Game Day: Manly v Eels [Round 22, 2016]

I believe it was Haynes life long dream to play league for the titans. As for this game, I have a bad feeling. On paper and man for man, this is evens. Brown in the centres is almost a tipping point the eels way. And too much paper talk about how well we are going. Prime ambush material this one.

But think about their head space , **** going on all around them, the Hayne news, I'd suggest they don't give a **** about if they win or lose.
 
Oh I agree with the over confidence thing, in fact I reckon that's what happened last week, clocked off thinking the second half was going to be easy.

We should get these pricks BUT they will need to be on their game.
 
Parramatta will be fielding their strongest side in weeks, plenty of strike in the outside backs. Surely Baz has been watching video of the games over the last few weeks and won't play Brown at centre. If Parcell is back then there is no excuse to play Brown in the backline. I'm still hoping Killer will be a late inclusion, but if he's not then Api has got to play in the six. Walker is a non entity at 5/8 and having two specialist centres against Jennings and Takairangi is a must.

Get rid of bad feelings...with Parcell on a 6 man bench there's a good chance he'll be our hooker, meaning Api 5/8 and Walker can play centre instead of Brown.
Admittedly Checcin won't help our cause but the Eels have little to play for, whilst we have heaps. Go Manly!

Yep, there's absolutely no reason for Brown to be in our backline if Parcell is picked.
 
We will win this game with or without killer. We were sloppy at the back end of last week but that's because we were so far in front and it was foreign territory for half the team. Darcy and the pack will rip in this week and we won't give them a look in.

I seem to remember us having plenty to play for last season at Brookie and them with nothing to play for and we know how that turned out.

But we now know that some Manly players didnt have much to play for, or werent interested, or maybe they even had a lot to play for but not necessarily to win. Whichever way you look at it, it seems the entire team appears more interested in winning this year.

True, but half of them just didn't 'play'. Anyway, that was last year - this year's a whole lot different and now they're playing as a team all with one purpose.
 
The Hayne news could mean a significant reduction in Parra fans attending on Friday.
