[sheridanstand78]

That we have not beaten them in four years . They don't rate us I guess.

 

[Loobs]

Bookies have us as favourites.

No one knows how players and teams will turn up on "the day" .
Look at what happened to the Roosters against the tigers

 

[Chip and Chase]

Yeh I can't believe that. The Eels are half our price to win the premiership, yet we are favourites to beat them this week after both coming off losses. I hope they are right though.

Can you see the odds changing closer to game day ?

 

[court83]

Gotta admit im not overly optimistic about this week. Poor record against eels mixed with a middle of the road manly team.. Will be a close game either way, but i think manly need another top line prop and half to be anywhere near a contender

 

[Bearfax]

If Manly clicks, they'll run away with this one. All depends on cohesion and ball control. This is a better than middle of the road side. Just needs to function as a unit.

 

[maxta]

They must not realise Radradra is out....and he has pretty much been the difference in most of the past few games.

I didn't watch Penrith and Parra on the weekend so have no idea how they played. Given how they finished last season and our recent record against them I would have thought at best we would be even money. How did the great dreamer Jarhead Hayne go on the weekend - is he indeed the messiah ?

They're probably thinking we're due for a win.

It was a case of 2 halves last week . In the first half Parra came out and blew the panthers away and then In the Second half Parra was blown away by the Panthers and each half both teams were very dominant .
As for Hayne I didn't notice he was on the field.

No you're all wrong! Don't you know EVERYONE hates Manly

They killed panfers for 40 minutes.i think they got on the piss at half time.

as per usual a scintillating and totally useless response from you Woodsie....dunno why you bother

 

[eagle40]

Our side has not improved in their eyes, we have lost a controlling 5/8 & replaced him with a rookie. 2016 revisited

It was as @BOZO said pretty much, I think Penrith were more composed they didn't panic at any stage, Maloney and Cleary worked well together, there already seems to be chemistry between them, this will be one of the better halves combinations.

It was a great battle of the forwards, Parra seemed to have their measure but the Riff weren't rattled and finished the stronger, Hayne was well contained. I record most games every round, This was an entertaining game, actually this first round overall is one of the best first rounds of football I've seen for a number of years.

Bring on round two

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

There forwards get tired as the game goes on and they start to stop moving up in defence. Same thing happened with them last year.

They have a great backline though that is capable I’ve getting through outs.

It will be a battle of better forwards vs better backs.

Go Manly
