Certainly no excuses with SOO
The 2 Eels out Moses and Lomax have been the 1 bright light, while I reckon the Manly game plan will now simplify which in a way will be a more disciplined maybe direct style
Manly if serious should get home here
 
A solid-looking Manly side that should get the job done against a Parra side missing their only two worthwhile players for this year. Two players on our bench returning from a long lay-off is probably one more than I would like. But that team should get a job done. Interesting to watch Lodge, he is the very definition of Rocks and (very occasionally) Diamonds but generally does seem to start well.
 
That's a very experienced looking bench. Hope the old timers can bring the energy too
You're certainly correct with the experienced and old timers reference. Throw in TKO and Tevaga as starters and it really highlights just how much rejuvenation this team needs.

We're going to miss Bulle's leg speed from the bench but he deserves to start. Brown might give us some for a short stint and Waddell was pretty honest on the weekend. But Lodge and Crokes are unknowns until we see what shape they're in.

Paulo and Hopgoods offloads could be the undoing of our older and less match fit players. They really need to shut those down. If they can do that, I reckon they can get it done. 🤞
 
Remember mate he injured himself playing for us! Up until that injury he was one of our better forwards & for mine has been since the rainbow drama, of which I’m still not convinced he was the one behind the players refusing to play!
We will need him firing if we want to make an impact this year.
 
How ironic that Arthur is returning to the NRL for us against the Eels, whose fans were unkind and gave him hell when he played for them. I hope we flog them for various reasons including Jake's sake.
