looks like a loss 4 the sea eagles. GO PARRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm praying that Bell is back in the starting lineup for this. He's worth a try a game and solid in defence. Stewart back is a massive plus, Hicks and Robertson have all sorts of problems with one on one tackles at fullback. I was hoping Beaver would be back because I think we miss him defensively.
I think we've got a good chance of an upset here. The Tigers were awful against Parra last week, so they could be a bit cocky. On the other hand we had an awe-inspiring comeback after a poor first half.
I hope we win but realistically Parra by 8.

I am glad Stewart is back. Robinson is a good winger, but after watching the Penrith game, Fullback he is not. Bell on the bench doesn't sound good though.

 

[Disco]

I'm pretty confident, the eels are getting cocky (top 4, pfffft) and are due to be taken down a notch

 

[Nutzcraw]

We'll roll em!!

Parra haven't played that good they came up against a depleted wests tigers and did it easy which IMO is expected and they were crap against the warriors any other team would have put em away.. but the warriors gave them a 16 point start.. they won't get that sat night and even if they do we'll run em down just like in rnd 8

Here's hoping... A win here and we are in the 8 for sure and can aim up at the real top 4. Not 2007 like Hindy was talking.

Parra at Parra Stadium is a tough ask. 5 wins in a row is no easy feat. Credit where credit is due, Parra is playing good football. I have tipped Parra in my local tipping comp. so hopefully reverse psychology gets Manly through.

 

[Cletus]

I just couldn't get over how bad the Tiges were though. 3 intercepts and every third pass hit the turf. They were a shambles. I'm onto my third beer so Manly by 6 now

WHO THE f**k IS ROBINSON? CHAD ? he plays for eels and is a 2nd rower

 

[Sea Eagle Scuba]

I think he means Robertson blocky.:lol:

Sorry, Robertson. He was shown up on many occasions against Penrith at fullback.

 

[chileman]

:? No Beaver and Watmough.....going to be a tough ask but we stepped up to beat the Panthers.....JUST!

 

[blocker6969]

I think he means Robertson blocky.:lol:

:crazy:

Should be a fantastic game of footy.

I, for one, don't appreciate comments from our players saying, "Yeah, we're aiming for a Top 4 spot..." It places ridiculous pressure on the team to perform.

I'm not 100% confident we will win, but I am confident of one thing - whoever does win this game will have a big fight in their hands. You guys fought tooth and nail last week, and our defence has been getting better and better every week.

I think this will be a great game of footy. Good luck to your guys (just not too much lol).

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Good luck to you to, Eela.

 

[Eelementary]

Thanks, mate. I'll be ecstatic if we win. But I would be happy if you guys won - if our guys put in the effort. It's all good! lol
