[Captain Moondog]

Hayne is the only danger (apart from the pinkos). If we contain Hayne we win.

 

[HappilyManly]

The good thing about Sandow is that he hogs the ball.

He has great skills but is no game reader and more often than not, will try and be the scoring hero - thereby an easy mark :idea:

Manly just have to focus on themselves and ignore bad calls and the expected antagonizing from Darcy et al

 

[manlyfan76]

Run at Sandow all day. He is the worst defender in the NRL.

 

[dowdz]

I think we will win, as long as we are not wearing the cursed jersey lol.

Didn't think Gower would be playing.

The Eels will be well-prepared and confident of an upset for this game.
Thier forwards have proven they can muscle up real well when they're on thier game, our last meeting at home earlier this year was real close, and after last week's Eels close loss they'll be very keen.
Not to mention playing for a finals appearance..

Manly had better be up for this with a dominant performance, and yea, targetting Sandow will help.

Go Manly!

 

[HappilyManly]

Well we know Choc will be out to impress his new Club from 2015

Manly just to stay injury free an off the MRC list

 

[Arko-admirer]

Two Manly juniors lining up against us, and one other ex-Sea Eagle. Doesn't seem right, we're meant to take their players.

 

[globaleagle]

You mean jamie lyon escaped his 'head high' tackle report?????

 

[Jethro]

Hayne is the only danger (apart from the pinkos). If we contain Hayne we win.

Don't forget about Semi Radradra. He definitely needs to be contained too.

Yeah, why aren't we giving our juniors a go! They'll go elsewhere if we don't give them a run in firsts.

 

[HappilyManly]

We aren't dumb enough to pay 800k and 450k a season to local juniors

 

[Ralphie]

We couldn't have met Parra at a worse time. They will be treating this game like a GF, if they lose their faint chances of finals footy is gone and they will also be out for blood after we got out of gaol against them earlier in the season. Couple that with our sub par form and Haynes whinging about the referees and this has all the makings of a Parramatta win.

Never fear though, I have a plan. I am going to punt $20.00 on Parra in this game. That is a guarantee that they won't win because I have never picked a winner when punting on the footy.

 

[Clint]

Can you please back the other 15 teams for the Premiership whilst you are at it @Ralphie

 

[wedgetail eagle]

Reports say Fui Moi walked out of a training session. Probably just went to the Dunny.

If you give me the cash I will happily do so.

Fui Fui is being treated very poorly. He has been dropped from the Team for his final home game. I wonder if Choc is p1ssed off with Parra for treating a favourite son so poorly????

Yep, Hayne's whinging in the tele and the fact that they were genuinely ripped off by the refs against the dogs - I think this portends ill for our chances of being fairly dealt with by the pink clows

Since WHEN have we EVER been dealt with fairly by the pink clowns.
