Well, where to start? There's almost too many things to list.
Off the top of my head, 3 players on report: Foran, Kite & Rose. Even though the first two were accidental (the player was falling), Rose's one had a bit of malice in it, though his player was falling too. So.....Probably all will be missing next week.
As much as I'd love to see T-Rex do well, I realise now he doesn't have the speed to play in the backline yet. Although he did plenty of good things and deserves to hold his spot in the 17, but perhaps on the bench as an interchange forward. With the number of players out though, he might have one more week.
At 20-4 with 20min to go you'd like to think they would've had the composure to do what they had to and get the win. However to be fair Manly aren't the first, nor will they be the last to be run down by the Tigers
About the only positive coming out of tonights game is that the team is certain to change next week.
So....No B.Stewart or D.Williams(injured), Foran, Kite and Rose(suspended)...then that leaves...
1.Farrar, 2.Robertson, 3.Matai, 4.Whare, 5.T.Williams, 6.Lyon, 7.Hodkinson, 13.Stewart, 12.Rodney, 11.Watmough, 10.Perry, 9.Ballin, 8.King Res. Seu Seu, Cross, Bailey & Palau
With no Brett I just hope Des can finally do the right thing and NOT move Robbo to fullback.
Anyway, it's only round 1.
