vs Manly Rd 6

[Philip_Smith007]

Chance to go 50/50 win and losses by getting a win today.
Manly dominate over us recently. Our 30% winning rate over all and 3 wins at home to 9 losses.
Warriors still favourite at TAB.
Home team should get this done in a close game
Manu out but DCE still out for Manly.
TL on the bench.

 

[Cold Roses]

I'm nervous.

I'm nervous.

Stats not nice
Not sure if I've seen Matulino forced back that far before?

 

[Philip_Smith007]

First penalty we give away in first set in defense

Plenty of gang tackling by Manly in the early stages. A few good offloads could punish them for that.

 

[Cold Roses]

Lolohea eyeing off Tapau in front of him and puts the ball down. Lazy grab.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Second penalty at 5 mim mark.
Gifts Manly out of their end.
After SJ smashes Walker, but Lolo knocks on and hands Tapau a try.
0-6

 

[Philip_Smith007]

3rd penalty at 9min, another gift!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

10mins 5 penalties.
Manly putting 4 into tackles, Lisone was smart to offload.
Pity Hoffman dummy half skills lacking!

 

[Blair]

Kata not passing again? Blown chance on Manly's line.

 

[Alan Johnson]

Jeez hold onto the ball guys.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Was looking nice, till Ayshford bangs it out.
Ayshford ankle squashed by Tapau.
And again we give away a penalty no.4

Good work by Tapau to dislodge the ball. Good positional play by Ayshford.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Kata not passing again? Blown chance on Manly's line.

He passed to Wright on inside.
How good is Lisones offloads!

 

[Cold Roses]

Christ I'd love to see someone with a bit of speed on that left wing.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Number 5 penalty, 2nd for Luke. High tackle.

 

[Cold Roses]

Ref pissed at us for getting his mate from last week demoted?

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Unbelievable lucky with Manly handling at the moment, if it was sticking they would be up by 18.

 

[Blair]

Sounds like we're giving territory away for freebies, DCE would be cashing in if he was on.

This game sounds worrying, Manly at 92% completion rate.

 

[Alan Johnson]

The hoodoo must be a significant psychological factor. It must be hard to go into the game with the knowledge that you almost always lose to this team.
