Rd12: 8pm Parra v Manly GAME DAY THREAD at Commbank 23/5/25

[King-Gutho94]

The missus is out tonight so no chance of me going to this game. Stuck at home with the kids.
At least the game is at 8pm this time so they’ll be in bed by the time it starts.

Will the kids be woken up at 8:10pm after someone starts screaming at the TV from a Tom turbo linebreak that turns into Try.

 

[Twizzle]

We are on a roll..

yeh, 1 in a row is a roll for us

I’ve learned to muffle my screams.

As with most weeks, I am not expecting a win in this one. Hoping Brown and The Hawk have massive games to make up for Moses’ absence. Also hoping our defence steps up and we don’t get torn to shreds on the edges like we have in previous meetings with Manly.

Is Olakau’atu playing in this one? He was picked as a reserve for the NSW team but haven’t heard if he’s allowed to play here or not.

Olakau’atu is named at 11 is can play as he is not in the NSW 18

Damn.
I’m expecting him and Turbo to tear us apart showing the NSW selectors what they are missing.

Wet weather will probably hamper Turbo.

 

[T.S Quint]

Wet weather will probably hamper Turbo.

He might do his hammy again.

After scoring three tries of course.

 

[Chipmunk]

No Moses and No Lomax means no chance.

I think Manly could put 50 on us.

 

[T.S Quint]

Maybe Manly will be off their game today.

Ambush!!!!

 

[JokerEel]

No Moses and No Lomax means no chance.

I think Manly could put 50 on us.

Especially with Moses defense which has saved a few certain tries this season..

Did anyone catch Galvin at last night's game?

Hope he's a special guest at our game.

So apparently Manly have only won 1 game out of 6 at Commbank since it opened in 2019.

If you go back further Manly only have 3 wins from the last 14 games at the old Parra Stadium into Commbank if you go back to 2010.

From the forecast it looks like the horrible weather has passed and clear skies tonight, with Commbanks drainage you’d imagine zero impact on the game from the recent downpours. Manly’s speed is the worry.

 

[Gherkin]

I reckon we'll rip in. Paulo MOM in his milestone game

 

[Timana]

Hahaha do it for juunz

If he was at last nights game we may need to worry he heads to Dolphins

 

[Joshuatheeel]

What is everyone worried about, we didn't go to bad against them in round 4 at 4 Pines. Our attack wasn't going that great back then, but we created a few opportunities. Yeah we lost, but wasn't a flogging!

We have improved a lot since then!

Think we will go ok, might not win, but will be pretty close. Our recent form line, is pretty good.

 

[eels_fan]

they say you’re only as good as your last game…. If we can ensure we lose by less than 36 we’ll technically be in better form and he will sign with us. Maybe.
