Beau knows how to f**k up

A headline for the DT tomorrow involving the kick-off tee.

 

[Jason Maher]

Hate when a side can't crack the line to save themselves but keep their heads above water by scoring from kicks

Get over it. Kicking is part of the game. Both of DCE's try assist kicks have been very skilful and perfectly placed. A whole different kettle of fish to bomb and hope.

Pretty poor game for a final.

 

[WOTBEH]

boring game, the NRL should fine them both 10k

 

[Jason Maher]

And Manly have earned the field position with very good lead up play. "Manly can only score from kicks" is to miss the point by the width of Sydney Harbour.

 

[typicalfan]

Doesn't matter how you score them when it is sudden death.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Get over it. Kicking is part of the game. Both of DCE's try assist kicks have been very skilful and perfectly placed. A whole different kettle of fish to bomb and hope.

Nevertheless Manly still can't score through the hands within the first 5 tackles, which really should be 99% of our game.

Again not clinical without Stewart but we got to find a spot for hiku next year. The kid oozes first grade.

Stewart is now a broken machine. I would keep Hiku at FB, if not, throw him on the wing - he's a better play than Faioso & wolf.

Pretty poor game for a final.

You have to compensate the fact that Manly had a dour game last week and a couple of Cronulla players,especially Ben Pomeroy,have been gifting Manly possession.

The half-time break will do more favours for the Sharks than Manly as the Shark simply need a bit of settling down talk from the coach.

The Sharks play as smart as Manly did in the first half,they should get this and runaway with it in the final 15 minutes.

If they continue to play without foresight and patience,all will be lost...and this goes for both sides.

 

[typicalfan]

Stewart is still more classy in the attacking end.

Pfft. Attacking kicks have always been part of our game. The point is to score points, not to score points only off the first 5 tackles and never from a kick.

Also, give Cronulla some credit for their scrambling defence.

 

[ragzouken]

fken biased half time bullshit.

for obvious reasons, you have to excuse Manu for his dislike for kicks..... :lol:

 

[Gmac]

To be fair, I think cronulla have played well. This is anyone's game especially if we start feeling sore and tierd from last week.

 

[DJShaksta]

Sharks lacking some last tackle polish. Our kicks have been rubbish.
Fix that up and we're right in this.

 

[Aragorn]

second half will be huge if Cronulla can step up.

Manly dont look as sharp this week - they were nearly beaten to death last week. Their body and conditioning must be sore.

Hit them hard - and with speed - thats how they scored the first try, and thats how they can score the next.

 

[typicalfan]

Sharks don't have a lot of points in them imo. Manly get to 20 and they win.

 

[GongPanther]

That is the feeling in the pit of my stomach at this moment.

Ever since that game against Easts,I just can't see Manly having any energy left after 60 minutes.
