'15 | R1 | Fri | PAR 42-12 MAN | Pirtek

Hayne was the best player in the game, but I honestly believe the Parra team as a unit had drifted into a mentality of leaving it to Hayne to decide matches, and that ultimately losing Hayne will be a good thing long term for the team.

 

[natheel]

Manly to win here, Parramatta relied so heavily on Hayne you can't imagine how they'd go without him

we will be right, different mentality, the team seems to have moved on

 

[ek999]

I have to go Manly because I don't think Parra will be at their best straight away. I think they will be probably make the 8 but it will take a couple of weeks to be at their best.

That said, that Manly side is one of the worst they have named in a long, long time. Lucky for them their spine is still strong so they should get the win

We have a hard start to the year I hope we hit our straps straight away otherwise I think we will struggle to keep up.mwe need a good start

 

[seaeagle sam]

A seags win here. DCE to have a blinder and take it to the market place. Should be a great game, good luck Parra fans.

 

[Incorrect]

Ceagles backline still looks nice even with a couple missing. I don't know where our points will come from, I can't see us crossing the stripe more than 2-3 times if lucky and do I'll say Manly to win 18-8

 

[typicalfan]

Parra are strong at home in recent times but no Hayne. Normally you wouldn't tip Parra without Hayne.

Manly backline is much more set despite the off field rubbish and Manly were good last year despite the drama.

Having said that I'll tip Eels. 16-14.

Eels 23-10

This could be anything. I expect both teams to miss the 8.

What a bold prediction. :crazy:

Thanks for dropping by.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

As long as it isn't as boring as last night's game I'll be happy.

 

[whall15]

I still have no idea how Parra will go without Hayne.

 

[blaza88z]

I can't believe the bookies have them equal favorites, what am I missing?

Best halves combination in the league vs a team who have lost their most influential player, I don't get it

The disruption factor. The NRL is so tight these days that playing 5% under optimum can lose you a game.

I'd say the bookies are banking on minds being elsewhere for Manly giving them the 5% drop they need to take them on.

 

[yobbo84]

Manly love this club-in-crisis BS. I think they'll smash the Eels.

I agree that they will be drinking it up.

Don't think we'll smash them but wouldn't surprise me if its a good old fashioned ambush.

 

[Dutchy]

Matai and Buhrer will be missed.

 

[betcats]

Counting on Choc to provide some fireworks for this clash.

 

[MrAnonymous]

Parra will get the job done tonight imo. Lots of BS going on at Manly atm. Still think Manly will comfortable make the 8, don't see Parra in there at the end of the year.

He'd be sitting in his sandpit as we speak banging blocks together and eating playdoh. Getting himself prepared.
