Good to have a win but not a lot to get excited about.

Manly looked like they didn't want to be there and played accordingly. Towards the end of the game I thought a few of the Manly forwards looked like they wanted to punch DCE right in the melon.

Ideal time for Makasini to replace Toa & make his debut at the 8th.Should be a full house next Sunday arvo at the magnificent 8th wonder.
With us still in the hunt, ever so slightly, I reckon if is To'a out, Naden will come in.
IMO, the aim should be top 8 (very unlikely) and win the remaining games, Raider may be the stumbling block, but they may rest players?

To those people still being critical of Luai, I say look at that pass he delivers to Taylan May one more time. Or when he ran it in the lead up to the first try to break the defence apart and quickly played the ball before it could reset. We don't score in that set without Luai making that decision. The skill and instinct combination is on another level. Possibly only Munster is on that level.

Yes, dce hasn’t been the most popular player over yonder with his peers.

We outgunned Manly in personnel, but I’ll gladly take it as we didn’t screw up the lead.

The miracle of a close to starting side and AD continues his run of competence.

Shout out to Taylan for making ends meet. A couple of games back, he’s way of ahead of the curve recovering from all that damage.

I’m almost pleased..!

Ok but if he could just get the ball out to the wing more than once or twice per game then today we win by 30 today

For those saying it wasn't good enough today, we need to consider where we've come from in the previous 3 years and where we were just a month or so ago, to where we are now.
We've beaten some top 8 favourites, and have had our best season (already) since 2019, we were battling to avoid the dreaded spoon and now a small chance of making the top 8.
Small steps, but all going forward.

We are definitely improving and we've had some guys really come on. I think we can do better though but to be fair it's much easier being an armchair quaterback then trying to turn the Tigers around.
