Round 1 - Eels v Manly

[strider]

Mannah is the concussion test champion!

I cant help but think maybe we do quite well from the concussion rule

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

They were all offside there

Agreed, it feels like Mannah goes off every game for one and is cleared each time.

 

[hineyrulz]

Was that a penalty for tackling too hard???

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

WTF penalty!!??

 

[hineyrulz]

Can't let them in before half time.

 

[hineyrulz]

Hoffman saved a try there.

 

[hineyrulz]

Green has a quality brain fart there.

 

[strider]

I like the look of that half

 

[El Diablo]

i have nfi why the ref stopped the game clock for that scrum

it defeats the point of the shot clock unless someone is injured and being attended to by a trainer

 

[hindy111]

I didnt. Manly had no ball and looked far more dangerous in attack.
Jennings looks slow, and forwards lacking punch. Alvaro really doesnt do it for me.
If we can win id say its due to Manly not holding onto ball.

 

[jk13]

Hopefully we keep going, can see turbo pulling something off in the 2nd

 

[Chipmunk]

Decent perormance in the first half with plenty to like, but also signs there of some defenive issues. Manly have given us plenty of chances.

We need to be better in this second half though if we're going to get the two points.

 

[Rhyno]

been a good effort so far

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

So far about what we expected really. Score flatters us slightly.

 

[Gronk]

Windscreens and Alvaro are not running straight like Tim and Matagi. Makes a huge difference in our sets.

 

[hindy111]

At $4.20 Manly great odds.

 

[Jake the snake]

Happy with the lead but dodged a bullet at the end there with Hoffman saving that try. Taka has made two bad reads in defence one leading to a try and then Hoffman saved him with that knock down.

Kaysa is doing ok IMO at 9. Love the one handed pick up and darts! Love brown but I think he needs to settle down with the offloads.

 

[hineyrulz]

Anyone else think we are missing IDG in the middle there???

 

[Gronk]

Hoffman is strong and a huge improvement on Gordon and Burrito on the wing.
