Jennings signs a 4 y deal with Parramatta.

[Sheikheagle]

A 10/7 split is pretty close even though it's coming from a Manly fan.

The Mateo problem still looms in my mind, and I can see why Bozo wanted to offload him when he's taking the place of a real go forward middle player. Don't forget a few clubs have already ditched Mateo.
Moeroa is a very good young forward and there's no chance any coach would choose Mateo over Moeroa.

That would make it 9/8. Very close indeed, when we can acknowledge Manly have recruited superbly.

The one thing parra will never have is heart and a winning culture.

Manly wins 17-0 IMO parra have no players that would make manlys side

 

[Brookvale2015]

Is that the reason the Eels have thrashed the Eagles in the past 3 matches.

Very optimistic to say the least.

Guess what manly finished higher than parra yet went through more things than parra did all season yeah parra is so good

Para now have it all

Seasons at not won on paper, parra fans full of dribble as usual. Cronulla, Warriors, Penrith have also recruited well. I would say outside Titans, Knights and tigers ever team can make the 8.
IMO this will be closest season also.

 

[Brookvale2015]

I swear someone put up a picture of an DT article that said Jennings had suffered a knee injury or am I seeing things

Full marks to Parra on a strong recruiting drive. It's entertaining watching them serially breeching the cap to win their spoons. And you know it's the start of the year when the Parra trolls (yes that's you @Habib eagle) are gleefully visiting our site to gloat over their impending success, and Manly's demise.

And what do Parra fans really expect, deep down in their heart of hearts, after this recruitment drive? They expect to miss the eight, as usual, based on the odds flowing from Parra fans backing their team to win the big one.

 

[simon64]

Let's see what the betting agencies think. You'd hope that they, at least, would be unbiased.

To win the competition.....Manly $9 and the mighty Eels...$23.
So Habib, cash in cuz. Easy money bro.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Who is this Jennings fellow and why is so much effort being expended in weighing the pros and cons of a hybrid Manlymatta team?

 

[HoldenV8]

Who would we have in our Manly team from the Speels. Well......IF he was committed to it I would take Foran because of his known combination with Snake and DCE. And I might have Semi in there somewhere, but that is it.

Lyon I wouldn't swap for Kate Winslet and I love that woman 😉

Jennings would be a good pickup, but not if it meant losing Shoulders, the wrecking ball or the Turbo.

Mannah is past it and 2016 will be one season too many. If you think he's better than Jake Trbojevic....boy do you have more than a few screws loose.

As for the rest? Peats maybe if he gets a medical clearance, but I still think Parcell and/or Koroisau will prove better.

And I thought Souffs fans were bottom feeders......

 

[Alby]

Manna/Trob close. Mannah experience vs Trb youth. Very close.

Lol! Mannah vs Jake T close? You're an even bigger JAHASH than I thought !

"Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Habib eagle, the BIG JAHASH!"

 

[brad]

Manly 8.00 . Dosntmatta 21.00 . There must be a reason behind that ...

Because @Habib eagle is trolling, pretending to be a Manly fan. And he can't restrain himself. The impulse is too great. He must talk Parra. He must talk up Parra and this Parra/Manly team discussion is his best effort to pretend to like anything Manly. His emotions make him so easily seen through. Check the troll/einstein/dummy spit ratings he's given. The common thread? Addressed to those who attack his love of Parra. You know you've struck the truth he's afraid to admit to himself when you've been troll rated by Habib.

 

[HoldenV8]

I'll give Habib one thing, he's nothing if not stupid....er....persistent

Sorry, I hate it when my fingers click on keys before my brain gets into gear.

At least it gets into gear. There's a site where people just click on keys and no brain is ever engaged. It's called 1eyedeel.

 

[Brookvale2015]

Habib eagle I understand u must be disappointed coming into another season knowing that eels are Likley to miss the 8 must hurt! I mean let's have a look a your star recruits

-Gordon/Gordon who?
-Scott/How old is he?
-Foran/Foran was the best 5/8 in the world
-Jennings/I wonder which pub he will chose down parra way?

 

[Habib eagle]

Some of your threads actually made the great Habib laugh. I'm very grateful that this site has accepted me, & I plan to be more involved in the future, as I'm on the plane to Hawaii atm.

Ps Some of your responses do seem extremely bias.

Anyway, Habib will be on the peninsula next week, Chow amigos.....

 

[midsteyne]

westies always were a pain in the arse,coming over by ferry and filling the corso and esplanade.
they were the brunt of taunting and ridicule even back in the 60s,parramatta couldnt play footy then either,the rocker surfie wars were fun
