PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Parramatta v Manly [Round 25, 2019]

[Shoe1]

I might put Garrick at fullback, Elliott to centre, suli to wing.

Elliott was ok at the back but I was more impressed when he played centre.

Garrick is fast and good under the high ball.

Boyle was on Instagram eating with a knife and fork.

That alone probably makes him more advanced than most Eels players.

We can do this and We'll win this.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Key man for Manly - Api Koroisau.
In the various team photos i've seen over the past couple of months, I haven't noticed that infectious smile of Api's. I suspect that getting told he was free to move on was a bit of a blow for him, despite hopefully getting a good deal eventually with Penrith. Maybe his fantastic enthusiasm and irrepressible nature have been affected by this and inhibited his form to some extent?
However now is the time we need him to stand up, he has the ability to really make a difference, in combination with Manase, so I hope he has his best game of the year.

AFB
We have plenty of belief in this team . We have done it before without key players and we can do it again

Brad Parker Ten news
The loss of Trubo will only add to our resilience

Great minds?

 

[BOZO]

Our Sea eagles will be entering a war zone with every team we combat against .

Every battle against the enemy from now on will be a win at all costs with warfare and bloodshed

Take it away Winston ......

“Attitude is a little thing that makes a BIG difference.

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.

“If you're going through hell, keep going.”

Go the mighty Sea eagles !!!

Woohoo, keen to see Keppie on debut!

Will be interesting to see how the team begins to get culled as the week progresses to get an insight on what our final 17 will truly look like

 

[tookey]

Playing with 16 against 17 as Perrett will get about 5 minutes He was gassed after 5 minutes in the residents game a few months ago and was hauled off

 

[HappilyManly]

Interesting Keppie and Lloyd 🙄

Lets Go to Top 4 Manly

 

[lsz]

Pardon my ignorance but what is the background with Keppie?

 

[Paw93]

Big opportunity for Keppie to make an impact off the bench, especially against his old team. Also likely to be Perrett's last shot at first grade. But this is probably the biggest opportunity for Waddell. With Jack and Thommo injured, he finally has a shot to start in the back row. Hoping he shows some of that strength and footwork that we saw in an U-20s highlights video.

 

[lsz]

He played in the 2017 u20s losing Eels team against our boys.

Aussie schoolboy.

Front row?

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Des has got to give Lloyd Perrett a decent shot in this game. Lloyd’s Canterbury Cup stats are looking good this season

Sean’s stats are not as good so I’m just hoping for him to run hard, tackle hard and not make many errors. Doing that will help us a lot

 

[HappilyManly]

Pardon my ignorance but what is the background with Keppie?

Big white bopper 🙂

The video says 2010 but don't let that fool you, the Bankwest match highlights have already been uploaded by the NRL. https://twitter.com/nrl/status/1108473288030773248 The Eels throw a 5m forward pass to get a game saving try and no one cares cos its Manly.

Shayne Hayne...."yeah all good,try"
