I don't understand Kearney's tactics here. Why have Moi Moi and Mannah played the entire second half when they look out on their feet and have two props on the bench?

 

[skeepe]

Hayne has been awful again.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Fair enough Manly wasting time, but the game needs better clock management rules.

 

[no name]

Burt bombs it again.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Hayne has been awful again.

That's what happens when you're forced to play the best fullback in NSW out of position.

Anyway next year he's got some halves to feed him the ball. He'll be back to his linebreaking best. Like you saw in Origin.

NSW Cup next year. Same place Chris Hicks should be playing.

Did Poore get on in the end? I'm just looking at the stats, not watching.

Not that I saw. Allgood barely got any time as well, and Moi Moi and Mannah were out on their feet. Strange bench management by Kearney.

 

[Oldboy]

The way the Eels have played today and 2 weeks ago sure does make their opposition look good last week...

Yeah...you guys are going to win the comp. Champ or chump? Pffft...

Weird. I know the bloke's been out for a long time but its not like he's a rookie or unable to handle heat.

 

[Cletus]

Thank god for Hicksy, what a dreadful performance by Manly.

By the time Kearney would have wanted to bring him on, we were chasing points and needed better attacking front-rowers on the field.

Tim Mannah and Fui might've been rooted but they're our only hope of getting enough momentum to maybe jag a try or a penalty.

 

[Beachy Eagle]

geez manly were pretty ordinary for most of that, para out enthused them for probably 55 or 60 minutes.
Without sounding like a whinger (but im sure i will be accused of it) some of the refs decisions in favour of parra were amazing, what was the penalty count 7-2 or something and the knock on's and dropped balls missed.... wow.
No excuses though, parra seemed to want it more just couldn't finish us off.....

Fui I agree with, Mannah not so much. Allgood has been outperforming him the last few weeks IMO.

We played some terrible football as well, I thought Parra played slightly worse. That Cherry Evans try to Stewart was all class though.

Thank you very much Manly, appreciate the win tonight.

Thank you very much Manly, appreciate the win tonight.

Should thank Parra for gifting it to us.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Should be thanking Paul Carige for running out for the second half in the number 19 jersey.

 

[bartman]

...and the number 6 jersey :roll:

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The difference is Hayne's mistakes aren't any kind of argument for dropping him.

We saw him f**k up. We know why it happens. We might be better off without him in the 6 jersey but no way in hell we'd be better off without him in the team.

You can't say that about Chris 'Carige' Hicks.
