Well that sucked, though after 10mins I knew we were going to lose. In saying that our first half defense was very good, considering we had virtually no possession & had to defend on our own line for long periods of time & because of all this defense we had nothing left in attack. The 2nd half WAS bad, they just ran up the middle all 2nd half & made so many metres. Except for Shrek our forwards had nothing. Anasta tried his butt off & made some great try saving tackles. Mitchell tried hard but after the 1st knock to his head certainly slowed him down a bit, then he copped another trying to stop a try, that's when Freddy took him off. Minni played well considering 1st game back & we were getting smashed. I thought Sia's defense against Mattai was good as well. So in reality there a postives to come out of the game & as Gus said, "Men playing against Boys".
Also give Manly credit they played well, exploited the weakness & inexperience around the ruck, it also showed how far ahead Manly is to Parramatta. Manly have a team that has been playing together for nearly 3 years now, there hardened & tough. Ours is a team that is very young in the forwards & has been seen not quite upto it without the likes of Mason, Toups, Fitzy & Myles.
So cheer up everyone, it's a blimp on the radar, it's how the team reacts to this & backs up next week against the Panfers that will really show us what there made of & also we hopefully will have the 4 origin boys back.
The Roosters are officially our 'bitches'.
