Trial V Roosters

[The Royal Soup]

There’s been a few dodgy decisions today all favouring the roosters. How did the ref let go that bobble when the roosters tried to offload in the tackle?

100% was a lost ball

Hopoate had to be better getting to his feet there. Good learning experience for the kid.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Hard to hold a full strength first grade side out.

We’ll probably lose this but boy you’d have to be happy with some of the players performances.

This has been a great hit out.

Ray isn't that quick. Was he onside with that kick from Wakeham??

 

[The Royal Soup]

and another Woods penalty…..

 

[HK_Eagle]

Is that leg lift a new rule this season?

 

[DUFFMAN]

I wasn't expecting a win or it even to be close.
If I was a Roosters supporter I would be very disappointed with the score, they were near full strength and we were basically a reserve-grade squad.

44 missed tackles by Manly

High tackle play on…..

Ummmm high tackle much

To sum up the game
The Roosters riddled errors lost them momentum
And our resilience kept us in the game

Ummmm high tackle much

Sorry but I agree with Brandy. That was more around the shoulders than the neck or head.

Just said in the coverage that Haumole picked up a hammy problem at training.

Trial error counts from this weekend for our dear friend @The Royal Soup

15 - Roosters
13 - Sharks
12 - Bulldogs
11 - Storm
11 - Knights
9 - Manly

Players aren't robots, there will always be the odd mistake....especially in an early trial.

 

[The Right Edge]

I think the Roosters did us a huge favour. So many of these fringe players especially those who have not experienced any if not much NRL have got a first hand look at what they need to do to compete at this level. It also gave Siebs a look at who he can call on when he needs tff season recruiting was all about depth looks like this trial was too.

I mean, not one I'll jump up and down on but looked to me that he clipped his chin

Don't love that

 

[SeaEagle007]

Overall , to me this was a win!!! the rosster will be frothing they couldn't put a big socre on us.. Depth looks good... Overall happy so far ... hopefully our first grade is raring to go

Sea Eagles show plenty of fight in loss to Roosters

A young and spirited Manly Warringah Sea Eagles outfit turned in a gutsy performance in losing 36-22 to the Sydney Roosters at Industree Stadium today in the opening round of the Pre-Season Challenge.

Tremendous effort by our boys against a full strength Roosters team
