumstances,he’s been playing more on an edge.I’d have him ahead of Taupau now,especially after what Taupau has delivered of late

Guess that Des is hoping that he [ Marty ] can play with the same purpose and quite good input as he showed recently against the Tiggies . Probably included Sipley to also hopefully match up a bit better against the big Eels pack but conversely Bully has the better mobility . Would like to utilize his speed a bit better out wider but present recruitment would suggest Des sees him more of a middle forward Defensive work rate seems up to standard but probably can improve there as well over time .

Go Manly!!

I did mean to type Parra

You have achieved something that most men only ever dream of doing. You are an inspiration to many!

Yeah, you say that ... but how nervous would you be going to sleep every night

So how's this stat. We have no forward in the top 50 players for most post contact meters. The only player we have is Ruben Garrick. Parra has 4 forwards. Think I can see a pattern here. Our forwards are PISSWEAK !!!! Parra by 22. We will get smashed.

 

[mickqld]

Moses 14 try assists. He's double DCE and Dylan Brown. Everything in attack comes from Moses. So what should we do. Foran, DCE and Walker need to rush him, sit on him , give him no time or space and Parra have no other options.

Bullemor's report card grade is an incomplete right now.

I get that he hasn't blown us away. But if that was the expectation, then the bar was too high to begin with.

He's a young guy that has moved away from his comfort zone, moving to Sydney. Reckon it might take a little while to feel comfortable when that happens.

He's as you say also been playing out of position. In the minutes he has played in the middle I thought he looked ok.

Lets give him some time.

Bullimore needs to develop a war face .. he plays far to relaxed and comfortable ..

I wonder if those that have been underwhelmed by his performances would think the same if he wasn’t basically the only big signing the club d made in the off season?I suspect not many watched him at the Broncos and just thought he’d tear opposition apart due to the fact the club thought he was enough to spend money on

Or maybe there is, especially if he's a Parra supporter...............

I kept an eye on him in the Bronco games once I heard we were signing him.
I didn't have huge expectations to be honest. although thought he'd make a bit more impact.

Bit disappointed we don't have Atkins this week

He’s the best ref in the game. Just ask Vsutin.

Meanwhile I note that Gunty is playing his 150th FG game for Faecalmatta on Friday.

It's been a few seasons since Gutho was injured.
He would have solved our 5/8th problems 7 years ago when Foran ****ed off. Thanks u idiot Barrett.

Yep. Dont put kids in the waste basket if they have an early career long term injury. Hynes would be handy too. Teddy tedesco is perfect example. Thou tigers didnt dump him.

I see the War Face every time I see one of @Terry Zarsoff 's posts...........
