Pre-Game Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]

[Waz13]

It'll be interesting to see how Arthur combines with Ola.

Just feed him early ball. I think it will be better as well as Arthur will engage the line more where dce likes to wear a clean jersey. Will be interesting defensively as well. Dce still a bit of a liability coming out of the line.

Eels are certainly having more of a dig. Win won’t come easy, but if we are Fairdinkum we should still win and reasonably comfortably, provided we put in. It’s basically a better side than the Panthers game and at the same venue. Like others have said consistency is the key. We turn up like Penrith game we’ll win.

We actually don’t have a great record at commbank 8/24, so getting one over the Riff there was good.

I’m sure the Slime will be motivated and they are playing better footy, we just need to make sure we don’t turn up with the wrong attitude thinking this one will be 2 points in the bank, I’ll be happy if we grind out a win or even earn it the hard way, couldn’t care less about the score, it’s a pretty important game table wise.

Time we backed up a good win with another solid performance and win.

Yes. If we can't win this just put a red line through our season.

Is Galvin signing with the Eels tomorrow and therefore lining up against us on Friday Night ?

That would be just our luck 😂

They are playing better now they have Moses back but he won't be there this week and no Lomax weakens them as well
A game Manly shouldn't take lightly though

Didnt we do that in Round 2 when the Warriors pumped us?

I thought he was going to the Dogs.

Couldn't agree more. One thing that worries me is that Parra played five or six games without Moses so should be able to adapt more easily for his absence than Manly without DCE. I'd love to see Jake Arthur have a blinder but in all fairness if his defence holds up, his kicking is good and he can provide good service to the runners that should be enough. Great to have Croker back - he's been sorely missed, especially his kicking game which is an absolute bonus in a hooker.

Manly and Parra again... this'll be good.
