Ditto. A marked improvement by the kid, specially in his defensive attitude. Harsh call by Flanagan to hook him in those atrocious handling conditions. His confidence level probably dropped a niche or two after he was told that. I had figured it was a tactical move by the coach. Still he is back in his preferred position for this game.
the 2 worst games i have ever seen from sloan have been in the rain. On the weekend and then i think last year against sharks at shark park, perhaps the year prior. Surely we could organise some blokes holding hoses up and ben hunt kicking to him at training to improve him on it? other than last week i have been stoked with his form this year lots of improvement
Agree with you on everything except for Hunt kicking, I'd rather the ball boy do it !!!!
Well it's gonna be either Luc or Su'a. Either way, it'll be a loooong day for him
I would never death ride the club but hearing the way Ben used to talk ab him in pressers, especially as a young bloke... oh, I wouldn't mind him showing up ole benny boy. Still want the win though
Did they match up in the trails ?
Early ball to our edges is a rare sight. Hunt's personal goal for the game should be to give Kyle more ball in the attacking zone. Kyle is much better at using Sua and Suli effectively.
Bud played on the right and Sezer on the left. So should be Leilua running at Bud.
Kyle on the left will go against Bud on the right.
Yeah they did, but trials barely have enough venom compared to regular FG matches. Speaking of venom, I was watching highlights of manly v tigers last night in 2009, and I really miss how simple footy was back then. As tommy raudonikis would say, 'just go out there and f**ken hit em'
Yeah KW I often watch the old games, simple footy without all the crap, I suppose money and being totally professional, fitter faster stronger, its not simple footy anymore and never will be.
I'd be satisfied with a 3-3 record, but I'm not satisfied with some of our performances.
It's less about win/loss ratio (although that's very important) than the confidence and consistency we want to get from our team as fan. Tuning in or rocking up each week hoping we suck a little less than the week before is getting tiring. I find it so unfulfilling as someone who followed closely through the 90s and saw average teams on paper be in and amongst the action most years if not in a grand final. Though weak on quality we are still a confidence team that can trouble any team on our day. The confidence the team have in themselves comes and goes all too much, just as it has the last 10 years. In a good game we are very patchy as a unit and in the bad games we are a rabble.
