Game Day: Manly V Eels [Round 4, 2025]

[mickqld]

Parra gets a sniff here then we'll struggle to win this. We must kick them out of it. Dominate field position.

 

[globaleagle]

Soooo

what's that thing called...

Train and trial contract for TT then??

(lol)

 

[DieHardManlyFan]

we have completly gone to sleep and MIA

Happened the second Tom got his injury. He is our attacking force, unfortunately his body just keeps letting him down

 

[mickqld]

Can't believe I'm saying this but hopefully in the 2nd half, Turbo will be getting his injury seen to on the bench and he won't be out there effing up the attack.....

He was "OK" until the injury hobbled him. After that he became a liability.

He was injured before it started. Clearly should not have played today. Rediculous considering we've got Storm next week.

 

[God]

Given how much Toms been paid and not played over the last few years or played half arsed as he's injured his next contract should only be for a pie , $1 worth of red frogs and a bottle of coke zero if he continues with us each game, maybe a bonus hotdog 🌭 if he can string more than 3 games together.

Thankfully their best kicker is on the sidelines.

 

[JBW]

I'm expecting it to open up with the wind at our back. It was a very controlled first 40 running into the wind.

Its just sad watching Turbo. In 2021 we thought we'd be seeing one of our greats for years to come. Unfortunately, we are seeing a liability. One top game, injury, lay off, another good game, injury, repeat over and over.

Expecting our right edge to be much more prominent down wind. And like last week. We look better when Jazz goes off and Jake S comes on.

Wait and see what happens, Tom is clearly not 100% but if there's no serious injury concern I'd rather have him out there at 70% than shifting Burbo to the centres

 

[Kalvin]

Worst 5 mins from Houlome I’ve ever seen. 2 repeat sets and doesn’t dive on a ball.

He looks injured

 

[BOZO]

12 nil and should see more points from us in the second half against this substandard eels team
Sadly Toms limping got worse the longer the game went on
I do not understand Seibolds reasoning for leaving him on the field ?
What is his logic ?

 

[bob dylan]

Saab is looking strong with every tackle, feel like he is using his speed into contact.

He is a highly improved player.

Seems much stronger.

 

[HoldenV8]

He was injured before it started. Clearly should not have played today. Rediculous considering we've got Storm next week.

Agreed. I said OK in that it wasn't stuffing things up. We'd still managed to get that 12–0 lead.

The attack only started stuffing up once he could barely raise a gallop. Truth be told Seibold should have hooked him 20 minutes in at worst.

 

[BOZO]

Wait and see what happens, Tom is clearly not 100% but if there's no serious injury concern I'd rather have him out there at 70% than shifting Burbo to the centres

He looks worse than 70 % . He looks very restricted .

 

[Heckenberg]

Turbo just don't return second half
He needs weeks off to recover
Lehi to 1
We really should of given turbo this week off
12-0 with how we are playing will take that
Happy with anywin today

He’s getting a week off to recover after every game nowadays. Bloke needs to retire

 

[davohan123]

Rain very heavy now on beaches
Going to be a slug festival this coming half

 

[Hertera]

Wait and see what happens, Tom is clearly not 100% but if there's no serious injury concern I'd rather have him out there at 70% than shifting Burbo to the centres

If that was him at 70% that's a hard disagree from me.

 

[davohan123]

You are right
I agree just trying to see some positives with Tom

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Tommy Tissue

I think he’s buggered.

Sadly , don’t think we’ll ever see him right again.

 

[bob dylan]

I think one more try will be a bridge too far for their attack.

I doubt they can score 3 tries but 4 would be impossible.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Pretty ordinary first half, but we're in front by 12, which is the main thing. Eels' offloads are already troubling us, and that will only get worse if we start getting tired and slipping off tackles.

Sadly, Tommy T reminded me of this guy in the first half:
