Was at game - sat in the Fulton stand - it's exactly what Kogarah needs on both ends. Elevated and close to ground.
We had so many opportunities to win the game especially in the first half.
Key points
Sloan is not the right option for fullback. As Paul Kent always says - he is always one step behind where he needs to be. Manly's fullback (little Hoppa) playing only his 3rd game - is a fantastic player. Great defender as well.
The Lomax brain-fade pass in our 20m changed the momentum of the game.
Our kicking game sucked - as usual.
We should have taken the two points just before the first half.
Frankie Molo had a big impact and good game.
Leilua has at least one bad decision/error in every game.
Late 2nd half Manly out-muscled us with 3 players short??
For me the end result of the game was an accumulation of all the fantastically dumb things we did during the game. It's like this bunch of air headed morons thought a big win over the Tigers finally meant they were contenders. Um, no.
The dumb JDB offload. Moronic stuff. 2 weeks in a row trying to put himself in the shop window with brain dead plays. He can piss off to Souffs.
The Lomax flick pass that was just not needed - what we were going to gain if it came off? Another 2 metres?
Not taking the kick for goal with a few minutes left before half time. What happened the week before we knocked back an easy 2 points just before half time? Yep they never learn.
Poor Flanno is never going to get anywhere until he can remove the "dumb" from this football team.
Then add on the general play failures ---->> Lawrie coming on and instantly killing momentum.
Where was RFM?
At least three bombed tries - two from Lomax. First one unforgivable for a rep level winger.
And finally our marquee man - Mr Ben Chunt - who has a kicking game that wouldn't trouble an SG Ball side. Couldn't game manage a game of Uno.
As someone else said earlier in the thread, swap halfbacks for each team and we probably win this game.
