We beat the Eels and its
Three Big Wins is a Row
and we will Be Rowing all the way to finals day

Sing with me feathered friends
All together now ....

Row, row, row our boat
Resiliently down along the stream
Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily
A Winning Manly is our dream

That Parra bench is mightily underwhelming.

And poor old Harper on the wing? That's a serious area we can exploit, along with that random centre.
True, but they have a very good pack. Simple equation for us: our forwards turn up with energy and intent like last week, then we win. It's been years since I've seen a Manly pack that could produce week in week out. Very interested to see if we really have turned a corner
 
There’s a chance Arthur is playing smoke and mirrors with Harper and Talagi. The debutant has been playing fullback of late. We all know Harper is no winger (he’s no centre for that matter either). Maybe there will be a swap before kick off? It might be intended to mislead Manly’s preparation.
 
That is one of the weakest Parra back lines I’ve seen in a long time. Their starting forward pack is good but not much on the bench. If we can contain their starting forwards we will absolutely carve up their backline.
Manly in a canter.

lots to like about our front rowers, loving the impact that Aiolia and Paseka brin, then followed up by Bully.

Harps playing centre works even better for us.
 
Bloody Eels, Anyone else notice that the single Manly fans away bay tickets are $50 per ticket. The bays next to the Manly fans bay and all the other similar bays at both ends of the ground are only $15 per person each. Stitch up......
