Rd21: Manly v Parra GAME DAY THREAD @ 4 Pines Park 5/8/22

[hineyrulz]

The boo boys took an L.. and the rumours forum which is bombarded with comments about him will be quiet. It’s two different sentences mate. If you associate with one or both, that’s on you. Up Parra

Fair enough, i don't think any Eels fan is upset we won and Jakey did well why would we???? We all want the team to win and is to finally break this duck. It's the same with Arthur, despite my criticisms of him and his coaching we all want the team we have followed for a long long time to win.

Football fans are fickle as fk mate. There’s a 19 year old kid who’s been booed and slammed on social media for a good few weeks. I’m not saying that’s you. But those who have been doing it, are a different type of dick for mine.

JA stuck it right up them for mine, tonight. Gutsy performance from the kid.

That doesn't sound good. I missed it, but he's becoming someone that really should wear headgear on the refular.

Head gear doesn’t have any proven effect on concussions. Only stops cuts to the head

Edit - Should have read ahead as already discussed, sorry mate!

 

[hineyrulz]

Dude no one mentioned you..

And don't say all of us on here wanted Jake to do well that's a load of bull shit.

Saying they didn't think he would play well or shouldn't be there doesn't mean anyone wanted him to fail. I say it again we all wanted him to do well, i mean if he has a shocker we lose that game tonight. He not only held his own but he came up with some big plays down the stretch to get us home.

Some random thoughts:

Gutherson had a great second half but I still think he could do a job for us at centre next year and fix our edge defence. I'd try Russell at fullback and rotate them depending upon who we play.

Jake Arthur is still freakin slow, but he did his job especially in the second half which is what a back up should do. I was happy for him. He needs to kick to the corners more. He reminds me of a malnourished younger version of Jeff Robson.

As I said in another post I'd be buying Tapau or Klemmer as props coming off the bench next year. Our starting props need support and the pop guns we have on the bench now are a pedestrian in comparison.

I still can't cop Mahoney.

I hope Matterson is ok for next week.

Ice had a quiet game for us, but still made 136m.

Shaun Lane is the most improved forward in the comp.

Going forward we need to put Nathan Brown back on the bench. I couldn't give a f**k who he replaces.

Please leave Simonsson out of the side and leave Blake on the wing. That's his position.

Dylan Brown is the best player we have unearthed since Jarryd Hayne.

Does thinking of that turn you on???? Sicko.

Wouldn't expect anything different from yourself.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I mean moved on from being a top 17 option, if Ogden has gone missing why was he just rewarded with a promotion????

How good do you need to be to be upgraded from outside the top 30 in f**king August ffs

 

[Eelementary]

I guess, but we still need a better kicking game at 7 than Jake (and he had a great second half tonight).

He'll get there.

He's 19, and he is improving.

He had a pretty solid game tonight, under a fair deal of pressure - potential of fans booing him, stepping in for our star 7 with our Finals hopes potentially slipping away...

He did well.

 

[Soto]

Best win of the season.
Adversity, away from home, parochial crowd, season on line, dubious calls against calls. But fk that was one monster performance and one to be extremely proud of. Go u mighty Eels...wooooooooooo

 

[Parra]

If we can only keep one of him or Moses who do we keep?

Both

Hopefully better than Maka who is a world champion plodder.

Pot meet kettle

I kinda think Reg may have outplayed Jake The Flopper tonight as well. Cop that Freddy you hipster dufus!

Did the fat tub of lard play tonight??? Did he make a hard carry??? Barely sighted tonight.

Just back from the game and loved reading all the comments on here.
Did we win the second half this week?

 

[eels_fan]

One thing I don’t think we should lose sight of is the fact after 21 rounds we’ve won the same number of games as the Storm, and more than the Roosters & Rabbits.

we’d have 100% taken that if on offer before the season started.

From a mindset perspective it would be MASSIVE to beat the rabbits next week, but if we don’t it’s not panic stations.

Moses back vs Dogs and I think we go on with it into the finals.

if Hughes is our long term for storm, it’s not unfathomable they lose the next 4

 

[King-Gutho94]

It’s one of the worst grounds to go to. Especially if you have dark hair and olive skin.

It's a disgrace seriously the language up there is atrocious.

You shouldn't take your kids there. We don't abuse the manly fans at our home games the way they do. And it's the smugness as well that really shits me.

The only joke they have is 1986 since we won a comp.

Big whoop we beat them in 1982 and 1983 so effectively we are 2-1 in GFs against the pricks.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Fair enough - I was wondering why headgear hadn't caught on as expected over the past few decades.age

Especially if it's compulsory at young ages.

Not compulsory in younger ages, never has been
