Pre-Game Manly v Eels [Round 22, 2021]

[Brookie Bob]

Some teams can only do well at the expense of other (specific) teams - it appears that Parramatta can usually only do well when it comes specifically at Manly's expense in some way. I know it sounds a little bit tin hat - but it does seem like that. A pox on their village.

Melbourne on the other hand - their success seems to come at the expense of all other teams and the NRL in general. And the NRL (admin) is usually complicit in this. Though I will admit that they have coped post-wrestlemania better than most. I wish all our players had their......'sneaky street smarts' (ability to con referees non stop). They take 'gamesmanship' to a new level.

I hope we play just as 'smart' tonight, and expose the Eels for the frauds / flat-track bullies they are. If we can at least match their forwards, Tom & Co will tear Parra a new one.

Please no injuries tonight - Toff back next week, Keppie soon (?), Paseka after that - I'd love to see us do a serious run in the finals.

I would even go a step further Bozo. Loyalty is a two way street, but really it is secondary to the needs of both parties. In the end both sides have to look at the business aspects because it is a business for both parties. The club can only afford so much for the players they sign and must always have an eye on its future. The player also looks at what he or she is worth based on the market and they also have to look to their future. Foran, like Des, made business decisions when they left, and that is their right. They have to have an eye on their future, just as the club does. I see nothing wrong in that decision making

He wanted to get selected for country, because he was down the pecking order in Sydney halfbacks. Arko figured a good performance in the city-country game would get him into the frame for the kangaroos.

Longneck and a bacon sandwich would swing it for me.

I have a bad feeiing about tonight’s game….dodgy ref decisions and another massive penalty count against us!

just sayin’

hope I am wrong!

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Provided we a fair go tonight we can win. We were robbed at BankWest against Parra last year I hope it doesn’t happen again.

 

[Snake]

I smell a Brad Arthur ambush tonight and a 20 point hiding. Joey Lussick to carve us up if we are not careful.
Hope I'm wrong but we have been sloppy the last few weeks imo. the storm were there for the taking last week yet we had no knock out drops and plenty of passengers.

Hopefully a thrashing will wake us up for the finals.

nfi...great insight mate...really great. You really know your footy.
