Pre-Game Manly v Penrith [Round 24, 2023]

[Ryan]

I hope there isn’t as many gaps in our defensive line as there is in this team list…..😉

Imagine how slow our middles are going to be with that many plodders listed !! It's going to be a bloodbath in and around the ruck up the guts, and Penrith are the team that take advantage of that **** the most. WAYYYYY too immobile, overweight, slow, lethargic, lazy there.

Add to that slow-as-old-bones Vaega on the edges and we are ****ed. He makes Jorge Taufua last few years look Usain Bolt like.

Bit harsh on Ray Ray, he went ok against the chooks, no way I'd be dropping him. Also, if we were at full strength we'd be right in this.

That's just deluded man. At full strength, we'd be right in this. Oooof. I'm guess then you've bought into the Premiership window, premiership team crap, because if you say we are comparable to The Panthers, that's what you're saying.

In that case, I'm sorry mate, you're as deluded as them haha.

With Paseka and Lodge powering runs up the middle, and with Turbo, Schuster and DCE feeding off it, not saying we'd win but would be an intriguing contest all the same, not the forlorn game that it is now.

I wouldn't touch that.
It isn't what you think it is.

Just ask The Royal Soup, about our last win 🤷‍♂️

Dude, they are STREETS ahead of us, and it's not even close. They could be half strength, and we could be full strength, and they'd still flog us.

You don't get it. We are probably the slowest team in the NRL, and that's not where the game is at. Having the game speed up like it has , has rooted us..

These lumbering forwards are a thing of the past, and we are stock piling them.

Imagine a running race of:
Condon, Jake, Aloiai, Tuilagi, Boyle, Schuster, Woods, Lodge, Croker, Sipley, Olakau'atu - it would actually be very funny to watch (comedic). These big framed , slow as barge boat players trying to eek out 100 metres haha.

The games moved past this.

Want to back that up? $100 on it? We can PayPal the winnings. Deal.or no deal? It'll make the game interesting and watchable at least...and forget the 8....I'll give you evens...if Manly win at all.

 

[ManEagle]

Jesus it's all Doom and gloom for this match, can't say I disagree, still going to watch and yell for them but maybe with one eye closed.

We're almost there fans,

Last half of footy we played against them it was 12-12!

(best not to look at much previous to that).

Sea Eagles embrace big opportunity against Panthers

It's the most important home game of the season for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles when they tackle premiers Penrith Panthers at 4 Pines Park this Thursday night.

Hey, not disputing you're observations Ryan. Just saying, if Manly had a full strength side and with 4 rounds to go. Penrith are now preoccupied with thoughts of finals footy and may want to start to think on resting players. We probably would have more to play for than them, as we would of been a chance of grabbing 8th. Any ways, it's all pie in the sky musings by a frustrated Manly supporter..lol.

For Manly to win, the scoreline would have to be 1 - 0 with a field goal to DCE, who is, after all best in the NRL!

They know they're finishing 1 or 2, so they'll be wanting to avoid injuries, thoughts turning to finals, and contracts, and possibly new teams, and fanta - should always think of delicious fanta...

then bang! Manly win! woohoo

After a 40/20, we're apparently good at that too

Almost full strength. Two players are unavailable: Tago & Lenui

Meanwhile, the Sea Eagles are missing six players: Turbo (best player), Paseka, Aloiai & Lodge (three best props),Tuipulotu & Lawton.

I'd put Keppie, Fainu, Bullemor (if you consider any of them a prop) in front of Aloiai.
Lodge has been here 2 seconds, you can't really place him top 3.
Paseka absolutely, he came along leaps and bounds.
