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

[Soto]

We need a packed Commbank stadium Fri night. Soufs have had the wood on us in recent years. Time to return the favour.
Time to paint the stadium blue and gold

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.

I’m hearing Nathan Brown could be out for a while - 5 weeks.

Yep he did and shoved it up yours and ya mates asses on here tonight

settle on down champ. You come across angry. Let’s not get carried away. He had a good second half setting up two tries, Great pass and short kick. His first half was terrible, he is very very slow and predictable just like a sloth. Kicking was average, some inside passes were straight out of nursing home special , you could see it coming from a mile away. Nobody wants the kid to fail most on here were angered with the booing and felt sorry for him.

physically I thought he would have filed out a little
More by now. He’s still a skinny twig

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

Yeah but we lost the first, so I'm pretty certain that still means we're shit and BA can't coach and has to go

Maybe I need to fly to Phuket every week.

You'll do it for a few weeks but I reckon you'll get sick of it and then say..."Bugger it".

The first half was a draw rather than a loss but its still not a win which makes them Loossers!

The score's a technicality, we were so obviously loosing at half time.

If you do you'll spend a lot of time getting questioned by Customs.

No...he and the team redeemed themselves after being level at halftime.
He can stay another week

Staines plays for Penrith

LOL@Manly

and whilst we’re at it

LOL@Dragons how could you overlook Saab in reggies ?

Did they though? Without looking it up he was playing first grade for them, they wanted to keep him/re-sign him and he said he wanted to be closer to his family in Fairfield so he chose the lovely south western sydney club in the manly sea eagles.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Yeah ive always thought his future was as an edge if he has a future

Not sure if edge is suited to his game. Most of the time he'd be running angles off the half, explosivity is a weakness of his. I think the middle suits him a bit more, work-rate and ball-playing are his strengths.

I hope so but our defence needs fixing quick smart. Manly absolutely killed us yesterday when they spread it.

Yes and soufs loves that spread to their left.
Smash that grub Walker and Latrell

Waqa and Peni are gonna have a lot of traffic coming their way against Souths...

Needs to spend the off-season lifting weights with Sivo but I tend to agree.

 

[Happy MEel]

I think Waqa has cemented his position as a winger. He gets so much more involved and his tough carries at the back are up there with To’o’s.

We also look so much better defensively on that edge with Opa out there. I’m afraid Simmonsen is surplus so hopefully he’s not costing us too much.

It will peak hour traffic down that side next week
