Post-Game Discussion Souths v Manly [Round 8, 2022]

[Disco]

we were splitting hairs between errors and discipline. Conceding penalties and giving away set restarts are errors the team made. And manly makes the most unfortunately.

Yes......but let us split our hairs hahaha

The send off can be justified it did look bad , it was a tackle that went wrong in the end , Any other weekend it’s not a send off , All the talk about what’s a send off and what’s not this week I believe contributed to that send off

It used to be my signature tackle in the late 60’s that I got many pats on the back for but that was then now it’s a send off offence and I can’t disagree ... it’s a dangerous tackle and I can’t see him getting less than a month for it

 

[Rackets]

Former storm player/referee scam smith actually defending Lawton saying should've been a sin bin. It was just a good tackle gone wrong

 

[skull61]

Don’t agree. He’s got heart and size and he puts in. Yes he’s got a bit to learn but effort wins games. He’s got that in spades - just like his brothers.

This but he gets beaten too easily on the outside back to Reggie’s to learn how to tackle

The first part of the tackle was text book he just got the lift a little too high and the momentum got the better of him

 

[Simonmyers11]

Benji making some interesting comments re having Tom out which has forced DCE and Foran to do most of ball playing which has helped with their combination and less reliance on Tom.

Now with Shuster back and soon Tom, will have attack all over the park.

 

[weev]

Just a moment to acknowledge the amazingness of Kieran Foran. Great they are offering him an extension. And if he's injured then Shuster gets his go. It's a win-win.

 

[Simonmyers11]

I hope I don’t see Tapau in the side again this year but unfortunately when you pay big dollars he will most likely be in the 17 somewhere

Rather see Davey to be honest.

Paeska and Josh will definitely slot back into the 17.

Yes I agree it wasn’t a classic spear tackle, pity he didn’t just let go and drop him in stead of driving him

One team i feel sorry for is the tigers that are going to cop a pounding next weekend. No scrap that I hate the tigers as much as souths.

Hamuole back, turbo back according to reports on fox sports, Josh s with a game under his belt.

Dry sunny Saturday afternoon at Brookvale oval and it's our only afternoon game all year at home.

With a 8 day turnaround also.

Tonight souths were not as good as they we made to look.

Davey, Josh A, tank, turbo and losing Lawton for the game all adds up

I think we are stronger with Foran at 6 and Shuster out wide. Foran is playing amazing at the moment.

Agree. Our ceiling is a long way off yet.

Let's hope with Tommy coming back they don't go back in their shells and expect him to do it all. Like you said we can have attack all over the park including when Walker comes on. Let's give this competition a good shake.

 

[Pepi]

Tuipoloto - 20 runs for 186 m, 6 tackle breaks, 1 line break
Saab - 10 runs for 50 metres, 1 tackle break

I hope Des doesn't take as long as he did to bite the bullet with Harper &Koula

 

[weev]

Yes I agree it wasn’t a classic spear tackle, pity he didn’t just let go and drop him in stead of driving him

He seemed to get caught up in the momentum, almost flipping into it. If only he spread his arms and stood up...

 

[Highflier]

Very hard to beat 14 on 12 ,Atkins can barely disguise his pathalogical hatred of us we can probably thank AFB for that .
Atkins gave us nothing that was not a blatant call for us ,but that Toupolouto foward pass takes the cake inept and corrupt
Marty --I'm still in shock that was the most appalling game from a 1st grader that I have seen, say hello to BWSE .
Tippy gets Saabs spot he has been excellent and Koula is miles in front of Harper .Garrick has been outstanding and get his wing back if TT is back
Anyway very proud of thier effort tonight if not for a few blunders by certain players and I'm lost for words with Atkins its beyond description the inept level of officiating .They appear to get worse year after year. Hopefully Davey and Haumole back and Atkins no where near us again .
I dont think Souffs get within 18 of us if we had 13 players even against thier 14.
Lawton should not get anymore than 4 -5 weeks in my opinion and I also think given everything 10 in the bin would have been sufficient and thats probably what would have happened had it not been for the blunder of last week and Tapou.
Onward and upward Manly .

 

[WiseyEagle]

They stayed in the game for 70 minutes with 12 men. A few changes to the team for next weeks game and hopefully the next few weeks should be good? Tigers, Bronco's and Eels all winnable.

 

[Buugee]

Tuipulotu & Koula have earned and cemented their respective positions in my eyes

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Rather see Davey to be honest.

Paeska and Josh will definitely slot back into the 17.

Really if Des is fair dinkum Tapau is behind Paseka ,Aliao Keppie and Sipley

 

[pt73]

Watching Souffs is just painful having to watch that little grub Cody Walker do cheap shots on tackled players all game.

Sorry I forgot to add: with the ref doing nothing.
