Rd21: Manly v Parra GAME DAY THREAD @ 4 Pines Park 5/8/22

[strider]

JA kicking has been dissapointing

Was viewed as one of his strengths and something we needed in the halves with Moses out. Considering he is well below par in every other facet of first grade, we really need to let the kid play out reserves this year, and work on his agility, athletisicm and speed in the off season

My heart in my mouth every time they kick to Sivo

Who would kick better? ... gutho? He has never had a particularly good kicking game either

Drown puts in 2 shit cross field kicks to the tallest player in Manlys side... Crickets.

Blake and Penisini doing what they have done all season in defence.. Crickets

Eels fans

One of those Drown kicks resulted in a drop out. Repeat sets are a good thing mate.

You obviously don’t read very well because heaps on here have been giving it to Blake.

3 inept slo motion kicks from our 7. The time given to the pressure chasers from manly on him is ridiculous. Pressure or not, im sure the resulting kick would be same.

I've never seen anyone catch, set and kick as slowly. On top of that they've been 3 inept kicks straight to centre positioned defenders and 1 too long. Sigh. Anyway the resident data cruncher will soon emerge with stats to prove im wrong.

100% completions in a half of footy is great but our right defence is ridiculously brittle. Can’t see us out scoring them if possession is reasonably even. Every time they throw it left they look like scoring. Let’s see how adaptable BA’s tactics are.

not sure it’s even a tactic. All you need to do is tell the team to stop compressing so much and man up on the edges.

At this rate Saab May set a record and run for 300 plus metres.

I agree Waqa Blake! Terrible

Sorry I was talking about Jake Arthur. So slow. A sloth moves quicker. Blake is having a shocker too

It's our edge defence that worries me. A good start will make that a lot easier though.

Right and right.

You don't read real well because apparently JA turning in is causing Blake to play the same way he has all season....

Maybe whinge about the 150 game player then...

Rinse and Repeat!!!!!!

We were looking like scoring every time we headed left too - until some dumb f**k decided to do a mid-field bomb with no chasers (which wasn't even on the last tackle I don't think?), which cost us a try and all the momentum we had built.

I don't think our LH defence have been introduced to each other, they look like they're all f**king strangers.

 

[Tooooks]

4 LB for Saab and 150m+

I’ve been saying for 2 years that Waqa is the dumbest player on our team. JA is just the most incompetent.

 

[oldmancraigy]

So who was to blame when he wasn't playing. Been seeing it all year.

It's normally bad on our right edge defensively, but it is a cake walk so far tonight. They are desperately unlucky not to have scored another 3 or 4 down there.

You mean right side don’t you?

What do you mean they are shaking each other hands when the ball is passed out to their side of the field!

Joel Reddy > Penisini

Green and gold joel was underrated

 

[84 Baby]

With our poor kicking, our fifth tackle PTBs have been awful, which means we’re just bombing uncontested to Garrick. Need to improve that too

 

[IFR33K]

let’s see if we can man up this half.
