Manly Under strength vs Eels

MANLY will be vastly under strength for next Friday’s blockbuster season opener against Parramatta.Manly v Parramatta never needs much to ignite a fuse but the departure of Anthony Watmough to the Eels and the possible defection next season by Kieran Foran will have Pirtek Stadium bursting at the seams and baying for blood.Steve Matai is already ruled out as are Tom Symonds, Brenton Lawrence and Jamie Buhrer.Add the injury to Jorge Taufua and a possibility skipper Jamie "Judus" Lyon will be unable to play and it will be a tough task for Geoff Toovey’s side – the ideal stage for a Sea Eagles ambush.Bwaabwaabwaabwaaa

    • Me too, would of been a good gauge where we are at performance wise.

  • Manly still have there

    1,6,7,9 there, they will be still pretty dangerous.
    Hopefully all the eels players are avaliable. Except for Edwards
  • Yes they will be under strength and we have been in this position before, and lost. A win is a win and we still have to beat them regardless of who is in or out.

    It would be great to beat them at full strength but at the end of the day I don't care as long as we beat them.

"Rather Samrani! Does seem odd given the speculation of swapping him for old Barnett. Penisini can be really great at times and then really off at other times. Samrani has been very impressive and seems very strong and determined which is what Parra…"

Parra fan on The Hill replied to Roy tannous's discussion Eels offering Jordan samrani
"I really like Samrani but if JR decides to give him up for MB I think that is a massive mistake. 
IMO Samrani should be 1st drop for either centre/ wing if one of our starters is out. Brian Kelly is bog average and not going to get better.
