Game Day: Eels V Manly [Round 12, 2025]

[bob dylan]

Well that was pants. Not a single senior player standing up and leading from the front

Lots of tripe in our squad

Yep buying old washed up players is a waste of time and money. Brown, Lodge, Tevanga, Taukeiauho etc.

 

[HoldenV8]

Think about this.....

So far in 2025, no opposition side has let Dylan Brown look like a $1.3m per year player.

While he's still not looking like a million dollar player ... he's winning the battle of the halves for the Eels.

 

[LeonardCohen]

I think the frustration is we won and won well last week. We also defended stoutly. A week later, against a pretty weak Eels outfit, we turn it up. It’s fine if we get beaten, but I think some of us fans are sick of seeing us beat ourselves. The defence is atrocious.

 

[XV-1]

Arthur is absolutely schiit, slow as fccuk, can't break thru a wet paper bag and the vision of a blind man.

Waddell is the worst player in both teams.

TKO, Brown and Family basher are pedestrian.

Bully , our best forward with Ola gets pulled off first after19 minutes and hasn't been back on !!

Navale must be on the bench to pop down to Macca's a get Spoony and Big Mac meal

 

[The Indian]

I think in attack we look pretty good. We've got the points in us in the 2nd half if we just attack that Parra right edge defence. But our defence tonight...as old Rex Mossop would have said " spare me days"

Our shocking defence tonight is going to make this close.

Cmon boys

 

[eaglebuzz]

We can and should still win this but only if we tighten up around the ruck. Defend like that in the second half and the Eels will score 40+

 

[WAMF]

So Brad Arthur ain't getting the bears job. Mestrov should get on the phone and get him here for next season. Seibold can take his new gay hair cut and **** off

Best joke I've heard this week.

 

[Waz13]

The jeckly and Hyde Manly team is on show again tonight
Still in it but geez doing it the hard way

I’m sick of watching this team tbh. I really am.

Afraid so, just like a box of chocolates, you never know what you get.

I read a stat the other day that only 4 teams hadn't won this year when behind at half time...guess who was one of them.

The universe was telling me something today. I was going to go tonight but something came through late at work. I looked online to see who I could delegate to but the only person left was my teams version of Waddell, so I stayed and did it myself. The positive was I didn't have to sit amongst the two heads at CommBank watching this..

 

[Wombat64]

I don’t normally do game day threads…. But farm me sideways people go OTT!

Parts just had their best half of the year. They completed a lot of sets, and played well (for them)

We played at 50% at best

Pull ourselves together, get fresh legs out there. We’ll be fine. Relax everyone (I look forward to the egg on my face by 10pm 😂)

No they didn't. because I like watching Parra lose I've watched all of their matches this year and they've got better each week. The early season results don't reflect how they've been playing lately ..... I suggest you haven't watched Manly games enough over the past 6 weeks. We suck.

 

[bob dylan]

Brooks missed 8 tackles a few weeks ago.

Looks like he is on target to better than that tonight, 4 already.

At least its an achievement.

I actually think we looked pretty ordinary most of last week as well LC. Cows were just horrendous.

I feel like I am watching Parra play Parra, it's so schiit.

 

[danny-boy]

I can’t see us winning. We have been taking 1st half form into the 2nd half all season. I don’t see it changing tonight.

Yep, we're sitting here drinking a few beers and talking about that very same thing. If I'm a knights fan I'd give up. They are ****ed..... he's not worth even close to that.

 

[Eagle 1]

Just got to hope that Tom, Kaula and Lehi keep churning out tries for us, otherwise, it wont be good.

 

[HoldenV8]

If Tom gets involved more in the attack, we can win. We have the attacking capability to win this.

The question is do we have the defensive capability??

 

[Wombat64]

Waddell is the worst player in the NRL but is starting and will play 80 minutes for us tonight. Can point at a few reasons why we are behind to a weak as **** Parra team right now but that would be the first thing I’m looking at.

THE WORST

Manly are a frustrating team to support
For many years now
But we keep turning up as fans
