Match Discussion: Round 9 vs Manly @ 4 Pines Park, Brookvale

[benched tiger]

Agree, he is quick and has great defence, though probably never played centre before?

True, but watching Gildart one would assume he has never played centre before too.

Haha, probably never had big bopper centres running at him all match, he tries but agree though, he doesn't seem to have worked out for us?

 

[Tigerm]

I think Jacko will be up for this one? Just don't think it will be enough, but stranger things have happened.

Bit of luck he snaps DCE

 

[BrotherJim05]

No Lucy or Nofa...no chance. Our forwards will put up a good fight but once Turbo injects himself he will tear our outside backs a new asshole. Everything points towards Manly destroying us.

Tigers upset in golden point

It's like a mirror image of last year. Turbo comes back from injury and puts on a clinic. I don't think I have stomach to watch this one.

I can’t remember an injury hit season like this before. We get Ken, Simpkin and Stef back, lose Luc and Nofa FMD

And of course it’s the week Turbo comes back. You can’t make this shit up.

We’ll be gritty and stay in it but can’t see where the points come from

 

[benched tiger]

We just lack a bit of polish and class out wide to finish teams off,Manly have some strike out wide that will hurt us especially with Turbo back.One thing Manly do well is keep in the fight regardless of the scoreline which will test our boys if they clock off.

 

[Tiger Ted]

Our best hope is turbo breaks down early in match but with our luck if he were to break down it would be late in match after he has single handedly pulverised us.

I’ve lost count over the yrs as to how many gun opposition players have returned against us after a lengthy injury lay-off & had mom games against our mentally fragile team

Please supporters stop feeling sorry for yourselves and inviting excuses anticipating a loss. My expectations are this:

1. When Turbo runs if you get a good shot on him first defender hits low around the knee area.2nd contact chest high. Throughout the game.
2. Remind Manly they are not that good.
3.Play football. Test Manly across the park.
4. Play with the same commitment they have displayed over the last 3 weeks.

Thats it.....do this a bit of luck we MIGHT win.

I think that's #5 in the WT 10 Commandments.

Yeah last year keeps coming back to me too....hard to get confident

 

[Tiger05]

It's not looking promising is it.

 

[Ned Kelly]

They are playing really well but I'm worried it's one of those days when everything goes against us.

 

[Ned Kelly]

It's not looking promising is it.

Not for this game but taking a giant leap forward it's looking promising for a better year next year. I'm already dreaming top 8 in 2023 if we have better luck with injuries.

 

[innsaneink]

Who was the bludger walking when Ben Trbnoevic scored? Tiulagi?

 

[innsaneink]

Sorry it was musgrave

 

[Ned Kelly]

The Tigers have put so much energy into this half with things not going thier way ( two players down) I expect Manly will start to run away with this. Not a criticism just a reality.

 

[macnaz]

Oh well tried hard
