Match Discussion: Round 25 vs Manly @ Leichhardt Oval, Lilyfield / Wanngal

[Nutz]

Staines to fullback ASAP !!

Mason is not a fullback. No physical presence. Good try though.

Pole has redeemed himself just before half time

He’s a half always has been got great hands, good step.

Shit tonight. Too small. He'll never play half in NRL unless Galvin, or a thousand other halves that we'll have next year get injured.

 

[Nutz]

16-12, bloody miracle. Eagles ill discipline is hurting them.

Pole has redeemed himself just before half time

He's getting some real sting in his game. Stephano..."NOW you get it?! ....great"

 

[Ned Kelly]

Dear God, if the Tigers win this one I will believe in you.
I promise.
And I'll be good from now on. This time I mean it.

Stefano actually plays well which sucks dogs balls.
Mason was terrible at the start and he has flaws but he scored.
Staines with some shithouse plays.

We are actually in this game though despite how shit they were for a chunk of it.

I wish we'd kept Papalli. He does a job in the middle. I reckon they let him go because they thought Stef might stay.

I've been wondering about that...I'll be surprised if he hangs around too long. I can see him ending up at the GC or Knights sooner than later

Overall I think we've gone pretty good tonight after a poor start, letting in 3 easy tries. We've muscled up and kept manly down their end. Something we always struggle with. Manly have been their own worst enemy though.

Made plenty of metres up the guts in attack and have playing the ball very quickly using the Penrith / touch footy method, which I was hoping they'd start employing. Even that pea hearted pillow Stefano is having a red hot go.

We're just lacking a bit of polish in attack, which I guess you'd expect from a very young team.

 

[Ned Kelly]

Brooks must think he is still a Tiger the way he is playing. Bog average. Hope he keeps it up.

The Knights have that gun kini at the back but their halves are a nightmare. How many combos have they used. Maybe Mason takes the ex Tigers spotthere..forgot his name doh!

Yep...I meant as a half
Or maybe a Foran replacement

 

[Nutz]

Yep...I meant as a half

Had to google it, it's Gamble who he might have a chance to replace Hastings is on the outer too.

 

[Pezz70]

We need to play straight while they’re down to 12

 

[Pezz70]

Latu cracking ball to Seyfarth

 

[Pezz70]

Peter Goff has been our best player tonight. MOM

 

[Nutz]

Oh yeh baby, it's a Fianu festival.

 

[Tiger Ted]

Our teenage halves are unbelievable.

 

[Pezz70]

Well that was pretty good, lost our way a bit in the last 30 minutes, noticed the difference with Sezer off in terms of tempo and management. But credit where credits due the young blokes did a great job.
