PRE-GAME - Round 21 - Manly Sea Eagles

[Renegade]

Brisbane 13+, said it before and i'll say it again, they have a scrub tier side speckled with a few genuinely good players. The only danger is the players that are unwanted for next year all having blinders to find themselves another club for next season.

Thank **** it isn't at that shithole Brookvale.

Matai should be out with that concussion.

Everyone's over the DCE thing. The Toovey axing/new coach thing might be interesting. Though that seems like Wally Lewis v Wayne Bennett proportions of an ego clash. Will be interesting to see how the DCE Sea Eagles go next year and how the new coach manages his one man band.

Otherwise 2015 is a write off year for Manly, surely.

Manly are the new parra

 

[GCBRONCO]

Maybe a merger for the two clubs is on the cards, the numbers for mediocrity add up.

Lol poor foran

 

[Rhys van Beurden]

No Blair for this game should be alright, but next week against the Bulldogs may sting...

Eagles officially sack Toovey, beware dead cat bounce.

Concerning but Bennett will remind his players to not underestimate the Eagles. Interesting match this one, I want to see a big game from Wallace.

There's my something learned for the day, dead cat bounce. Lovely term!

I don't think Manly have it in them, sure they beat the Warriors last week but that was with SJ out for over half the game. The best I can see them doing is to put in a solid for for Tooves but still lose by 10. Most of their wins have been against the bottom 5 sides with a couple of wins against the Storm being the the best they've done this year. Those Storm vs Eagles games sure do have some history!

Blair suspension and new coach factor makes this a tough one to pick now.

Dodds and Wallace keep doing what you've been doing boys.

 

[Sproj]

No loyalty in old Manlyville now. The DCE Equilibirum Bulldozing Effect in full swing?

Don't like coach - GONE
Don't like mostp layers in the team - GOING
Getting filthy rich for not much return - HAPPENING
Chance of Premiership in the next ten years - GONE

Cool stuff at the Sea Eagle Nestatarium.

 

[GCBRONCO]

MANLY players Steve Matai (concussion), Luke Burgess (knee), Ligi Sao (knee) and Tom Symonds (knee) are in doubt

 

[broncsgoat]

Didn't Burgess and Sao do their ACL's? Also, I Didn't see it but Matai's KO was meant to be pretty horrendous.

Big Joe O is back

Big Joe O is back

Nice. I was wondering if he'd be recalled. To be honest i cant think of anyone better.

 

[Huge]

How's his isc form ? 1910 ? Copley to miss I suppose. Super sub Kodi more likely although Parcell would have suited for his superior defence....
