I love these two talented Tail feathers
Two of my favourite Eagles

What is the meaning behind Tail feathers?
It means a strong flight feather of a bird's tail.
And both these Eagles are proven strong performers

LOLOLOL Weekes at fullback Aloiai, Woods retained and Fainu dropped. That'll do me. I won't be watching this upcoming fiasco.

Storm $1.01 Manly $10000.01

And that was BEFORE our team sheet came out this evening.

 

[Seagles68]

It could be a miserable next few days - cricket tonight, Blues tomorrow and Storm on Saturday. I might go hide for a week.

I think we can do the cricket, I'm a Qlder so as Meatloaf said "2 outta 3(wins) ain't bad"

I'd take a cricket win. It hurts more to lose to the Poms.

At this point I'll take 1 win.

I cried a little when I saw the team sheet, Woods, Aloiai and Weekes named doesn't give me a lot of confidence.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Australia ✅

Blues ?????

Manly “ no ****ing chance “

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Looks like our coach has run out of ideas.

Maybe. Although maybe he has a plan to improve the team over time?
As opposed to fans who (quite naturally) are impatient, and often just want to instantly sack some players and bring in some reserve graders.
Just to see how they go. Just in case one might go well.
Which is an idea, granted, but doesn't appeal to me as a very well thought out idea. More like roll up roll up, spin the wheel, and see if you get lucky!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

By the way, I expect Manly to beat Storm.

How does the buying of Aaron Woods and that Johns kid improve the team over time?

I want what he's having

Lol, if you look back to the threads before the raiders game you'll see pretty much identical despair posts. Yet we thrashed them. Manly is a Jeckyll and Hyde currently, so don't blink or might miss Dr Jeckyll!

 

[Eagle 1]

A lot of doom and gloom on here, but a team with Turbo and DCE can't be easily written off. The Samuela out is completely mystifying, maybe Sieb's just easing him back a bit, before the business end of the season. Melb have 3 playing Origin, Munster or White out would be handy.

I don't know. How does the buying of Aaron Woods and the Johns kid improve Manly over time?
(or was that just a rhetorical question?)

The business end? Hahaha. Our players will be off in Thailand or Bali while 8 other teams are still playing.

I agree wholeheartedly about Samuela only 19. No point burning him out.
