Round 1 - Eels v Manly

[The Phelan Folly]

Solid enough. Our contact in the tackle has been okay & caused a few spilt pills. Need to regroup & punch the line a bit more. Wanna see cranky franky get a run about 15 into the second half.

Oh & looks like the guth bus can kick a goal?

 

[Gronk]

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

No but Id like KP to look for the sneaky yards more often.

 

[strider]

I dont know why people are so down on us ... i think its been fairly even and we are up by 8 .... got to brooky with a brand new manly team round 1 was always gonna be tough ... leading by 8 at halftime is good ffs

 

[Eelogical]

Good effort intermixed with some rusty passes. Either out attack becomes crisper or we need a team of Inspector Gadgets to haul in those misdirected passes.

I think ill have a nibble at the 4.20.

Agree and some are saying that we've been lucky, but the turnovers have been due to pressure.

Agree ... his defense is massive for us ... kaysa is doing fine, but idg is one of our defensive stalwarts

 

[hineyrulz]

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

Yep, he's already made some big plays.

Just think we have to show more patience in their 20.

I know I'm down on IDG but his defence is still first class. Kaysa while willing isn't even close ATM.

Manly with little ball had looked far more dangerous. Our tries have been both lucky and not properly constructed.
Havent seen any inroads from our team. And attacks been worse then i imagined.
Forwards been tough in defense but bar Manu the hit ups have been soft.

If we walk away with 2 points id be happy but we arent doing a lot.

Hell yeah ... i wanna see cranky franky!

I play odds. To me its a 50-50 so happy to take the 4.20.

 

[Bandwagon]

Completions win round one, hang on to the ball and the job is done. If we continue to complete, Manly won't even up possession and we will win.
