Match Discussion: Round 18 vs Manly @ 4 Pines Park, Brookvale

[Yosh]

Where was the high tackle there?

 

[Tom155]

Cmon that’s a really soft penalty

 

[Yosh]

Are we putting on pressure with our defense? Where has this been all season?

 

[Tom155]

Seems like they are targeting Dom on his runs

 

[Jono078]

Fair to see this has been our best half since round 1?

We're resembling a team that is competing on every play.

 

[Yosh]

We used to do crash plays after crash plays. It didn't work out but at least we're not just trying crash plays.

 

[perverse]

So what I am liking the most about today, regardless of the result, is that Ponga has clearly taken Slaters advice on board and is running the ball before worrying about passing.

He should write it all over the walls of his house and the dressing sheds. Just run, Kalyn... the pass will come.

 

[Jono078]

Oh no I think Young injured himself there?

 

[Yosh]

Frizzell was tripped!!!!

 

[Tom155]

Gagai getting beat by Davey smh

The thing I'm liking as well is he is getting on top with his runs, he's rarely getting dominated like a rag doll. Goes to show how hard he is to stop when he puts the hammer down.

Gagai is traaaaash. His defence is the main reason I never wanted to see him back here.

He's never going to be one to win in direct contact, but he's using his elusiveness well to make sure contact isn't direct.

 

[Jono078]

Lucky break for us there. Could have easily been considered out on the full.

 

[Loose Cannon]

How have we not signed that brain?

 

[Jono078]

Why the bunker jumping in so much? What happened to the captains challenge?

 

[perverse]

Love that play. Didn't come off, but trying things.

 

[Jono078]

I'm almost tempted to hook Tuala for Sasagi..

 

[macavity]

Soft sin bin

so soft

 

[Tom155]

Down a man going into the 2nd half
