Other Games [Round 1, 2023]

[Uk eagle]

Based on what we saw of Gordon in the trials I would have loved to see him in the 17 this year

Pretty certain he'll get his chance this year. I'll be happy if he's in there playing his best footy come finals time

Parramatta lost in GP

enjoyable Thursday night

how good to have footy back

The only time I can say the words "hoping for the storm" is if we're in drought. Or if they need to beat another team to let us into a final of course.

It's a generational thing. I cannot support Parramatta against ANYONE. And they lost! Great start to the season!!

 

[The Royal Soup]

All the calls all game and parra srill
couldn’t win hahahha

suck **** parra!!!

 

[The Wheel]

I foolishly chose Parra due to home ground advantage only in the tipping comp I am in, ignored the Bellamy never looses round 1 rule.

[Will on the hill]

Hopgood looks amazing for a rookie.
55 tackles 21 hitups 6 offloads.

Funny but I’ve picked the Storm to miss the 8 ( brave I know ) but I picked them to win this game.

Purely based on history.

Anyone else think Gutho's lost a bit of pace?
Could be a bit like Foz, threw himself at every opportunity and every opposition player for so many years and is starting to run out of gas.

The weight of expectation from Parra fans.

Lyon 8-64.
Over 50 poles in India.

Over 50 poles in India.

Only 75 run lead .... and no confidence we can win.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

The Storm/Eels game shows what Manly is going to have to contend with as the year goes on. Plenty of errors and key players missing yet both sides pretty much stayed focussed and energetic in defence for the duration.
Manly can beat them both but maintaining a consistent defence will be our biggest challenge I suspect.

India could still win by 50!!

The ruck area against quality dummy halves could be very problematic.

Can see lowest test score in history coming up.

 

[Eagle 1]

Am I missing something here, both teams looked pretty flat in attack to me, and at times the backs seemed like lumbering forwards. Just think if either team had a Shuster, Koala, Weeks, Turbo combo operating midway into both halves, probably looking to at least double the score if not more.

 

[Eagle 1]

Dumbest play of the night, Sevo kicking an attempted grubber for himself in the in goal area.....on the first tackle !!, it went dead... with only minutes left to play.

 

[danny-boy]

lol@parra….ending the season getting thumped in the grand final and starting the season losing in golden point.

Dumbest play of the night indeed, but pretty much also the most enjoyable one!
