Match Discussion: Round 16 vs North Qld @ McDonald Jones Stadium

[PhilGould]

Another example of Dom being a right side player

Jesus, sending Tuala at JT13 is a bit brutal for him, lol.

 

[Tom155]

Couple of basic errors, don’t let them back in it please

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Gotta give Sue credit. Lots of early hit ups and he's straight back after that knock aiming up in defence.

 

[perverse]

Yep, a bit of dumb starting to set in for the past 5 minutes. Half time would be nice to reset us.

 

[Knight Tales]

Walking a fine line with these set restarts.

 

[Jono078]

Great work Mann out there shutting that down. Refreshing.

 

[Tom155]

Hunt saves the day with a great tackle

 

[slotmachine]

Try saver Hunt

 

[Willie Ray]

great tackle Hunt!

 

[perverse]

That was so much better in defence than we've dished up this year. We're up for it big time, some great efforts in that set.

 

[Knight Tales]

Mann defending like he is Matt Cooper tonight.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

We keep saying we want experience in the backs. Mann hasn't played much at Centre but he's experienced as a player. It's showing with some good defensive reads.

 

[PhilGould]

Great half.

Can't put the cue in the rack though, a 20 point lead can vanish very quickly in V'landys NRL.

Great 1st half.

We keep saying we want experience in the backs. Mann hasn't played much at Centre but he's experienced as a player. It's showing with some good defensive reads.

It's his best game since the first few rounds, no doubt.

 

[Zoidberg]

Very happy with that 1st half.
Had control over all but the last 5 mins and then, we defended well with good scramble.
Need to come out in the 2nd and just repeat what we did and dominate.

 

[ryana87]

So who gets dropped when best is fit?

You would like to say Tuala..... But you think young gets dropped and Tuala gets shifted to wing

 

[Knight Tales]

We keep saying we want experience in the backs. Mann hasn't played much at Centre but he's experienced as a player. It's showing with some good defensive reads.

With the side at full strength Mann can function well cos he can focus on his best asset. His defence. He made some big tackles in that half. Best and Mann centres with Dom right wing and shift Hymel left.

 

[Jono078]

Great first half. Some scrappy things as you’d expect but what a base we have to build from now.

wanna give credit to Barnett, thought he ran tough and took some extremely difficult balls and held onto them.

Also pleasing going in with the job, in previous years we’d run out to a 12-0 lead, be well on top, then go into half time down 16-12.

Must go on with it in the second 40!
