Rd18: Parra v Manly LIVE GAME DAY thread 21/7/19

[DaveMc]

Good play Gutho, really showing your leadership with that fourth tackle kick.

 

[IFR33K]

As an aside, I have a lot of respect for the Trbojevic brothers - great players, and good people, too.

Also how good is Des going.

 

[Eelementary]

You are angry because after 2 decades you are wondering why the team can't just f**king turn up to a game for once and show some passion. I'm f**king angry too and i knew it would be a blood bath.

It's almost as if they think that they've won 3 in a row, why do they need a 4th........

I was speaking to my uncle the other day, and I mentioned that I'm genuinely concerned that I will never witness the Eels win a Premiership - and he agreed with me.

Mind you, he's a Raiders fan, but still - it speaks volumes, imo...

 

[DaveMc]

Also how good is Des going.

Imagine if he’d have been off contract when we were coming off a spoon year ...

Yeah they seem like genuinely nice blokes.

There was a comment that our forwards are big enough, just not good at the wrestle. Junior is the one that measures up, Fonua Blake, Sironen and Thompson , even Paseka are considerably bigger that our forwards. It's a simple game, Manly have used iit effectively all season. Get field position from the big forwards and go from there, unfortunately we are In the game when it's fast moving and even possession, today shows what the problem will be in the finals of we get there.

Recruitment has to acknowledge this. Doesn't help when Fainu is one of our juniors who make the bus trip to Brookvale.

 

[TheParraboy]

our next away game is the dragons at jubilee, that will be interesting

Norman to carve up?

That was me, mate.

I'd hardly call Tepai Moeroa, Shaun Lane, Kane Evans, or David Gower small, tbh.

 

[Tooooks]

We can’t defend our errors so there’ll be a try in thirty seconds.

Nailed it.

 

[IFR33K]

Is sivo that freaking stupid?

 

[DaveMc]

Sivo’s defensive positioning is shockingly bad

 

[Wally21]

Ok @Eelementary you're right. They are a f**king disgrace

 

[Eelementary]

Is sivo that freaking stupid?

Yes.

 

[TheParraboy]

catch and pass, thats all it takes for Manly

 

[Noise]

Is sivo that freaking stupid?

Yep. He needs Jennings inside him telling what to do.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

On the back of a stupid pass from our half.

Honestly do they want to play in the finals?

After this performance they dont deserve to.

 

[Eelementary]

Ok @Eelementary you're right. They are a f**king disgrace

I've tried to be positive, and glass half full, like you and Gronk (in fact, I admire your stoic positivity)...

However, I cannot cop this garbage.

I know Manly are playing very, very well.

But we have shown nothing, bar a short, 5-minute period where we threatened to look halfway professional...

 

[Eelementary]

Well, Manly will easily hit 40.

Can we stop them from scoring 50?

Can we score any further points?

Keep tuned, and find out!
