Round 21 vs Bulldogs

[chrisD]

McKendry went good, Docker a decent game which is good as we'll need him with Taylor gone. Brown ok, rest of the forwards blah. Segs and Moylan good, Soward disappointing again Smith non existent. A win but not much in it to give faith, dogs were trash.

McKendry's best game since his neck injury. Thank Christ for Segs & Moylan.

Played very well for 20 minutes and it was enough.

Whilst the dogs have been terrible, you guys have done the job. Segeyaro and Moylan are your X factor. For your sake hopefully Kite has played his last top grade game for the season.

Kite still has another year to run but we would be best to pay him out and give him the next year off as an early retirement. Although I still think the dogs were very unlucky with the video ref in the first half, we did well to come away with a win with no Wallace and losing ET and Carty. Hopefully that should give the boys some confidence going into the last few rounds and secure us a finals spot.

1. Moylan3. Whare
6. Soward
9. Segeyaro
12. Cartwright


That is an excellent basis for a team. They were our standouts (Whare excepted, who was average). McKendry much better. Brown looks better when he just scoots straight and direct.


Clocked off like our reserve graders do though. Top teams need to be more ruthless.

Yeah Mckendry was good. Besides the kicking game I thought Soward went alright..Moylan ang Seggy did well Docker aswell. Injuries f**k! Lucky we stocked up on backrowers.

Segeyaro is pretty much our best player, and the heart of the team at the moment. Wouldn't trade him for anyone.

That's the one silver lining; we get to see whether BMM or similar have what it takes.

Agree Kite was shite. McKendry on the other hand really lifted in this game.

Idris looked better tonight, maybe some confidence with Mansour his winger next to him?

happy with the win but seriously we should have kept the doggies to 1 or 2 tries max.

It was a disappointing way to finish but still very happy to come away with 2 points.

Kite is shite and always has been, a gun Manly team made the pillow look good

Injury report per press conference.

Kite - Pec Injury - May be torn
Cartwright - High ankle sprain
Taylor - ACL gone for year

You'd think logical replacements would be:

Kite --> Grant/Anderson
Cartwright --> Robinson or Idris to backrow with Blake in centre
Taylor --> Yeo

We had 1 bloke on the bench for 20 minutes. Was bound to happen.

 

[umina panther]

I hope we are all on the same page hoping this injury forces Kite to retire?

 

[greynurse]

I am a bit concerned how we couldn't finish them off. Saying that McKendry was awesome his play the balls were so quick . Brown really stepped up when taylor went off.Segs was at his best and welcome back Mansour another forward for sure. Smith played well but that ball to Taylor I know your nervous but to put him under that pressure wasn't great. At least we make Joey and Kent eat there words.

 

[Blues Riff]

I think we were coasting after Moylan's try sealed the game. No need to get bashed up for the sake of it. I'm not too worried about the finish. We dominated the game when it mattered. A Panther fan's gotta be happy with that win.
For this week at least, the trolls and death-riders can EAT SHIT.

 

[martielang]

People are honestly complaining about that win? f**k me, that'll do me. We werent fluent by any stretch of the imagination but given the circumstances, it was an extremely tough display and one to be proud of.

Great debut by Smith, worked himself into the game and you could see him gaining confidence with every touch.

Our whole front row rotation did a cracking job tonight. Against a pack that size, to at least match them up the middle was an awesome effort. Kite included.

 

[MrAnonymous]

Smith got tore up tonight in defense, He's gotta fix that shit if he wants to be a first grader. All those try's at the end were his defensive errors.

Was good to see the old McKendry back tonight, ran hard, hit hard.

Tbh Bulldogs were pretty unlucky if those try's were given it would of been a completely different game, which I think we would of lost. Oh well not complaining.
