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

[madmax]

Paseka missing is huge
Parras forwards aren't great, so if we lay the platform the strike power should get it done.

My thing to watch is how Jake handles the emotions/ week.

Agree….watching his interview there was a hint of anger at DCE. Called him Cherry-Evans during the interview instead of Chez as he usually does. Said he doesn't care where DCE goes……his main concern is Manly not DCE!

 

[ManlyTragic]

I know there’s a few on here that don’t like him but I’d be bringing Lodge back into the fold as soon as he’s fit.

The loss of Paseka will really hurt until we have another decent Prop.

Sipley is a bit “ how’s your father “ , occasionally he’s good , mostly average , sometimes bog average.

And the current replacement , AoA sadly is similar.

I’d prefer we blood some youth and continue to grow for the future…

Just sayin’

I didn’t think that… I got the impression that he was saying that players do what they want to do but personally he was born and bred Manly

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.

well that's still out of the question, there was a game in between those that we lost, and didn't score 40+

Yeah , but who , our forward stocks aren’t exactly world class

 

[bob dylan]

120m averaging this year and 94% tackle.

I've seen worse.

Soft as butter generally.

Give me Taukeiaho any day.

It wasn't at Brooky though.

 

[Ned]

It wasn't at Brooky though.

ah ok, that is true

 

[Wombat64]

Our season will look very interesting if we lose this one..... the next few games

Round 5: Storm
Round 6: Cronulla
Round 7: Dragons
Round 8: Panthers
Round 9: Bye
Round 10: Cronulla

We don't normally do well against the Dragon so we'll know whether the team has a real chance after ......

Yes - we have to win this one.

I just think he needs someone in his ear to fire him up. Brownie gets him going when he comes on and I reckon TKO can do the same thing.

 

[Seagles68]

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 🦅

Wet and slippery - how are those hammies feeling Tom????

Jumping on the back of this did anybody watch Laifai in jersey Flegg? Only came on with about 20 minutes or so left in the game but his hit ups were unreal. Looks hard to put down just needs to develop an offload, Clearly a top talent for the future of our pack. Probably needs to work on his fitness before he is a chance to play Reggie’s though, hopefully improves throughout the season

Agreed, but he is outside the top 30, so cannot come in until round 11.

Ah , bugger

 

[Sheikheagle]

Jack Williams out for the slime.
