Pre-Game Manly V Eels [Round 4, 2025]

[Mark from Brisbane]

Oh and yes I’d forgotten , we have a game this weekend.

 

[Seagles68]

Can you imagine the atmosphere if the Captain “ dogs it”, they’ll lynch him

Tom might get in first. I just don't think he would take it. BUT I do think DCE has enough respect for the players (at least I hope so) not to give it his all.

MIGOTY - how badly does Manly need a good win this week!
Lucky for us it's a home game v worst team in the comp

Which means = danger game

 

[Red Baron]

Nervous about this one. Parra would love to capitalise on the DCE fiasco.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

So , we do actually have a game this weekend , who’Da thought

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Back to the footy time to focus. I hope our players do. If so they should account for the Eels however we have seen what we do against underdogs in the past we fail to show up. Lets hope we don't play the stupid early shift stuff like we did against the Warriors. You need to earn ascendency and field position. We got lucky last week as the Raiders lack of self discipline caused hem to implode in the latter part of the first half. I expect the Eels will roll their sleeves up and get into the grind. Come on boys we need this win!

Can you imagine the press feeding frenzy if we get hammered.

Wonder if the refs are onside with Fox / Nein

If so , brace yourself.

They're virtually ln the same situation with Dylan Brown. The exception being, Parra fans want Brown relased NOW!!.

 

[DanielTurbo888]

I'm expecting another big win as we are running red hot at home.

I can't be there 🙁 but it will be highly interesting. Manly are red hot favourites, but Silvertail fans recall last year's game v Tigers!
I'm pretty sure Manly win, but DCE's tv show has really put the pressure on.
Anything less than a strong win will create a media firestorm around the club (even more than currently!)

 

[JBW]

Parra paying $6.05 on Sports Bet. The bookies clearly haven't seen the playbook when the Manly Club goes into implosion mode.

But seriously, this a a 30 point plus victory if the team is fair dinkum. Only time will tell..

 

[Once Was Brissie Kid]

Manly bt Cows 42-12 @ Brookie
Manly bt Canb 40-12 @ Brookie

Fun fact - Manly @ Brookie have never scored 40+ three games in a row.

If DCE “ dogs it” , and we lose by a big margin I think I’ll turn my phone off for a week.

It would be gladiatorial on here , and the media , well they’d be pumping out stories as fast as their AI Bots can write them , it would be a feeding frenzy.

Sh*t., I forgot there was a game of football this weekend…

Feels so much like the off-season for some reason…

Feels more like the end of 2011 season (but no premiership), 1st half of the 2015 season and the end of 2023 season.

Guess it's going to have to be 50+

 

[BOZO]

The deplorable Eels are running dead last on the ladder
Because they a coached by a unproven rookie coach and are run by a boofhead board
The have no spine , no leader and no playmaker
And they keep losing Because they do not know how to win

Sportsbet.....
Manly $1.13 V Doesn't matter $6.05
Final Score .....
Manly 50 V Doesn't matter 10

 

[BOZO]

Let’s talk football
A little rain tomorrow
But the wind at over 40km/h
Hopefully the team turn up and don’t let the DCE get to them 🦅

The Weather wont save the eels
I hope the eels fans turn up with their umbrellas
Because it will be raining Manly tries all day
