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

[eagleron]

Even the commentator on Fox said that on looking at it in slow mo, it should of been a send off. Big chance he wont be playing for mine.

Apparently he's free to play

 

[eagleron]

The great “ will Seggy get a run “ debate

And will we finally see Schu again

 

[Highflier]

He must’ve won back the dressing room. Phew

I'm a believer !!!

Wow...Sipley gets a fine for a cuddle around the legs....and Brown gets nothing for direct contact to the head, that'll do me.

 

[eagleron]

54-0. Let's hope for another 40 degrees day.

It's the old Manly loading mate, I know nobody likes us but do the officials have to make it so bloody obvious

 

[Eagle 1]

The NRL sure do have the “ playing favourites “ game down on pat don’t they ??

Yeah, they don't even hide it anymore.

 

[Eagle 1]

And will we finally see Schu again

Really hope so, we need his X factor in the Parra game big time.

Putting the result aside, just hoping the Manly team, particularly the pack are far more intense and direct....every TOUGH game, the forwards seem to play lateral at a slow tempo and by the time there's a shift, the backs are out of sync, working off zero momentum.
A win is the Ultimate goal, but just want this side build in a physical sense, really bustle them defensively and run with more aggression with the ball, hopefully in numbers....until these area's improve expect the same theory to ring true - we can't compete with the Top sides and sadly, the better sides are now realising it and appear to lack fear of the once well respected Manly team.

True.
I’ve heard if you lose the dressing room, you have to buy tables & chairs & set up your own camp.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Well it’s TLT

Will Seggy get a call up ??

My vote is no, but the drums in the media are building loudly !!

Underdogs suits Manly a lot better. I expect once we catch the ball from the kickoff all the players will again be filled with confidence and belief. Eels are a strong side across the park but their weakness is they can be a bit one dimensional. Moses won't relish running down Haumole's edge.

Let's hope SER8 because I don't think I can sit through another 80 minutes of what they dished up on Friday night.

Someone must have thought the $3.25 was good value because we've come in to $3.

The reality is the Worms have a decent pack and if ours doesn't match them, we may as well be at $33 because we won't even get close.

 

[Sheikheagle]

It’s hard not to like this guy. One of my favorites always puts in and a loss hurts him like it does to Jakey. Lock him up long term will get better and better.

They won't beat themselves. Their game plan is very simple and effective - big forwards Paulo RCG Brown Papalii etc taking turns as hard straight runners, then a big Moses kick to a corner.
Matterson provides some point of difference (and Cartwright in the last 5 minutes) but aside from that there isn't much finesse or deception just brute direct force. Which in rugby league is pretty effective!

So yep, 100% Manly need to match them all game up front. Can we do it?? We'll find out! And if we do we have the class to win.

If Croker was out, no doubt about it Mark, he'd get his chance, especially having the Lawman out as well. Croker and Jake will no doubt notch up high tackle counts, not sure Seggy's up to this tbh.

Our forwards generally turn up against the eels

They’ll be the most important part

Dont forget about Lane on the edge. He goes hard at the try line and has those 7 foot long arms to reach over. I cannot believe Manly let him go to that mob. Was that another Barrett stuff up?

Probably. The rumour was Manly wanted to keep him but the Eels offered more. But it was also rumoured he wasn't impressed with what happened to Jacko - a situation Barrett is ultimately responsible for - and that probably played a part in Lane deciding to move on from Manly.
