Manly forwards > Parra Forwards?

For manly to win, their forwards HAVE to dominate ours. Our halves are more creative, our backs bigger, faster, stronger and ore skilful.

Menzies at pivot is like Wagon at pivot. You han extra forward who can tacke and run hard. How's his kicking game? Hows his cross field running, torpedo passing etc?

Can't wait for Ben Smith and Guru to shut the old fool Hill up.

.

That analysis is spot on. Manly's only hope is to dominate in the forwards. Something that is now not beyond the realms of possibility given the injury and suspension probelms that the Eels have encountered.

Eels' depth is good though.

Our backrow is better that the Eels, especially with Hindmarsh out.

Kite cancels out Cayless and we played with a 5 prop rotation on Saturday night and it was succesful.

Our achilles heel is King who is a pansy and hates making tackles.

Kite ran for 177 metres though he had less game time than normal. With 8 days break he'll be right.

Harris went down with that ankle injury but bounced back.

Several Manly fans went into the sheds after the game on Saturday and they report no significant injuries - just a few bumps and bruises.

Alberts might come back too. He should be over his virus and is to be considered for selection.

I hope your side also under estimates the value of Cayless.

I wonder how many people would still pick his brother over the top of him??

I honestly belive Parra will be too smart for the Eagles!!

Manly are going to need a bucket load of luck and at Parra Stadium it just isn't going to happen.

Parra's backrow, even without Hindy, is a shade better. Your big gun obviously is Kennedy. Watmough has been awol since they gave himan Origin jumper and he froze. And without Menzies in the BR, you can't counter Morrison, Robinson and (if he's back) The Llama.

We will have the better kicking game -thus turning your big pack around and tiring them.

If your forwards get over ours, like brisbane's almost did, youre in with a big show. I don't quite see it happening.

The Eels should win - Hindmarsh is a huge loss - but they can cope (they showed that against Brisbane).

Ben Kennedy is just amazing, and he'll lead by example and give Manly a shot... but that's about it

Is he available for Aust?

Watmough was very good against the Raiders. A line break, 156 metres (15 hit ups) and 29 tackles. Not bad for someone who's AWOL.

Our Second Row is better than yours for sure. Kennedy alone is better than the 2 reggies beside Morrison.

Parra actually beat Brisbane with 15 men

Hindmarsh only played 3 mins
Vella missed the final 15-20 mins
