Woohoo!
Had to wait till 11 am to watch today (ugh).
Boy oh boy... didn't the ref give them a hand just before and after halftime!?! You wouldn't think Manly scored 26 in the first the way we were being strangled at the start of the second.
Parra were so bad eventually the ref gave up. (lol).
what a ridiculous 'shoulder charge' penalty by the ref.
If the MRC are serious then none of the 3 Manly players on report have anything to fear.
Unlike people outside, I just heard a massive squeel of the brakes followed by a hugh smash and crunching of metal!!!
sirens now.... hope everyone is ok. - edit. everyone is ok
I think I saw @Cameron on tv..!

Sorry for your loss
I don't know if I'm typical or atypical but my dislike of the Eels has grown year by year since I first started supporting Manly back in the dark ages. I rate the matches against Parra right up there with grandfinals and state of origin deciders. Beating the Eels comprehensively twice makes 2001 a great year
.Add a grandfinal and a Blues win in the SOO and the world's a wonderful place.
Well, so much for Matterson's "line in the sand and talk is cheap" pre game comments.
He should have drawn it further up the beach so the tide wouldn't wash it away.
(10 weeks banning for his dog shot I reckon)

Let’s all have a chew!
We weee that good. Couple of errors late in the first half up 24 just throwing it around. The style we play will naturally have us completing a little lower. It doesn’t matter as long as those errors ain’t inside our 30. Gee out defence was good last night. Brown didn’t want to take it to the line kept dropping it haha. And Jake just keeps quietly folding guys in half. I cannot remember a more technically complete tackler who has the ability to level blokes with technique. It’s one of my favorite things to watch when we play.
Well it’s even more satisfying the day after ( my Eels best mate finally answered my text message with a “ **** you” response )

Sounds like you p!ssed yourself in your excitement
Sorry to hear of your loss.
How good is that. @Mark from Brisbane I am a little worried that your best mate is a Parra supporter. Very poor judgement mate. Very poor.
Guilty as charged.Sounds like you p!ssed yourself in your excitement

Eels investigation imminent
At least 6 eels players appear to have been to hairdressers in the past week, in a flagrant breach of covid rules.
It is believed that hairdressers were smuggled into the eels’ bubble, with a range of bleaching, dyeing and other hair care products.
When probed after the game a newly coiffed and blond Dylan Brown denied the accusation, “I’m a natural blond, I just let it grow out.”

How bad are the brown brothers Nathan and Dylan? Completely out of form.
Nathan can’t catch and looked very down, no energy. I shudder that there were silvertails wanting him to come to manly.
Dylan has no impact, passes way before the line and is very passive for a half. Great hair though.

The funny story with that is we were put into two seperate junior league teams when we were 8 years old , back then the league used Sydney teams jerseys for the teams , yes I was put in Manly colours and he played in another side , in Parramatta colours.
That’s how we both started as footy fans, that was 1963.
A few random Sunday morning thoughts;
What has Manly got against their ex coaching staff, haven’t done the maths but for and against for Barrett, Arthur, Cartwright would be massive in 2021
Nathan Brown is rubbish, thank god we didn’t get him - 2 dropped balls were hilarious
The King took about $600k off his asking price last night, and how the F did Moses play Origin - Fittler should be pistol whipped for selecting him ahead of Cody Walker
Always great to beat the slime but putting 50 on them is priceless

That’s a massive load to carry for a young guy to carry through life, wearing a Parramatta jersey when you’re 7.

Anyone know why the King is taking their place kicks instead of Moses.

I assume it must be something to do with the back injury he was originally out for the rest of the season with 3 rounds ago.

Gus Gould says Parramatta's woes stem from being a 'manufactured' team.
"They fold under pressure every time. As soon as some team takes it to [them] they get isolated as a team. There's no sense of team, there's no sense of resilience about them, there's no common cause about them," Gould said.
"It's kind of like as soon as they're challenged, they break up, they isolate, and it's every man for themselves – and we saw that tonight again.
"They're not like the top-two teams [the Storm and Panthers ]; the top-two teams are developed teams, they're kids that have come through together, playing together for a long period of time, they've been in the Storm system or the Panthers system, and even South Sydney and the Roosters have more of a culture and more of a feel and a personality and character about their club than what this Parramatta team does at the moment.
"And that's not casting aspersions on individuals; it's just the way it's been crafted and brought together and cobbled together with high-price purchases. It's not always the way to win a premiership."
