Game day blog - Eels vs Sea Eagles

Here we go again, Manly vs Parra...Gutho's 150th.

The Eels finally get to play at home again tonight after a month playing away and what better occassion to return than a Friday night match up against our old rivals, Manly.

Both teams are coming off losses from last week, but Manly got their pants pulled so far down, Ian Roberts, with John Hopoate in tow, were seen post game sniffing around the sheds.

Does the Turbo play? If he does, let's hope he's playing like a turbo charged 1995 Hyundai Excel. 
We get Marata back and it couldn't be better timing bringing his strong hit ups and utility value. Watch for DCE and Foran to bomb the hell out of Simmonson and Perham. With Sivo and Russel waiting in the wings for a return, they'll need to be flawless.

Our defence through the middle has been frail and will need to be strong tonight otherwise we'll be chasing the score again like last week.

BA has identified our poor starts and hopefully this is addressed tonight otherwise things could get ugly.

Its a big occasion being back home and a prime time, free to air Friday night game and I expect a big performance by the boys and win it for our favourite Manly defector...King Gutho.

So, who wins and by what margin?

MOM?

GO YOU EELS!!!

    • You stole my predictions. 

  • I don't usually make predictions but as this is a must win game I won't. The roosters had all the luck last game hopefully we have a little luck this game

    • You are right Slugg, it is must win. We could drop to 8th if we do not, Manly coming off an embarrassing loss, but we are coming off a loss too. If we cannot get up for this, back at home after the Easter Monday massacre then the pitchforks that were put away after Penrith will come back out sharper than ever.

        • 60% of time you are right everytime haha.

          I hope you get that reference haha.

          • LB, Slugg is the orignal sex panther.

          • One of top 10 worst actors of all time 

          • No I don't LB  but I Will

    • Yep must win. I reckon we will be up for it. I'll be out at the game cheering us on , carn eels !
