"Let's hope so Coryn, bit of a pluck on my part but I think Burton's potential still has not been realised and I hope they continue to muck around with him....I cannot see Galvin as a long term half and he will be sniffing at Burton's 5/8…"
"Thanks for that Ian, Hambly was one tough Hombre let me tell you. The amazing part of that story was Chalky Barnes (a very slight man) got up and finished the game.....rumer has it that his body imprint was still in the ground after the game LOL"
"Wasn't there for 'Hambly steam rolling Barnes' but my father always talked about what a great player Hambley was. I am not too far behind you though, Poppa, my first memories of Eels start in the early 70s at Cumberland Oval"

Exactly right Phil, glad eels fans are slowly waking up to this imposter.
On the way to getting in his ear ... B.A should tap him on the shoulder instead !
2 things
1) he has been our most consistent forward this year (and is so most years). He NEVER gets driven back, rarely misses a tackle and has the fastest play the ball of the squad.
2) he takes the multiple hit ups simply because the other soft options won’t put their hands up to have a go. That’s actually called leadership.
And then you get a blog like this criticising it!
I saw him get driven back several times against the raiders. what he NEVER does is offload or bend the line or trouble the defensive line.
But every defender knows he will never offload so tackling him is easy
I think fans a very harsh on Mannah , reminds me a lot of Ben Kennedy in the way he inspires the players around him .
Good to have you back Fong! Where you been?
