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

[The better Robbo]

Angus Crichton out for a few weeks for Roosters. This helps our top 4 chances

**** I hope not , my very best mate is a Squeal and just as he gave it to me earlier on the year I’ve been giving it back to him over the last month.

I’ll have to find a rock to hide under if they beat us !!

Can feel it coming. I was confident last night but we shattered that with our own hands. Now the nrl Westie darlings are struggling I can see disaster looming and it's got a whistle and a bunker attached.

 

[mickqld]

As much as I admire Parker for being a wholehearted player I think it's time we gave him a rest and see if Suli can make us an even better team. Suli has potential and needs an opportunity before finals time to show if he is a First Grade centre.
With the injury to Tent it opens the door for SirLoin to transition into a prop.
I'm not a Walker fan but he didn't play too badly tonight. However, isn't he there to be our 'spark' from the bench? I'd much prefer to see The Lawman take his spot and get more game time.

Yes we need to step it up. Parker just doesn't offer anything in attack. Gets pummelled easily and is good for a couple of dropped balls a game. Time to give Suli a shot to see if we can up the tempo out that side. His defense last night was poor too so no reason now not to try a change.

What's the bet we get Cummins For this match. Plus we be like last night no ball , penalties and six agains

 

[mickqld]

Think we'll get moved to Townsville for this one

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

50% crowds this weekend for games at nrl matches

 

[Rafferty]

Wouldn’t be at all surprised, I just looked up our record under cumstain 45% win rate, only good thing is the slime don’t fair much better @ 47%

 

[mickqld]

100% capacity for Townsville plus the Cows have the 530pm home game next Sat.

100% capacity for Townsville plus the Cows have the 530pm home game next Sat.

Plus surface has not been used recently compared to Suncorp and gold coast

 

[davohan123]

I will take any win even a 1 point win next weekend.

Melbourne had 4 out against us last night but found a way to win.

MIGOTY next weekend. Win we go level with the eels and one game behind easts assuming they win next weekend.

Lose we go 2 game behind parra and easts .

I know it's stating the obvious but we just have to find a way to win

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Eels are a team that go great when most of their players are putting in. They don’t boast the strike players that the other top teams in the comp have which is why they struggle in the finals

 

[Yaz Eagle]

Wonder if Keppie needs to isolate when he returns to QLD - if so he will only be available for the Dogs. I think we can beat the Eels as Dessie will rark the team up after the Storm loss and build them up. Remember the comp is won in 8 weeks and not in round 22.

 

[Dinga7]

Des Loves Parker he want drop him no matter what the only way changes are happening will be via injury or suspension.

 

[Waz13]

On one hand I want to see Suli get a run but on the other consistency in this team is really important right now. Especially with losing Paseka and Sips. It’s a tough one. I’m going with Parker this weekend and Suli on the bench with Siro, Lawman and Walker. Maybe Suli gets a run our wide at sone point or used as a big body in the middle. Huge game either way but we should win comfortably.

 

[Bearfax]

Manly will be without Paseka and Sipley it seems but if they play up to standard they should beat the Eels by at least 20

What's up with Sipley, on Paseka at the presser Des said Paseka probably 2 weeks.

What's up with Sipley, on Paseka at the presser Des said Paseka probably 2 weeks.

Sipley on report and its suggested he may get two matches. May not. We'll have to wait to see.
