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

[Eagle 1]

This will be a huge test, you can bet ya house that the NRL, Refs and bunker won’t want the Eels to start 1-2 so we will be up against it

from what i seen from Harper and the eels we should smash them 13+

And no Sivo, interesting to see what team Arthur comes up with on Tues.

If we win this one & are 3 & 0 I wonder if the media will start talking about us again ??

That would be some start to the year and infinitely possible.

Then 4 & 0 from the following game.

I am getting ahead of myself here but one can dream!

8th of May , 7 months ( WA) it’s happening.

BUT, I’ve moved into the 21st century as I now have Starlink so I’ll always be online ( yeah I know not the same ).

If we can just beat the Eels, I will confidently declare us as March Premiers.

Pre Season Premiers in 2023
March Premiers in 2024

Given the trajectory, we should be October premiers in 2031?

Eels looked pretty good against the Riff. If we aren't up for this one, the slime will put plenty on us.

They are weak in the backs but so are we with our injuries.

Our forwards will have another stern test but given how we played in the first 2 rounds I think we can get them.

 

[eagleron]

Ray or Parker to center Ruben to wing maybe
Rat more likely though

Seibs has already talked up Ray as the replacement

 

[Remy]

Commbank is a tricky place to win for us. Gotta win that forwards battle again and then just pepper the edges with good shape targeting Harper and Russell and should get easy points.

We win there all the time. Just not usually against the Eels...

Bunker clowns tried to rob us last weekend. Watch them go up tempo for this farce.

Yep it is gonna be a forwards battle that decides this one… squeels were winning the contest early against Riff but once the penny forwards got on top it was all over red rover…
RCG played massive last week and Hoffman and Cartwright were excellent… but our forwards were the equal of anyone against the rorters and will punish scumatta if they show us with that same level of commitment this week…

Was driving home from the game and the wife played what appeared to be a snippet of the presser. Said as much that Parker was unlucky not to be in the 17 over the first 2 rounds and was under strong consideration.

That was About Ray Ray..not Parker

 

[Sheikheagle]

Yeah my bad my 62 year old hearing is not what it used to be

The problem we have is that referee in the bunker has been given too much scope and they look for reasons to disallow a try. The referee should limit what is looked at, such as please check grounding, touch line, please check obstruction etc. This business of looking for reasons to disallow a try the referee didn't see is problematic. Things look very different frame by frame and that can of itself be misleading. The NRL need to reel in the bunker.

The Haumole no try was ridiculous. Watch it at normal speed and there is no sign of him losing it.

Just keep Sutton the heck away from the bunker please, this is all I ask.

The eels v Nathan brown will be awesome in itself

Curiously they never slowed down the replay on the so called bobble. What Sutton missed was Smiths hand on the ball, but he didn't see that.
