GAME DAY - Manly v Cowboys [Round 19, 2015]

[WESTIE]

DCE gooorne for this one.....

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

I haven't read every post until this point.

But can someone please explain a few things to me ?

Why does Hiku defend 20 metres in from touch with a man on the sideline ? Even an idiot like me can see what's going to happen. It's cost us 12 points SO FAR. I'm betting he hasn't learned anything so stay tuned for more of the same in the second half.

Because if he stays on his touch line, there is then a 20m game between Lyon and himself that the cowboys will run through

Gets worse. Cherry's gone for tonight.

Game against Cowboys, drops 1st bomb of the game, they score. Also drops the ball over the line after the intercept

A few weeks back as well people were all over Tom T for not staying on his wing as tries were scored down there ...

Nice to see you sticking up for a fellow Kiwi but the facts is Tom T and his brother are our future not an overweight kiwi.

Wish is was Foz that got injured...

 

[ManlyBacker]

DCE gooorne! I don't know how but I still think we can win this. Stick it up 'em Manly!

 

[bob dylan]

The Gummies come back to beat this mob a few weeks back.

No reason we cant.

Get it done.

Hodges can go back to NSW Cup. Korisau can't get here fast enough. That pass out of dummy half with 2 minutes to go will f*#&in' do me. How hard is it to hit a man ?

We're second best. And by a fair margin too. The only try we scored was opportunistic......and that's being kind.

They have defended like that on Jamies side for years. If Jamie rushes in, winger has to follow. Jamie is rushing in because we are short. If Hiku stays on his wing, centre runs straight past him on inside, plus it looks worse as hiku is so slow

Hardly sighted.

 

[Technical Coach]

So it was Mateo's fault that Hodges just throws the ball to noone?

lol rigggghhhht Hodges was true to form throwing dud passes

If you can't even distribute with any level of consistency, crispness or confidence no point being a hooker.

 

[lsz]

I can't recall Tom making one era in attack or defence.

Petal comes In because he is an international and plods about like a hurricane, destroying everything he approaches. Never been a more apt nickname than Sloth.

1:29 of this vid, 2:32 (arguably) , 2:40

I love Tom T but you are kidding if the issues magically go away when he takes the park

 

[HoldenV8]

I'd say the new structure is T-Red to the centres, Killer to 5/8 and Foran to half.

T-Red and Hiku as our right side centre/wing this half........give me strength.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Even if we lose, we have to keep it close - dont wont for and against getting any worse

 

[HoldenV8]

Well FMD......Foran comes up with a nice kick for Snake to score.

 

[KOMORI]

Wow. Fantastic play from Snake and FORAN??? Wow!

 

[6/71]

Stick a fork in this season boys...

 

[ManlyBacker]

Snakester!

 

[Simonmyers11]

what a good set

 

[KOMORI]

Well FMD......Foran comes up with a nice kick for Snake to score.

I had to check the replay lol

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

So its Lyons fault then?? Hiku doesnt contest for balls. I agree he is not a winger he is a slow centre at best.

It's a structure issue combined with poor reads from a number of players

That 2nd try they scored, DCE and Lyon rush in and get nobody, he rushes in with them, and gets nobody.

If you get a chance, look at the tries post match, and see how many of them have Hiku defending 2 or 3 people outside of Lyon. Go back the past season and see how many times Wolfman was left in the same situation numbers wise

Anyway I'll leave it there for the night lol, my view is stated clear enough now
