Absolutely. All you hear year in year out, is how the best or 2nd best defensive team wins the comp. Find me a coach who can deliver a resilient defence system for Manly.....not just follow everyone else's system. Look at Canterbury. They all bought in on the aggressive defensive pattern and...
Most consistent forward we had all year....by a mile. Really stepped up at season end when forward stocks have been depleted. His missed tackle count has really improved to the point he went 2 games without a miss and over 40 completed. Also takes a run nearly every set. Biggest improver at the...
Yeah....and the difference? Tom. Watch the defence all look to Tom (now that he's back in form) and Corey just strode through.
Tom and Haumole make everyone better when they're on, without even touching the ball. For a lot of the year we've missed that. Add in the forward deficiencies, mainly...
We've got a dreadful record against this mob and especially at Kogarah. They're coming of a 40 point belting and Flanagan would be frothing at the mouth all week.
There's everything against us and that's why we'll win this by 10.
Well....what did happen to Tom yesterday. In the first 10 mins he was running into a gap and kind of deselerated, as he has been doing for some time.
10 mins later and for the rest of the game he was like the old Tom. Running hard into gaps, attracting plenty of attention and offloading to...
Absolutely he is a great defender. This pile on from fans and the media doesn't take into account the amount of space around cherry when these tackles were missed. The inside defender didn't bother getting across and there was so much space that most quick players would have beaten cherry. Just...
If Tom didn't have a magnificent reputation he wouldn't get a run.
There was a time when our attack removed all around
Unfair ...TKO had more runs and metres than anyone and then made more tackles. He deserves our MOM.
The million $ players..Tom and Cherry wouldn't be worth 400k each atm I'm...
Guilty as charged....however it was more about not having Reuben in the centres. Problem is that Tom has no defensive technique at all. He's just an arm grabber
We urgently need a decent centre.
Where's Tommy Talau?
Turbo is a defensive arm grabber as a centre. And was going to get found out
He's got to go back to fullback. But we can't have Reuben at centre either.Tommy Talau has to find last years form.
Throw a million at Herbie and we can win a comp.
