I have to disagree! Snake, I don’t think the Eels will beat Manly at Lottoland and in fact unless there are drastic changes I’ll be surprised if the Eels win their fist 4 games this year!
How do we protect our halves? That is the question for me.
Merrin blind sided Brown - big time - Brown needs to step up.
The rest of the PP fwds focused on taking out our halves. They (PP) were sloppy in attaxk but their defence was first class and they did what they wanted to us in the second half.
The Eels aren’t a grubby team, we will struggle against the grubby ones unless we have a plan.
Monto parra started last year 2 wins 4 losses yet finished top 4. As defence has been our best attribute past 2 years losing early rounds isn't unusual but wouldn't expect to lose more then 1 or 2 from first 4 this year. Even if we do though it not the end of the season.
Defence will improve as season goes on as will our attack but some of the lazy arm grabs and missed tackles were signs of fatigue and lack match fitness and will be minimised as season progresses.
"Yeah, you're right. PM...and there is a chance (moses foot anyone?) that it works out really well for us...but we are a damaged fan base and we expect the worst...that someone or everyone fucked up...and while we wait for the worst to occur, as it…"
"But this is the thing the club created this with the options when your talking a club that doesn't develop and leaves an avenue open for another club to take our best for me is an issue.
Your right he could have chose to stay but let's be real here…"

I fear you maybe mistaken. Manly at Brookvale is no easy task. The Cowboys are the only away side I’ll be tipping this week.

BA coached teams usually respond well after a loss.

They have already lost Rd 1 so it is impossible to win the first 4 games this year
