Game Day: Chooks v Manly [Round 2, 2020]

[BrendonStarr]

Look, we can absolutely murder them today if our attack is smart. We won't win this game playing safe. If we get a roll on and our completions are high we can put the game to bed in a 15 minute blitz. I am predicting one of those games where we win quite comfortably but it should have been by a lot more... Manly 32 Roosters 18

Need this boys. Walks will have a blinder

We need to roll them up the middle then goto the edges like last year. We can get them they didn't look that flash last week... It's a dry track.. walker and dce will have a big 1 today. Levi im tipping for a sneaky try.. imho croker should start and Levi play the last 60.. or croker last 10 and then 1st 10 of the 2nd.

I hope so mate.. would absolutely love a win.. i just worry that we wont have anything to throw at them when it matters..
I'm on the fence on Levi.. liked how he straightened the team up and ran the ball last week, but honestly havent seen enough of him to have an opinion.. never really watch knights games lol

We miss so much with Fainu not there, he creates space and time and loads of 2nd phase play.. so it's upto the big boys to provide some good offlloads and create that 2nd phase play. Turbo needs to be more involved... last week he didn't get in the game like he usually does

Roosters aren't a great matchup for us style wise. If we are going to beat them it needs to be through the middle. If we can fatigue their forwards and get in behind the ruck we are a shot. If we try and run around them we're in trouble.

The storm played good wet weather spoiler football last week. We were the better side for most of the match but they gave away penalties every time we had momentum. Hopefully the drier weather helps us to play to our strengths more

Where was our penalty for holding down.

Consistency - must be the home crowd

Taking the 2 FMD! We had them shot! We lose.. refs do it on purpose they stop our momentum same as last week

The Roosters supporter must have snuck in.

Would rather take an easy 2 than go for 4 and 6 and possibly cough it up and get nothing.

2 is good, but we did that last week without applying pressure with the limited time in the 20. Would like us to at least have a crack every now and then.

Hopefully we still get that chance.
