Post-Game Discussion Eels v Manly [Round 11, 2021]

[Deleted member 26876]

Classic manly win

Grinding them down and performing despite a large and loud crowd and other pressures (early sin bin, early lack of possession, bob fulton passing away).

We are such a versatile side now with Suli, Schuster, Croker, Keppie, Saddler and Lawton (who was awesome). Sometimes I couldn’t even tell where players were playing (eg Lawton was standing at second-row alot, as well as lock). I’d keep the bench as it is. Sipley is great, Taupau returning to great form (even though not as explosive as he used to be he is finding ways to be as disruptive).

watch the replay in comfort, no stressing and screaming at the tv

Nah, I still cheer the tries, unleash the inner child.

 

[Scorpio]

If we keep all of our players on the park... we will go far this season.

 

[madmax]

Keppie was amazing!!!!

 

[globaleagle]

loved how Brown kept trying to be an enforcer yet got put on his butt all second half.

Hope the mrc see his sholder charge.

That's as good as I've seen us play in a long time. Parra threw all their intensity at us but couldn't get into that game, we wouldn't let them.

Highlights for me was keppie going after brown and destroying him, that was a total Bozo play. Then the biggest was our no-names absolutely having blinders.

Parker, Garrick, TOF, Saab, Harper and paseka were all huge, may not have scored tries but absolute flipped that game

So proud of the team and players!!

[Mark from Brisbane]

****ing EPIC!!

 

[globaleagle]

I'm so happy I don't even mind that that santa claus is coming to town to tell us all how Manly did it all wrong and they should play to his or her exacting standards and blah blah ****ing blah


GO MANLY

 

[Dion Johnson]

The team are showing great energy, that Eels right edge defence was made look very ordinary by Schuster and Turbo.

 

[Disco]

Easily our best performance of the year.

We have a team here!!!

 

[globaleagle]

the team song will be awesome

It's a weird day.

the loss of a champion, and maybe the birth of a champion team.

 

[Jerry1]

Hate the locking of the game day thread.

 

[KOMORI]

Brilliant game. We spent a quarter of the game down a player and never let them get a point on us during that time.

 

[master blaster]

Thank you boys, the great Bozo would be so proud as I am

 

[jbay]

I'm so happy I don't even mind that that 'usual poster' will come on here tomorrow and tell us all how Manly did it all wrong and they should play to his or her exacting standards and blah blah ****ing blah


GO MANLY

And how Parker is still s**t he’ll be gone when Walker comes back
And Garrick can’t kick and is to slow
And Croker shouldn’t be there
How F***en good do you have to be to get a little recognition 🤯

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Honestly , I’m a bit lost for words.

That was magnificently inspiring.

Bugger me , we are back.

Just got these posts on OneEyed Eel site, they were very confident it seems.

I saw a hilarious comment from a Manly supporter that if both teams played to their best then they would easily win. Would love to know where that bloke's been getting his drugs.

I am confident of Eels gaining total control of Manly this afternoon . Parra to win 36 -12 . .............................. MOM Junior Paulo .............................. I don't wish to think about sin bins.
