Pre-Game Eels v Manly [Round 3, 2024]

[rj90]

Hot tip: No one checks what tickets you buy.
Buy 1 adult and 3 kids tickets, and 4 adults can enter.
Buy a family pass and 4 adults go in.

I would never suggest doing this, but can confirm its been done in the past.

Out of all the refs, this bloke Peter Gough seems to go ok handling Manly games.

Interesting stat…​

Three Eagles​

Manly are also looking to start 3-0 for the first time in a long time, having last achieved the feat in 2007. A perfect record through three games may lead to a spike in calls to Ticketek from the Peninsula for grand final tickets, as on five of the previous six occasions that the Sea Eagles have been perfect through three games, they have made the decider.

The Eels, however, won’t be allowing their long-time rivals an easy time of things. Parramatta have won three of the previous four clashes between the two sides and have won four of five against Manly at Commbank Stadium, including a 34-4 victory last start

[Bomb Voyage]

On Aloiai, I have rewatched his opening run from the kick off last week about 50 times. That was a thing of beauty. Hard pressed to find a harder run this season. It was inspiring.

 

[manlyfan76]

Brooks to create space and time for Koula.
Eels backs are not quick.

Three trys down that side.

 

[Super Manly Bros]

Dylan Brown has seemed to go well against Manly sides in recent encounters and Gutho can be a bit of a menace factor as well .
Getting on top of their handy forward lineup is going to make it so much more favorable for another valuable win

Gutho always gets up for our games! But the queen has inferior backline players to work with and that rookie center will have nightmares after Sunday

It's like we've bought a brand new forward, such a completely different player from last season and the one before. I always thought he still had this within him, just had to shake off all the injuries to prove it.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I guess it’s been said by others but this is a real test for us , mainly due to the home ground advantage they have.

They are rightly favourites but I still think we can win , especially if we replicate last weeks games in the forwards.

I have not been his biggest fan since the Rainbow fiasco a couple of years back but got to say he is playing big minutes and playing really strong. With Taniela they are arguably the best front row in the comp. With Lodge and Sips looming on the bench, I think that would be a premiership winning engine room.

Not sure what Pete's laughing for, everyone's different I guess.

We only have to hold our own in the forward exchanges, for us to easily take this one out.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

We should have beaten their side without Moses in round 2 last year and got flogged. So I’m real nervous. I hope we can focus and keep up our momentum. It will be a tough game.

 

[Pete W]

Not sure what Pete's laughing for, everyone's different I guess.

I just find it funny the bias supporters show to their beloved team. Now we have the best starting front row in Australia lol??

I wonder what JFH and Leota would have to say to that, or a number of other rotations who have been successful, actually dominating consistently for a number of years

Silvereagle said "arguably" the best front row in the comp. So we can argue the point on this. Anyway, it's a Manly supporters forum site, of course we can be bias, every other Clubs supporters are biased as well.

We beat them in that game 34-30. If you are talking about the game in Brooky.

Wouldn "t underestimate any of their players T B H , every chance they will be up for it as a team .
Experienced forward line up , Lane [ and Cartwright for that matter ] has previously given problems .
Good halves pairing plus Gutho .
Way Manly has approached and competed this season , really encouraging and quite confident if Manly also are up for it

 

[manly al]

We beat them in that game 34-30. If you are talking about the game in Brooky.

Probably the 2 nd game at Comm bank and what a disappointing loss and performance from the Manly side .
Quite a few key Manly players not available but Eels had a few key players unavailable as well
