Game Day vs Sea Eagles

[Peach & Apricot]

I hope Manly re-sign Woods for 3 more years.

I also thought there were a couple of occasions to go for the one point that would have made sense in the final 15 minutes.

It was said that we were down on troops, missing 3 props but the guys out there did what needed to be done. I expected more from the Manly forwards who I thought might run through the middle of us but they were effectively negated.

Did people enjoy the Aaron Woods hospital pass ?

Honestly at that point I expected a penalty to them for Hunt tackling Keppie before he got the ball.

Imagine if we lost.

 

[carinashark]

Well he has had plenty of practice. Perfected it at the Dragons.

Surprised authorities weren’t knocking on your door with 5 mins to go.

 

[Quigs]

5minutes to go I knew I was stressed out. Just sitting there wondering what will happen next.

 

[R-15-3]

Big powerful Royce Hunt stood up with so many middles out with a massive 4 or 5 hit ups. ( different stats on different sites )
I know our backs take most of our hit ups but f**k me.

 

[Generalzod]

3 in a row that must be a new world record. lol

Anyone else get the impression Fitzy really wanted to say a few things in the press conference but knew there'd be a fine.

I wasn't surprised he kept it short and sweet, the less said the better.

He said enough to get the message across and will go through the official channels. No surprise the Raiders have had a golden run since Ricky blew a gasket. The time to make your point is after a win.

I don't think it was Fitz that cut it short, the media just decided not to ask any more questions. Probably not wanting to encourage a situation where Fitz might unload on Klein.

I thought his answers were a bit more clipped than usual, but may have been affirmation bias

There was intent in his answers. Words to the effect of, first half we earned the right to have more possession. Second half we had no possession due to penalties but we defended well.

 

[shadowboxer]

Watched the second half and whilst some decisions late were dumbfounding, we were always in control. Wasn’t any panic and pretty well a training run. Take the 2 points and move on.
I don’t get the commentators and the pants creaming every time Turbo is around - he is obviously busted and at a cross roads.
Hope he puts his hand up and sits origin out, otherwise Fittler will pick him with blinkers on

I wondered if turbo's late set hit ups were a bit of stat padding so his metres looked good. He was pretty well unsighted otherwise

I was thinking exactly the same. He took so many tackle 5 runs - I thought it was to avoid having to kick chase.

Interesting that they rarely use him out the back in shifts. He plays much more through the middle. He is a top player when fit but it's been a while since he was at full fitness.
