Garrick...apology

[Jay Eagle]

I will be the first to apologise to the Sandwich... has not looked back since the scathing criticism he copped after the first 4 rounds where he was simply awful, down on confidence , battered in attack, woeful defence looking like a pub player he just looked disinterested
But today he closed that door well and truly behind him.

great game and great last 6/7 weeks

 

[JenEagle]

He was amazing today. That in and away on fergo was spectacular.

 

[Technical Coach]

Garrick does have his good points and is generally safe, also does well at times when he picks his runs centrally filling in at fullback.

In saying that he does bomb some tries and being so tall he is not always as effective as a low to the ground leg drive player when it comes for yardage returns when we need it.

I do think at the back end of the season Manly need more consistent quality strong go forward beyond Tom saving a poor set of six with thrust around the ruck and middle.

 

[eaglebuzz]

He had good and bad moments today but definitely one of his better games for us.

Yep I thought he was gone at the end of the year - he has been superb the last 6 weeks.

Good to see him in open space today to showcase his pace! Prob the best game I've seen him play...

Still bombed atleast one try... doesn't back himself for the corner dive (like most modern wingers these days)... needs to work on adding that to his arsenal!

Cronk didn’t think he was that fast obviously never watched him in action when he first played for us.

To be fair Ferguson hit him at 60 kph during his dive.

As I said in the other thread, GREAT DAY with the boot Rueben, THANK YOU.

 

[pt73]

Am I being too suspicious to think that the Eels deliberately set off the half time siren as he was taking the conversion ?

 

[Eagle thru 'n' thru]

Garrick's pace up the sideline before kicking the ball infield for Parker's 2nd try was electric.

Sorry Reuben.

Yep.

 

[Remy]

He had a great game. His goalkicking has gotten so much better as well.

Needs to watch To'o

Agree it was good defence from fergo on that near try. Fergo got him prior to the tryline, not really a bombed try in my view.

If you check the replay - I am sure he stood on the sideline just before and should have been a play the ball not a 20 metre tap

If the home club is in charge of the siren that has to change immediately. Even if it was a neutral official they should be reprimanded sacked and no dessert for a month.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I’ve eaten my words.

Sorry Rueben.

 

[KaZa]

I eat my words too. He seems back to his first season form and showed great pace. Even his goal kicking is better. Well played . Keep it up
