Mannah ruled out for St George game

Posted by Mr Perpetual Motion on May 2, 2019 at 1:51pm

Parramatta forward Tim Mannah is out of Sunday's Bankwest Stadium stoush with St George Illawarra after rolling his ankle at training.

Mannah, who was in a moonboot at Eels HQ on Thursday, was named on the interchange and his absence is likely to mean a reprieve for Raymond Stone, who was named on the reserves list.

Shocking news, this is going to really hit us where it hurts up front.

Not sure we can recover from this blow, saints by 30.

  It is a blow. Mannah has been one of the most consistent forwards this year and has been playing very well off the bench.

    Totally agree Longy, Tim has lifted this year and been pretty well our most consistent prop, when he came on against the knights you could see the difference.

    He's averaging 116m per game with 36m being post contact with a 91% tackle efficiency. That's good going for a bench prop. He's not a Junior Paulo-type player but he's playing well. Against Newcastle he was one of only two forwards to crack 100 metres with Manu Ma'u being the other one. He also missed only one tackle. Tim's never going to be your forward leader but he's a great bench prop when you just need someone to do that hard stuff through the middle and generate some ruck speed.

    HKF, in total agreement. Tim was our best forward last week without doubt, he ran with purpose and took several players to stop and the try to get him down. That game showed us also that Peni should not have started, as he was picked off too easily, he improved in his second run. Alvaro is going to need to lift for his time on the field, as Tim usually replaces him.

  Oh Snake, why do you persist in flaunting your lack of football brain?
  
  Mannah has been in great form. Lots of post-contact meters and you need that against teams with good line speed. Also barely misses a tackle

That hurts, what the hell was he training for?!! He's too old for that nonesense.

Mannah has actually been one of the best forwards this year coming off the bench!

Definitely a loss, He is in career best form and is great off the bench with post contact meters and overall meters.
