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.
"I think it all went source for lomax, firstly when BA was sacked but mostly when he realised he was going to play wing and not centre after given an opportunity to nail a centre spot but failing.
I don't think he wants to be a battering ram…"
"Yeah let's say it's a 10% chance Matterson plays for us at all and a 1% chance he is back to his best. He'd be in our best 17 but so unlikely.
i really like the idea of Junior playing 13 in the same way he did for Toa Samoa. Hopgood, Williams,…"
"I can't wait to finally see the back of Matto that guy is planning life after footy because it's become clear to me he no longer wants it like he once did .Terrible way to finish a career from a guy whose potential is SoO player at his best now he's…"
"The question I'm asking is what happend to Lomax being a happy camper to this wanting to go to r360.
Was it purely money driven
Did he want a new challenge I'm not sure.
You'd love to be the fly on the wall listening here as somethings changed…"

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
