Match Discussion: Round 5 vs Manly @ Glen Willow Regional Stadium, Mudgee

[K-Man]

Hmmm that’s ordinary defence purely for the fact Turbo was always going to get that ball on the blind side and we didn’t react quickly enough.

But you would have taken 16-16 after the abysmal start.

Miller having some game with defence

A few of his first halves have been shaky this year. There's a lot of rough edges in his game.

I'll back him to come out and have a good 2nd half.

Brodie Jones great tackle attempt on the kickoff, and he's fresh on the field.

DOM!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jono078]

That was slick as f**k!

 

[Tom155]

Another fight back

Loving it

 

[perverse]

Oh that was beautiful. Hastings is everything to this team.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Beautiful. How good is a real halfback?

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Isn't it nice having a smart halfback?

 

[K-Man]

How good is having a halfback that’s actually a halfback. Hastings isn’t flashy but he sure is crafty and clinical.

 

[Jono078]

I really really want to know what AOB changed this off-season. What are we putting this down to? Is it the addition of the new spine players or has there been a focus on playing some footy? I mean obviously Hastings and Miller have been great at distributing the ball.

 

[Apey]

Again Croker is doing great.

 

[slotmachine]

There were two situations so far (Manly coming out super hard, Fitz sin bin) where old knights just give up.

I like these new knights a lot more

 

[Jono078]

If you told me before the game we'd put 22 points on Manly in the first 35 minutes I would have laughed in your face I reckon.

 

[perverse]

You know, if Hastings plays this well against all his old clubs, that's a lot of good games of footy every year.

 

[Spot On]

Hastings and Miller - wow.

Great to have a halfback with brains, skill and vision.

 

[Jono078]

This could be a turning point. Perhaps unlucky here but now it comes off as a bad play.

 

[perverse]

Hastings is just absolutely carving up Manly's left edge. Having a field day over there.

 

[Jono078]

Come on, one more try for the half! Keep up the beautiful play boys!

 

[Jono078]

Gamble has made so many half-breaks. I reckon he'll break through at least once in the second half.
