Game Day: Manly v Eels [Round 3, 2023]

[Tragic Eagle]

This will be a tough game particularly if our pack does not dominate. If our pack dominates and we play with plenty of possession Moses will be quiet. Hard to have six again calls made against you when you are in possession. If it is close I don't expect we will get the rub of the green.

 

[JakeyB789]

Heard Lawton could come into the 17 which I hope is the case. He made a good impact in his first game for us against Parra in that famous win at Wankbest a couple years back and scored a try running a nice line off Schuey. Could definitely offer more than Burbo in that bench spot by giving Croker a spell, or coming in on the edge or even the middle in a Walker-like role to offer something a little different

No team I rather beat than these losers so hopefully we are up for it after the bye, Parra will be desperate but if all goes to plan surely we can get up

 

[Budgie]

Never confident against the Eels because it’s always the most important win of the season, unless it’s a finals game.
So fingers crossed.
Go Manly!

Agree. The big fellas have to dominate coz I hate to say it but their backs can look pretty slick if they have all the ball. I'm sure they will be trying to put plenty of pressure on Shu as well. Cut his time down and see if he panics. I'd rather see him just hold it and run hard at them if they do and not run around in circles or throw a low % pass. But if the forwards can have them going backwards, he'll be fine.

Sounds good. With all due respects to Burbo, fingers crossed for Lawton.

It's going to be a hot night and from memory the eels generally don't handle the heat well. Hoping our 'boot camp' in Dec pays off for us tonight.

The eels will be desperate and we'll get no favours. If it's tight in the end, I'd love to see DCE win the fight against Moses!

Can't wait to get there. Go Manly!!!

 

[mickqld]

Yeah can't see it really. The Gee appointment is the killer. We'll get hammered with penalties , 6 agains and obvious corrupt decisions which Analsley will do his usual excuse laden jabber fest on.. NRL can't have their golden west child 0-3. Scumatta by 12.

 

[Woodsie]

Congrats to Parker for his 100th ... you have earnt every one of them ..

Manly by 12 ... Rip in Lads ...

Who would you allow a 10 minute stint on the sidelines to knock Moses out?

Dylan Brown?

Hi guys

Just using some free wifi in a bar in Dunedin , looks like they’ll have it live on the casino bar on the ship , so I won’t miss the game but won’t be conversing online as I haven’t paid for the ship wifi ( $20 a day they can go jump ).

Tough game

Go Manly

 

[ManlyTragic]

I think that the ref / bunker will decide this one!

 

[Andrew..]

I think we have a top 4 team with something too prove and tonight we will make the comp sit up and take notice.

Mark,

You must be The Silvertails most dedicated SKIer, always fishing/caravanning and now becoming a gentleman cruiser of the high seas.

Don’t leave the little buggers a cent

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

It's hot! 36 out west currently, a good thing our game isn't till 8pm and hopefully a cooling sea breeze.

 

[Woodsie]

Okay .... I'm in a fighting mood ... I just checked my tips ... and to my horror and disgust ... 20% of Silvertailers have tipped Parra to win ...

Please, please tell me this is some sort of demented and mis-guided reverse psychology plan ... or has my safe place on Silvertails been invaded by body snatchers ...

What are you thinking ...

Do what's best for the team, Mark. Go somewhere else and don't watch it.
