[Miller was a legend]

I am expecting a massacre. Hope I am wrong

 

[Miller was a legend]

Apparently both Lyon and Oldfield are out

brb walking down to the tab to place $50 on Parra

Lyon
Williams
Stewart
Matai
Oldfield

f**k that's a lot on the sidelines.

Still not an even playing field IMO

Where did you hear that?

 

[derp]

Esi Tonga has been ruled out

 

[Vic Mackey]

Omg oldfield is out?!?!

That changes everything

 

[Apey]

tipped Parra, because i'm an idiot

 

[BunniesMan]

Hindmarshs announcement may have had some effect if this was just a decent team performing below potential.

Yes the margins in their games have been due to lack of effort but they'd still be losing more than they'd be winning if they gave maximum effort. There just isn't that much talent in this team. Hayne is a star, then you have not much to write home about. Manly has stars all over the field.

Eels can't win. Eels won't win.

As funny as it sounds it almost does change everything. Manly are better without him in the team, he is our weakest link.

 

[Grapple]

Parra will be fired up (dur!) in defense, but have yet to show any attack.... in the end Manly just have more skill. Manly by 10.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Hayne is a star, then you have not much to write home about.

We've got Hayne and Sandow - two of the best attacking players in the game.

Where we struggle is in defence, but mostly that's been an attitude thing.

Oh dear.

If I said Sandow was close to the best attacking player in the game at anytime last year I'd have been crucified on here.

Pulling out the occassional highlight play and scoring a few tries does not make someone "one of the best attacking players in the game".

Your entire team has scored less tries than Billy Slater this year. Blame for attacking impotence like that has to go first to whoever wears the #7.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Lots of changes to the Manly team.

 

[Nice Beaver]

Lyon and Oldfield out.

MATAI into the centres and Tafua onto the wing.

Gualavou back from injury also.

 

[ceagle]

Any other teams this year who have been hit harder then us with injuries/suspension ?

 

[typicalfan]

Eels should get a point if they get within 3 converted tries.

You would rather it now than in September/October. Tigers maybe would be close with their fullback, hooker and best prop all out.

 

[ceagle]

Stewart and Lyon out, what options do we have on the right?

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Need a big game from Chocmo.

 

[DOGSvsEELS]

parra looked great in that 1st half before hayne got injured, they would have won that game. if hayne can stay fit parra will do alright this year but they have one of the best sides in manly tonight.

parra need a good hooker, i don't rate keating at all. they should have kept kingston, no suprise parra are always letting good players go, who the f**k is in charge of there recruitment???

should have bought hohaia, de gois, at leat start macguire or give him more time.

 

[typicalfan]

Blair is very big and hard to handle. Nice try by Hayne as well.
