Round 3 v Manly

[Crush]

Great start to the weekend!
Manly suck.

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

They win on Friday and I’ll be happy all weekend now

 

[SAP58]

I have been critical of Sims over the past couple of weeks but I am more thank happy to say he has certainly turned it around this week. Great game ran well into gaps a different player.

 

[Spazer]

Gotta love lawrie. Sims too had a great game.

Norman and Hunt had good games too, such a contrast to last year; very refreshing to see our halves be competitive. And Bird is looking like a good buy after all.

Was it Soward who held the previous points record of 22?

Could have been Amos.

 

[Dragon David]

A great win by us with minimal negatives for a change. We currently are in the top 8 - sitting 5th at the moment which looks fantastic when you see the ladder.

 

[Pro Dragons]

Paul Vaughan played well again tonight making some great runs. Very pleasing result and Jack Bird has certainly added to the backline in both attack and great defence.

Awesome win. Well done Lomax who has now kicked 22 straight and got himself 22 points tonight.
Well done everyone. Getting a little better each week, less mistakes, improving kicking game ( a whopping 811 kick metres ) and defending our line and our home ground like champions ( missed too many tackles but hey ). We should be well and truly in the 8 by the end of the round.

Kit.
100% agree - improvement every week and you can see it the way players are responding on the field.Love the way duffty is now following players and what a great inside ball from norman for his 2nd try !! And how great that dragon ball game plan has been thrown in the bin and elliott has done well as attack coach and gentle has also done well as defence coach . early in season but how good is it to see some attck and score whilst defending - OH WHEN THE SAINTS >...........

Lomax will just get better and better. He's worth his spot for his goal kicking alone. His defence is become flawless too bit by bit and I expect a slight drop off in his output while he minimises his errors before he becomes the best centre in the NRL.

Great win but let’s be honest Manly are a bottom 8 team. Next week against Newcastle will give us a better idea on how we are going.

Handling errors have improved & defence particularly on the edges is looking very solid. Hard working pack with great scrambling defence to pick each other up.

I was wrong about Hunt as captain it’s definitely lifted his game. Great decision by Hook.

Team looks in great sprits Hook has obviously lifted moral.

Rocks & diamonds from Norman & Dufty they need to improve to keep up.

Bird is getting better & better he’s turned out to be a very astute signing

 

[boardlumps62]

Gently gently we still drop the ball when not conentrating conentrating. That is the mind thinking ahead that can be adjusted. But how good is it to see some attack after prolonged periods of defence. I like.

Dufty was pretty awesome to be honest, scored two great tries from supporting the ball runner and saved a few too. Didn't drop one ball. He made one error which led to a try which wasn't terrible he got back there and batted it just mistimed it to Garrick. It was one of his better games imo. Norman was very average.

 

[Gareth67]

Greeeeat. result - ever so well done boys ! Captain Hook has finally entrenched some pride back into the players minds and jersey - “ I only want players here that wish to be here “ , well it seems that you have found them coach .

 

[6AGAIN]

Could have been Amos.

Yes, Amos Roberts scored 22.
I can still remember the day.

 

[jeffdragon]

Top win irrespective of Manly.
Norman was actually very good.
Credit where its due.
Look at the stats, their backs made so many metres but not their pack.
Was feeling comfortable once we kicked that penalty goal.
We can bt the knights.
I will definitelly enjoy my weekend

Amos Soward and Widdop

Against Melbourne right? Amos was wasted potential he could have been a international player

 

[SAP58]

Isn’t it great to look forward to watching your team play each weekend because they are passionate & want to play for each other but more importantly they have pride in the Red V.

 

[St Tangles]

How good is it to get a good lead and keep it
Normally on edge until the full time whistle goes
