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

[ALinda]

Good points.
The challenge may well be mental as much as anything.
Very deflating for fans that we've lost our big gun, and it must have affected the players too. And this after they've come through the toughest run home of all clubs, not to mention every so-called expert saying we are zero chance without Tom.
However I think Des will relish the challenge of raising the players' spirits, so I am looking forward to seeing how we play on Friday.

The challenge may well be mental for the Eels too, thinking Tom's gone, they'll be right, we're deflated and with the experts giving us little chance, all gives them a false sense of security.

I hope their cockiness backfires...

And Gus Gould had us getting the spoon in 11 .

 

[BOZO]

Love ya work (although we did actually finish 6th only 2 years ago, and probably will again...)

Two years ago we finished 6th with the second worse defensive record in the comp .
This years team is a more resilient beast
Its the resilience that makes a difference on how far you will go

Many had us getting the spoon this year
They can all stick their spoon up their arse

 

[BOZO]

Our forwards need to dominate big time if we are to win against the eels

and it looks like Kappow is spreading his wings and is ready to fly !

 

[BOZO]

Api is Happy and sign of confidence is all we need going into the match

Unfortunate that the player on the left chose that exact moment to hoik a golly lol

 

[BOZO]

One day to go and its all systems go ......

"You can tell that when different players have gone to different positions this year, due to our injuries to key players, and yet we still know what we're doing and find a way to win.

"That's a good sign leading into finals, because you'd have to be lucky to go into finals with your perfect, preferred starting 13.

"So it's a good step forward for us this year that in games where we've had to mix positions, we've still been a force when it comes to winning games."

Have a closer look feathered friend

The player on the left is frothing at the mouth

He is all pumped up for a big game 2morrow

Hang your head in shame Mr Geoff Toovey

 

[BOZO]

Hang your head in shame Mr Geoff Toovey

You would think that Tooves would have more belief in us having watched our resilient wins under strength and under adversity this year

 

[mickqld]

Would love nothing more than to see us tilt the slime. How about the slime gets a handful of injuries out this one. That'll send wankfest stadium into depression.

Well there you go, I always thought it was The Band who did that song!
