They were at the time...

Yes, you are correct. They were in 8th position that week. Let's be frank however, they are not and have never really been a top 8 side at any time in 2019. At best they poked their nose into the 8 a few times.

Mannah had 189 metres last week with 69 PC. 5 tackle breaks 2 offloads. He obviously hates the old blokes

Wow, what a very impressive future this young mannah must have. Surely if we can give him a shot in the semis, it will get the necessary runs under his belt to one day become an eels great.

Ffs just give the kid a go.

Not every debut is made when Joe Public wants it and not everyone held back is because of form alone.

The player yet to debut is always better than the ones already in the team.

I’m pretty sure that was written in the Bible.

When dropped he sooked and wanted to leave. He can stay in reserve grade.
Did he sook though? We don't really know. Maybe he just made a sensible decision to further his career. We do know that McGuire was happy to have him, so that would have extended his career by at least one year. Yet he decided to stay, so I'd think our club convinced him. But why do that if he's never a shot at ever playing first grade again?
