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

[Poupou Escobar]

I don’t remember saying he was a first grader.
In fact I said the opposite.

Nobody ever said he was a first grader. He is a backup.

He did the job he was expected to do tonight. The experienced first graders in the Manly side around him failed in theirs.

FFS!

Ryles made a point and i think we starting to see the whole club approach he has taken when he said Hawkins knew his job and what was expected. I think for far too many years we have had back ups not being able to slot into the team

 

[forward pass]

I cant believe the people on here last week bagging Iongi. Absolutely no idea.

We are a better side without Penisini. Some big choices to be made when Bailey returns.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

To be honest we made Manly look absolute garbage.

We did. It was a great team performance. We made Tom Trbojevic look like Jake Trbojevic.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If he’s the first back up half for the club, he should be expected to do a job beyond what he did tonight.

Should he be expected to play better than starting half Luke Brooks?

Remember when he played for us in a grand final? In what f**king world does that happen without his dad being the coach. It remains mind-boggling.

Scored a try too. Great support play.

Suck a tailpipe, dickhead.

 

[Avenger]

You are such an absolute dullard. You have the singular worst judgment about football in anybody I’ve ever come across. You should cease posting to stop embarrassing yourself, but it’s obvious you’re impervious to being shamed by being such a f**king vegetable. Your sheer existence on this forum is to the detriment to everybody here.

Trust me, just ignore him.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah interesting that we made alot less errors with the ball too.

I really love the straight line defense. Man, back in 2022 if BA could've put that defensive line in us, what could've been

We didn't have the pack for that sort of defence in 2022.

 

[Avenger]

Suck a tailpipe, dickhead.

What if there is a banana in there?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

remember BA didnt like to use 17 players

Bellamy left Hynes on the bench in the 2020 grand final. Nobody needs to use all 17 players.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If we get Galvin this year I’d be giving Hopgood a break.

6. Galvin
7. Moses
13. Walker
14. Brown

We'd miss his 41 tackles (in 50 minutes) with none missed.

You f**king cretin. If his name was Nicho Bellamy, there might be a comparison. But it isn’t, and there isn’t.

Gee Special K was very good tonight his runs and defense were 100 times better than just a few weeks ago..

Hawkins was excellent as well

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Drown underwhelming!

His pass:run ratio is usually about 3. Tonight it was over 10.

 

[JokerEel]

Where does it have him missing 0 saw him miss a few tonight

 

[Poupou Escobar]

His defence has been good all season. That's why he's been picked to start nearly every game.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Trust me, just ignore him.

Great Eels win and the f**king idiot wants to keep talking about Jake Arthur. Unbelievable.

 

[emjaycee]

You need to stop being such an absolute dumb merkin, and just simply acknowledge that Jakob Arthur is a f**king awful footballer.

Is he better or worse than Kautoga?

 

[JokerEel]

What was the crowd number?

Not too bad
