Geez mate, I'm nowhere near finished basking in the 'after-glow' of thumping the broncos by a record margin to start thinking about those parra dirtbags!

 

[Clint]

Go Manly!

 

[BOZO]

The eels are a difference beast to the buckling broncos

The Eels will be more of challenge for us
We have been building confidence and cohesion and we should be up for it and for the them

 

[Sheikheagle]

This will be our first big litmus test since returning to form. Whilst not in the class of Storm and Penrith the squeels are the next in line. A win against them next week gives us plenty of reason to feel excited about our prospects this season. Another day game so happy days.

[The Who]

I think the Worriers might just surprise Doesn'tmatta tomorrow.

 

[Remy]

Biggest game of the year for us. What a way to set up a huge rivalry match. A nice long turnaround to get prepared for it. Even though we lost against Penrith two weeks ago we showed we have the ability to threaten these top teams. Now it's up to us to show that we can take down a top team. Show that we are a genuine premiership threat and not just flaunting with this easy draw we've been grabbing our wins with.

 

[Stewbojevic]

If we win this, some teams will be getting nervous up top.

 

[Woodsie]

Of all games that I love to win ... it is against these filth ...

On current form ... I think we have got'em !

 

[eaglebuzz]

If we play our best I think it is better than their best, but the game is at Bankwest and they're pretty good there.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Ladder wise we have played 4 of the 6 teams above us and 4 (Dragons, Rorters, Panthers & Souths) of them touched us up on the scoreboard.

We had a Despicable-selected team when 'touched up' by Illawarra, Easts and Souffs.
We put up a credible performance against The 'Riff, the best team in the comp.
It's ironic that injuries have gifted us a better team than DESpicable's chosen 17.

A big chance to beat one of top four teams, the second time around against the Panthers we were good.

Agree on the selections, the impact Harper, Sipley, Schuster and Guaca are having has been fantastic.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

There’s 3 games I just love winning every year.

Donkeys ( to stick it up my neighbours ).

Storm ( because they are a cheating mob of ****s ).

Squeals ( because my very best mate is a fan ).

Come on down Manly Sea Eagles.

 

[Waz13]

I despise this team more than any team in the comp. anything but a strong victory will be unacceptable! We will beat Parra next Sunday. I have no doubt!

I haven’t looked forward to a game as much as this one in years. I can’t stand them. I want us to destroy them. Annihilate them. Break out the fava beans and a nice Chianti.
