Game Day: Eels v Manly [Round 16, 2023]

[Go manly]

Can't believe how at over 70, I can still get so emotionally invested in Manly beating the hated Parra filth.

Best wishes to Arffur in his starting debut .... shut those loud mouth red neck jerks up with a MOM performance ..

For the third and last time .... Weekes do not die wondering ... you need to RIP IN SON!!!!!!!!

Manly by 10.

Hope that Alioia is fit and ready for a decent hit out and can rip in a bit , really overdue to make a good contribution again . Combined with Bully , should be able to give Manly some extra punch as they already should have an edge in the forward stakes if the run on pack can play to their best level or close . Haumole has still been putting in but also hope that he will be able to provide some better results with his attacking plays . Arthur seems to have a fairly steady approach to his game , does not have to overplay his hand , and ideally Shu through some gradual match fitness can step up even more . Great if Weekes can come into his own more Gutho is obviously always a player to try and keep tabs on , Cartwright and Matterson can be unpredictable , have to contain the Eels off loads and 2 nd phase attack , Fair bit on the line , need the win in so many ways . As usual try and do your best Manly .

Surely Matterson is due for another shocker of a tackle resulting in a sending off

As long as its on one of his own players ...... or better, the ref.

 

[ManEagle]

Rip in and rip at them .they are the fking enemy treat them as such

Yes Parker isn't there and hopefully Kola is too quick for him to hit.

 

[Seagles68]

Is Koula marking Penisini?

 

[mickqld]

Away from 4 Pines our forwards lose all grit and grind. They go missing and lack mongrel.
Without the Turbos and DCE we have no leadership and direction. No game management and Weekes has offered nothing so far from fullback. Worms by 16

They did ok in Canberra recently, so hopefully they'll remember that.

Hate the Eels. Love to see Gutho have a cry - it must be along drive home. Lets see the Shoe rise as he has done against the eels in the past.

He might sulk because his whinge partner is missing.

I can see it completely differently @mickqld I see us winning this game by around the same margin. We will either come out and play like we did last week, or we will do the opposite and fall apart from the onset. Manly by 20.

Thanks @mickqld for doing your job 😉

 

[Ben]

If we shut down RCG we win this. Simple as that

 

[ALinda]

As @Bearfax said in the other thread, my main concern is Sivo and Tui coming in and not staying on the wing. Also hoping Weekes steps up and covers Gutho sufficiently.

That said, if our forwards play to their full potential and Schu shines, we should get away with a win. Looking forward to seeing JA make his starting debut and good luck to him.

Great footy weather, no excuses. Go Manly!!

 

[Eagles4Life]

Thanks @mickqld for doing your job 😉

An important job it is @mickqld However, because of the Jeckyl and Hyde nature of our season to date, Micks predictions/write offs could also turn out to be dead accurate, or the opposite will turn out to be true.

 

[Eagle 1]

Geeez, I was just starting to get excited. But now .........

Was gonna say, ...why bring it up..seriously.

 

[Vyssini]

Schu shines

I see what you did there...

And the prophet of doom speaks again. Hopefully it happens again, you tip against us...then we win again.

Some things will never change @Woodsie , and hating the Parra filth is obligatory for all Manly fans, regardless of vintage.

Since Turbo became a regular first grader in 2016, when was the last time a Manly team without DCE, Turbo & Jake won?

Best i can tell, never.

The last time all 3 were out before 2023, was apparently vs Penrith in Rd 12 of 2019. Manly lost 15-12 at Penrith Park.

Surely they have all been out for Origin before? Not saying we could have won…
