[Mr. Shaman]

We surrender.

 

[SDM]

Game will be a stinker, hopefully a few injuries.

 

[footy75]

Rarely do Melbourne lose two in a row but with a huge injury list and Manly fighting for their lives they are their for the taking.

 

[greenBV4]

Smith will likely be back, as will J Brom and maybe Hughes
we usually bounce back hard after a loss, we should have this

 

[eagles4eva]

Scratch another one, Suli out for the Season.. Looks like Hoppa Jnr will finally get a go...

Besides the storm putting 50 on us, gonna be good to see Albert get a go

 

[moffla]

Gonna tip us here, by not by a lengthy margin. Have a feeling we will limp a bit before hitting form in time for finals.

Can't see us losing to a side that was nearly 40pts down at Half Time the week before

 

[greenBV4]

Who the Storm 6 is will be interesting
No word of munster being back and I'm pretty sure Jacks got injured so its out of Johns or Hynes I guess (if hughes is back) - many would say Hynes had the better game last week but I think they'll give cooper another run

 

[mave]

Des to pick Hoppa on the bench, then give him zero minutes, a la Jamie Buhrer for his first 2 or 3 games

John Hoppas head to then explode

 

[Perth Red]

Reserve grade storm v playing dogshite Manly. Could be a classic lol

 

[eagles4eva]

Jack G in the centres, seriously has Dessie lost it....Hopefully it changes game day and Hoppa Jnr comes in...

.

 

[greenBV4]

Munster, Smith and Hughes all named
Look out Manly
Hopefully not rushed though, we don't really need the W

 

[GongPanther]

Another pasting. 54-6. And that is the HT score.

1. Tevita Funa 2. Jorge Taufua 3. Brad Parker 4. Jack Gosiewski 5. Reuben Garrick 6. Cade Cust 7. Daly Cherry-Evans

Wow, that's gotta be the worst backline the Eagles have ever listed...How the freak did Funa keep his position after last week.

Its not about injuries, all teams have big lists of injured players its about depth. No depth at all, If the turbo's and DCE are eating too much of the salary cap to allow us to have fringe first graders available. The Eagles are in trouble for years to come..

Will line-up

1. Hopoate
2. Taufua
3. Parker

Des thinks he's smart, but he really is just mad.

Sacrilege. Any team with God in the back line will have everlasting glory and eternal life. However because this Manly fan is ye of little faith, the dark Storm will lay waste to the earth and win by 50.

I do remember blokes like bradley-qalilawa and paul stephenson beijg in your backline at one stage

Ugh don't remind us, arsehole.

 

[Perth Red]

I think this will be a lot closer than we think. Were still pretty busted and Manly always lift a gear against us. 24-12 to Storm

You really are filth, aren't you.
