PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly v Parramatta [Round 10, 2020]

[Luke_m]

Has anyone read the article in the daily telegraph on Albert or have the article???

If so could you please post.

Yeah Mate it’s nothing We don’t already know Basically there's no reserve grade comp so Albert Hopoate might not get a game this year.

 

[40 years an eagle]

The only thing it said about Albert was Johns saying the Dogs should chase him to play FB.

“They need a fullback, there’s two I’ve thought of. Albert Hopoate and the [Panthers’] young winger, [Charlie] Staines, he’s a fullback. "

From the 19, it seems Haumole is the most likely last minute change (for Jack?). I doubt Funa will play unless someone is injured. Waddell, Haumole & Keppie would bring much needed energy from the bench.

Don't shoot the messenger , but just got this sent to me from a Parra supporter who has a man crush on him.......

Yep out. I rate Matteson one of the best back rowers in the game and easily one of Parras best so that is a big out. Hearing Blake Fergusson getting a rest too?

I hope DCE is watching Benji tonight and taking notes. No 7 taking charge.

agree
also des look at tigers
drop brooks and are playing hungry desperate footy with desire for the jersey.

 

[ALinda]

According to his wife, its Marty's 100th Sea Eagles' game tomorrow Surprising no fanfare about it.

Another good reason for a Manly win!

 

[simon64]

I’m still scarred from 82/83

I was at both.

Neither was fun.

Those were the days when you had to get to the ground in the dark and line up.
It was not worth it.

Has made 18 changes in 5 weeks

Even their winger produced a nice little kick into the in goal for one of their tries.

 

[rosco]

Five things Id like to see this week.
Jake not taking a settler one off the ruck on the 4th tackle when we are in the red zone. Garrick kicking at100% after a week of solid practice. Croker, Cust and Levy taking the pressure off DCE by kicking in general play. A try from a kick. Must be only side without one kick try in 10 games. Variations in kick offs especially if behind. Couldn't believe at 18 -4 down with 12 mins to go that we kicked off deep. Can't score without the ball.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

 

[davohan123]

so it now comes to parra tomorrow night.

look if we play anything like we have over the last 3 weeks parra could easily put 30,40 points on us and it be 4 straight defeats with the pressure building on Des.

if our senior players were not embarrassed by last weeks effort then they never will.

if we are close at half time then i give us a real good chance.

i will say us by 7 with DCE field goal down the pittwater road end the decider.

You cant defend for 100 years and not score points. We rarely look capable of scoring points. Resiliant defence is great if you can turn the tide. We dont . The team knows it. Leadership doesnt seem to be abundant .

i dont think these forwards can continue to belt down the door to give the backs opportunities that only tom seems capable of converting

Attack, kicking all ****e
Forwards , defence generally strong. Our forwards are all having a kick now as well. I wonder how the harmony is within the group atm . It looks like a poorly balanced workplace . how long before a burly prop tells million dollar man to have a go and run . Not long i reckon

8 year contract then retirement, just filling in the time really .

DCE in dangerous when he runs taking in the line. Early in his career he was running and opening up the playing field.
Now looks boxed in playing the distribution roll.
Needs a organising half to take the heat off him.
