PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Eels v Manly [Round 11, 2021]

[Will on the hill]

Need to go left all night, rookie Arthur , Waqa Blake and Ferguson are all capable of defensive errors, all of them together on Toms preferred side should lead to a heap of points.

 

[Kevinward777]

Only a guess but maybe the club was suggesting he would come back early anticipating some suspension would be given to him due to his court case.

If he was seen as fit some of the suspension would have been eaten up whilst he was still injured.

If he was seen as still injured they may have given a more lengthy suspension so he actually missed some games.

Clever Fella.

 

[Kevinward777]

Wouldn't mind if they were out a bit longer. Don't want Des to be tempted

Complaining for complaining's sake - it's how we roll on here.

How is that complaining. I like our current 17. I want it to stay that way.

Sorry @KaZa - I was referring to all the complaining about the physio getting the injury returns wrong. I agree with your post.

Ahh right. All good then lol. I just know Des likes his experienced players. Siro coming back makes me think Guacamole benched or dropped. Hope I'm wrong.

I'm concerned also - the team is going great.

There is no way Olakau’atu will get dropped.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I am concerned that they will get a run of repeat sets and we will get gassed early. I hope not.

 

[Waz13]

Could the side change or is Croker and Cust going to play the full 80 mins , Cust may need a rest with Schuster moving to 5/8 , maybe the way to go

Croker will play 80 and tbh the way he’s been playing, he should play 80.

 

[Ryan]

I'll stop. I'm just stinging for my favourite players to return, and the goal posts keep moving , that's all.

Of course looking at the teams with a manly bias but honestly we should go ok against that parra side.

I honestly feel we are potentially a better side.

Tom obviously
Sivo is a beast but Saab should have height and spped on him
centre pair are pretty even i think.
Cade cust just on experience.
Moses is hot at the moment but does go missing in big games. This is where DCE usually comes good.
Paseka is just getting better and Better. RCG is an excellent prop but think Paseka coukd shard it.
Mahoney is a better rake.
Again close but if Marty brings his A game hes better.
Big Hamole is a future star.
Matterson is a gun but The schue has more bullets in his magazine.
Jake on current form has the money on Poo Brown version 2.

Her majesty Liz tips Manly by 28. The Corgies are not so sure.

The day when Manly ended the Eels premiership window. The 1986 premiers and the soon to be crowned 1987 premiers says it all. The start of 30 years of misery!

How good was Cliffy, if he was playing in this era with his skill he would be carving it up!

Don't stop mate - it's a forum FFS - airing our different views is what makes it interesting.

I can get annoyed with the same thing myself.

Edit - and I'm just a numbnut anyway. Haha - My posts just continue piling up in the trash talk thread.

Mahoney is the danger man, stop him and we go close to winning

Meh we’ll put 50 on them too.

Thank you mate - but in this instance, I believe you may be wrong.

I just hope saddler doesn’t lose his **** and we aren’t one man down at some point.
