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

[Kornstar]

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...

Our best chance was 2009 and we were literally cheated out of that premiership.

There is a very good chance that we won't see another premiership in our lifetime.......

 

[Incorrect]

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

Euphemism?

 

[Matty Bhoy]

That was me, mate.

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

No but I wouldn’t call any of them particularly intimidating either. With the possible exception of Tep, none of them are particularly physical.

 

[Soto]

Sivo’s defensive positioning is shockingly bad

Honestly to score in first grade untouched is unacceptable...same fkn problems yr in yr out..ruck defence and wingers who get caught short

That seriously depresses me, and I think you're right.

 

[TheParraboy]

Well, Manly will easily hit 40.

Can we stop them from scoring 50?

Can we score any further points?

Keep tuned, and find out!

you would think we do everything not to make it a blowout, cause F/A could be crucial

True - but the statement was about size.

I totally agree that we need more enforcer types.

Personally, I know he's getting older, but I would go hard for JWH.

Comebacks on!

 

[Wally21]

Unfortunately I feel at this stage that Neacore (can’t spell his name for shit) will be another Tepi. I’d be offloading him ASAP

 

[Eelementary]

You would think so!

But with this side....

I have less confidence in the Eels than I do in Cricket Australia...

 

[strider]

Comebacks on!

I believe the term is, ambush

 

[84 Baby]

And good for Nrowny. Only player on field for us it seems

 

[TheParraboy]

another try next couple of minutes (to us) then GAME ON

Moses has been good, imo - but all he's been doing is tackling, thanks to his mates...

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Gee that opened up but Mahoney shouldve taken the tackle

 

[Delboy]

That was me, mate.

Different body shape to what Manly,Storm and Roosters have. Let's be honest, we didn't really outmuscle the Tigers in the forwards. Just want to acknowledge that it's an issue and recruitment needs to address it quick smart.

No doubt that's why Gurgess was targeted earlier.

 

[Parramatta1947]

That spray Macquire gave the Tigers - give it to the Eels away from Parra.

We do need more variety - but don't forget, we also have Stefano Utoikamanu, and Oregon Kaufusi.

 

[84 Baby]

I can’t even...

 

[strider]

Useless f**kin touchies
