There is a positive to yesterdays game, but I will get to that later.
My 12 year old daughter is a mad eels fan, nags me to near death if we fail to attend a game or at the least watch the game live. Yesterday was the first time I saw such utter loss on her face and as her dad, I literally had no words to comfort her that didn't seem to excuse the team from their last 2 dreadful performances.
After thinking it through, I decided to show my girl what a real Parra side looks and plays like and what a champion captain who bleeds blue n gold and drives his team mates on to dig deeper and leads by example - the great Pricey ..... what a bloody champion, oh how we miss you.
So I dragged out the 81,82,83 and 86 grand finals - She was gobbed smacked - She was very upset with the dirty tactics Manly used on the 82 and 83 GF,s but in essence realised what a bunch of soft players we have today.
To be trueful it was good medicine for me too, much to my wifes repeated calls to let sleeping dogs lie.
Usually I walk away looking to kick the cat or mope for the better part of the week, but watching those GF,s I felt better and quite proud of the boys of yester year, I really can't imagine what these guys think after watching such piss poor performances and the pride dissolve over the decades.
Back to that positive ...... At least we got Manly's season back on track lol

We finally had our on field leader in peatsy. Ok, not the best offensive dummy half but he hated losing and was always angry. I just dont see any player in our roster that can instill fear in the other players.
thanxs Poppa
you think that would have any effect ?
these guys are milennials --- water off a ducks back
Not one showed embarrassment yesterday .... all smiles whilst congraluting Manly after the game
Peatsy is a real competitor and hates losing BUT I'm not sold on Peatsy as our answer plus he hates us now and takes every oppotunity to tell anybody who will listen

I never want to see Evans in an eels Jersey again.
I never want to see Takerangi in the forwards again.
Kings injurie is actually good for us. atleast
Prichard has Ticker.
I was very disapointed in our forwards mainly Brown. But willing to give him another go. ( just )
Now we will see if BA is the real deal.
