PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Parramatta v Manly [Round 4, 2020]

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

They were missing Jennings, Blake and Ferguson.

But don’t let the truth get in the way.

The 1st game? Didn't blake come later in the year

 

[40 nil]

Yes Sivo on Garrick is a worry

Last game at Bankwest, Garrick started at fullback with Elliot marking Sivo. This was a mismatch & a disaster. AFB started at left edge, which also didn't go very well.

Gutho v Trbo: Monster clash of the Manly juniors awaits

Former fullbacks thriving with new NRL rules

Here! Something we can all laugh at...

We all know gutho is the 2nd best manly fullback in the comp..

I find it insulting they are even mentioned in the same breath.

 

[Waz13]

Still having nightmares about Sivo absolutely destroying us last year with a hat trick of tries.

Sivo has been Pretty well contained so far in the games I’ve watched. Just don’t kick to him and gang tackle him and dominate him early

 

[Waz13]

They were missing Jennings, Blake and Ferguson.

But don’t let the truth get in the way.

Sorry three outside backs compared to the players we had out. Was it both backrowers and Tom? No comparison

 

[Tomay]

BankWest at night is a tough ask for our team. I hope we go out with the intention of playing a tough style up the middle and try and isolate Paulo with our speed men in the middle. Their halves are also questionable in defence so hopefully our backrowers and Centers can hit some gaps and challenge their decision making.

We can’t afford to spread the ball without earning it through the middle.

 

[Eagle thru 'n' thru]

I'd be bombing Gutho all game, stuff kicking to Ferguson and Sivo on the last.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

They will kick at Jorge all night. To win this we have to absolutely dominate possession and keep they bringing It out of their red zone all night.

 

[Shoe1]

Not sure if thats fair to will hopoate. I know he plays centre but he is a handy fullback

Same with Hiku, he is a very capable fullback out of position at the warriors.

 

[manly al]

Got the makings of a really good contest and looks like good playing conditions as well . Rate Manly "s chances reasonably well , even allowing for the last start loss to them , were never really out of the match except for the closing stages and some questionable ref 's calls . Eels have been going well but Manly are showing good self belief and resolve and should be up to the challenge .

 

[The Who]

So is Ferguson vs Taufua in the air.

Yep. On paper their wingers are far more dangerous than ours. Apart from them we have at least the equal or better in all other positions.
I'm hoping our forwards, and better discipline, will win the match for us.

 

[ricardo]

Parker will chew them up and spit them out. Manly by 12.

 

[Will on the hill]

Since Rd2 when playing with no crowds only 5/16 home teams have won.
Small sample size but it appears home ground advantage is not what it used to be.
Edit: 2/11 Teams playing at their actual home ground have won.

[Mark from Brisbane]

This will go either of two ways

A galloping win today the Sea Eagles.

or

A similar victory to the Eels.

I do not see it as being a “ grind” or a close game.

It will also be a game of two halves.

The team that scores the most points will probably win the game

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Hilarious you two my point really is I think it won’t be a grind , think either side will get away from the other and put plenty of points on.
