Thanks Dad

Our bench now has nuts
Jnr,Morretti,Tulagi all have sting
Matterson has ball skills.
It's an excellent bench

My concern would be defense. Even when we had large amounts of the ball they found holes and ripped us up. And not just outside but also in the middle.
We played great don't get me wrong but I wouldn't backcus to beat them at Brookvale.
They still managed 6 linebreaks to our 4.And ours where close to the line jobs. The way sides shred our edges is a huge concern.
The Dogs did it twice for two tries and bar a poor option the the halfback it would of been 3 times . And it isn't like they had much ball or chances.
Defense wins matches. Need to sort it cause at the moment once a side gets inside our 20 we look f**ked

A few times it was kelma. He likes to chase the ball carrier across field and exposes a pass back that changes the angle. He is also slow laterally. Tbh, i wouldnt have him in the team unless he can play like carty.

Give the spot to blaize even if he doesn't get alot of minutes or he comes on when a game is won and as well as cover for a fallen back

He can play 6,4 and 1

Hoppy would be the dummy half when lussick tires in the games where we are defending heaps

Lane had most of last year off, he's not lazy, he needs to get match fit and get his 2022 form back.

I like him and I think he'll come good.

I don't get why sides find overlaps so easily. Has to be a coaching issue.

It's because Manly have ball playing 13 which unlocks their halves and fullback, gives them wdith and allows Turbo to do the full sweep at pace.

Angry Ant Nathan Brown was trying to do the same thing when Jurbo was playing prop, but just didn't have the skill.

It might be a "coaching issue", and you can coach against that Souths LHS or Panthers set plays off a scrum all you like but they are just too f**king good at it. Same with DCE and Turbo.

 

[Gronk]

huh ??

Unsure how the voting works TBH.

What's the go with the goal kicking.

Moses has taken 1 shot both weeks but the rest is with Gutho.

Is it just picking and choosing atm.

Seems bizarre moses would take 1 shot at goal but leave the rest with Gutho.

Either he can't goal kick or he can. Unless its just managing the niggle he has in the groin.

I dont mind, means less sweet friggin caroline blasting the airwaves , the better....

Apparently ?? this is the song Moses wants played after he scores a try or kicks a goal

Did you get any of the pies and sausage rolls they bring out at half time.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

huh ??

Is this where you use the QR Code at the ground and vote for the player? Because they announced it over the PA and the thing didnt bloody work.

no idea mate

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Joe O was a waste of money. We needed backs.

No matter what, the club did the wrong thing

 

[oldmancraigy]

Further to that; does Manly destroy our left edge if we have Sivo wing, Simmo centre? I don't think so.

Haven't we been complaining about Sivo's defence for years?

My memory might be hazy, but I believe we have been carved up on Sivo's side by Manly before?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He is just solid no frills toilers. Reminds me of Alvaro

He is far more experienced than Alvaro. Younger too.
