Your opinion is not worth much. I will wait on an educated response.

hindmarsh4pm said:to be honest i cant say i have watched alot of manly games, the ones i have watched chris hicks really has not stood out, eric grothe did last week and thats why i picked him, as for marsh and balin i was leaning towards even because both are good players, however i just think pj just gets him, not alot in it though

! Hicks is on fire, and has been all year, with or without the jesus beard.
The only bloke I rate in the Eels side is Luke Burt. I've seen him do some pretty handy things this year, and of course Hindmarsh. After that it's a miss-match of huge proportions.

Seriously on form Manly win hands down. They are IMO over achieving and on top of the table.
Class
1 Luke BURT (7) v Brett Stewart (8)
2 Jarryd HAYNE (8.5) v Michael Robertson (6.5)
3 Ben SMITH (7) v Steve Bell (8.5)
4 Krisnan INU (8.5) v Jamie Lyon (9)
5 Eric GROTHE (8.5) v Chris Hicks (7)
6 Brett FINCH (8) v Michael Monaghan (7.5)
7 Tim SMITH (7) v Matt Orford (8.5)
8 Nathan CAYLESS (9) v Jason King (7)
9 PJ MARSH (8) v Matt Balin (7.5)
10 Aaron CANNINGS (6.5) v Brent Kite (9)
11 Nathan HINDMARSH (10) v Anthony Watmough (8.5)
12 Ian HINDMARSH (7.5) v Glenn Stewart (7)
13 Daniel WAGON (8) v Luke Williamson (7)
14 Blake GREEN (7) v Travis Burns (7)
15 Josh CORDOBA (7) v Glenn Hall (7)
16 Zeb TAIA (6) v George Rose (7.5)
17 Feleti MATEO (8) v Mark Bryant (6.5)
Parra = 131.5
Manly = 129.0
I have based on ratings on time in 1st grade / rep honours / finals appearances + potential.
I think the home ground advantage would be worth at least 3-5 points as well. I also believe Travis Burn / Glenn Stewart, and both the Manly wingers have had exceptional starts to the season and are currently playing much better than their current class ratings.
So all things considered I would suggest this one is going to be pretty close.
