3,2,1 v Broncos

[Cold Roses]

3 - Mannering Great Captains knock
2 - Neilson Great defensive effort. Shut down Hodges more than a few times.
1 - Lillyman Best game of his season

Special Mention to Johnson for his good defensive effort, despite what everyone else on here is saying about him.

points to manu? not sure about that - he still managed to fumble and drop a couple of balls in his hit ups - luckily they went backwards. In addition, he was caught out a few times in the grubber kicks that were put behind him....

no doubt hes solid where you would expect him to be, but f**k me, he's still weak in certain facits of his game that you would expect some improvement on.

So he dropped the ball. Backwards.

And are you blaiming the try where Prince grubbered the ball behind him for the winger to score on him?

I thought you'd got a little better. But you're back...

anyone heard about Manu's injury ?

 

[JoeD]

The grubber that got passed manu was a kick on 2nd or 3rd tackle which is a hail mary kind of play that came off. Every winger in the comp would get caught out there.

It was a great play, not at all hail Mary. Wing defender had no chance as the kick was pinpoint perfect. Locke had no chance either but man he was miles from the action, somewhere near the posts when it was unfolding...

Yes, true. I don't agree that it was a hall mary. Tremendous skill from Prince and the Broncos winger (forget his name).

But it really had nothing to do with Manu getting 'caught out' or whatever

Maybe Hail Mary was wrong choice of words. Kicking on 2nd when your team has been under pressure for opening stint of match definitely falls into the category of a 'high risk, high reward' play.

Would probs ly have been called a bloody stupid play if it had ended up gifting us possession, such plays often are.

it doesnt take tremendous skill to grubber a ball behind a winger. nor is it a hail mary play.

Attacking teams ALWAYS have the option of kicking in behind the defensive line like that. Any competent defensive line is going to move up and any winger sprinting on to a kick is going to be able to outsprint the opposition winger who has to turn around and start from scratch.

If executed perfectly that play is basically impossible to defend. Nevertheless it's a high risk, high reward play because if it goes wrong you've handed over possession early in the tackle count.

Anyone who has watched a bit of league should be able to see that.
