Manly were very impressive today.....but I still think we will beat them.Dogs were woeful, and I have the confidence in our defense now especially on the edges where Manly were breaking through, and it feels good to be able to say that for a change.
I think it will be a great game, and close maybe Eels 14 to 8. home crowd bringing us home.

I'm a parra fan and a realist. It's a terrible combination that results in a form of pure pessimism not matched in modern sporting fandom.
I wish I could be off with the fairies and suffer with the kind of delusional thoughtform only seen in mental patients and sporting fans. I am sorry but baseless optimism is not confidence, it's just that, delusion.
I expect us to be disapointed.
But, GO PARRA!!
Feeling quite confident. Think LEVI is not as smooth as API or Fanua was for them last year. He is a solid defender but he hasnt got that smooth silky game and is synced into DCE as yet. Once again, the team that controls possesion and field position wins this. WE have subtle advantages across the park. Like to see FERGO pull out a special big one. WE might once again defend our way to victory.
He did kill us. Their forwards were running through our middle like a hot knife does to butter.This was one of our worst games against a team that struggled for 2/3 of the season and ended up being belted several times.
We played them into form that day, think they had lost a few then went on a roll after that.
A lot of people are saying the Eels have a great draw that is not too hard - we need to meet the hard teams so when the finals come round we are up to scratch.
Soft draw means we will be soft in the finals.
Bring them on and let's see what we really have going for us.
All I can say is I hope they have extra strong reinforced hinges on the away team changeroom doors.
And those unbreakable chairs.
Broncos threw a fair bit at us last week, They were nothing like the dragons or titans. I wonder if we do beat Manly will the roosters game in 2 week after that be the real test for the Eels. I think every game is the real test and as we saw against the dogs and pamfers at Bankwest last season, there are no half efforts in the NRL. Off slightly & you are dust.
The Broncos have talent to burn. They lack halves, experience and leadership desperately though. They looked rudderless against us. They are hit 'n miss for 8th spot. I personally don't think they'll make the top 8.
I think they will make it.once thier forwards are all there and fit LOOK OUT!!!
