Game Day: Parramatta v Manly [Round 25, 2019]

[Brissie Kid]

Tackled eel flaps about like a mullet on dry land. Penalty Parra. Repeat. Repeat. Rinse. Repeat. Manly finish 6th place.

Some might say you’re easily pleased.

Not much riding on this game. It's all about setting up for a good performance at Brookie next week. If we regain some of the self belief we lost last week and suffer no more injuries, job done.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I hope we don’t see the same refereeing performance when the eels robbed the warriors.

Been out of internet range for 3-4 days , now at the Barkley Homestead on the Tablelands Hwy about 240km from QLD.

Sat dish locked on, its ****ing hot so the air conditioning is on, beers cold in the fridge and bring on 5.30pm ( NT time).

Parra at Wankfest hahaha. The refs will hear nothing but the westie scum booing and the whistle going at every opportunity to the slime. Guaranteed a farce of epic proportions tonight.

We've lost plenty of penalty counts this season away from home, and won the game.

Newcastle, Sharks, Cowboys, Storm and Canberra. Lost every penalty count but still got the chocolates.

They are a resilient bunch, so let's hope they can win in spite of the refs best efforts.

I think we will lose and not because of us. Parra have a habit of promising sooooooo much , and well deliver sweet FA. Smashing us in the last round , getting everyone revved up, instill hope and then bundle out in straight sets is the Parra script. Smash us, party like its october , get smashed by some also ran they towel up every week , get on the goon and be haedline news on mad Tuesday

Just unlucky to be in the way of the trainwreck

Haven’t seen less than 20 degrees since June.

I just got so sick of the heat. Holidays and winter north of the tweed only .

If I ever get to retire I will do the same.. Look forward to reading your book on where to go 🙂

 

[Woodsie]

Surprised the bookies have us at $2.40 outsiders for this game. Para at $1.55

They usually know something ...

I also find my underwear to be emotionally juvinile and fickle ....

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Seriously , Who ever does not play every game with the commitment and desire to win may as well stay at home and masturbate

You learnt the hard way Boze?

Still got my lucky jox from the 2008 GF. Thinking of framing them below a 2008 jersey. They have not been wearable for some time now, they are covered with Beaver stains.

Maybe we should burn them in solidarity , on second thoughts mine should not get too close to naked flame again. Im sick of moving states

 

[Will on the hill]

Good call.
I just looked at the 2 packs and the starting sides are relatively even in terms of weight. They are slightly taller.

Bench wise, they have 4 forwards (Taka can play anywhere) and we are carrying Fainu so they probably have us there.

(disclaimer - we have Marty and he's the strongest in the NRL 😉)

Would be Interesting to compare mins played per forward but that's getting too in depth for me.

Thinking it'll come down to Des and his interchange use and the way we can manipulate the ruck speed with offloads and players supporting up the middle.

I agree the Eels have bigger backs but this is where Cherry needs to take them out of the game with his kicking. Over the sideline all night....don't let them start their sets.

Excited. I reckon we will know early if we are up for this one and if we are, we can break there spirit with the right game plan.

Spot on with the kicking game. Chez and Walker need to pin them in the corners and let our defense do the talking.

Just looking forward to the game

Last week was the only time this year I can remember us not being in the game - can not see it happening two weeks in a row
