GAME DAY - Manly v Sharks [Round 26, 2015] Fanning Round

[mave]

Crazy scoreline given the possession percentage .

Sharks are one dimensional. Their best play is the short kick from Ennis.
Jackson Bird is a centre playing at 5/8th. He is wasted there.
Our defence has been stoic (except Symonds, who is getting a Wade Graham masterclass)

Matai laughing after dropping the ball is unforgiveable. I am filthy about that still.

 

[HappilyManly]

What a fantastic semi final series it will be with the likes of the sharks and St george who are useless teams.

Don't forget the Rabbids too

 

[winnyason]

Hiku is again showing centre is his spot.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

St Mergawarra Credit Union and the Protected Species. Do two negative clubs add up to a positive in this instance?

 

[torana355]

Hiku is again showing centre is his spot.

Was just about to post the same thing, he has potential at centre but is not a great winger.

 

[manlyfan76]

The other teams in the finals are loving the chance of playing the gummies in the finals.

 

[Ryan]

I have NO idea how we are in front. Glad for it. But geez, some players look BAAAAD.

 

[wedgetail eagle]

For a team knowing they're in the Semis somewhere, Cronulla are making rubbish errors on their own line.

 

[HappilyManly]

Hiku is a LHS centre as he doesn't ever pass to his right

Love little 2v giving his all in the sheds, in the last game of a horrendous year

Sharks are dead set pretenders. They have no halves, and sh$t centres, our usual brittle back line defense looks quite comfortable. Hiku defending inside Tom works a lot better. Hiku uses his size to stop his opposing player, and if they go around him, Tom has the speed to cover.

Who ever replaces Foran next year, will have to work hard in defense, cause he has been pretty good defensively of late.

DCE fully fit, Matai fit, Lyon Fit, Ballin fit, Mason, Buhrer etc - we'd kill this sharks side.

And Foran laughing at the same scrum, patting Robson on the back with a cheer.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I may have to retract my previous statement.

It seem we do have a heart after all.

Be fabulous to send 2V out a winner.

Same time, I'd rather them succeed, than any of the other top 8 sides.

Pretty sure he was laughing at himself for how silly he look.

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

The one thing I love about horo is he always gets stuck into ennis. He really seems to have a genuine hatred for him....keep it up and lay one on him!

so what is special about Horo in that regard ?

Mate, we are still playing terribly. Giving away possession. They have had plenty of no tries allowed.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Manly look comfortable against sides that cant attack like Sharks and Melbourne. Sides that use the ball like roosters, cowboys, and have skillful forwards that promote the ball - is where we really struggle defensivley

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

OMG Hodges 4th penalty we lose blame him.

 

[Brookvale2015]

Someone hit Ennis!!!!

 

[KOMORI]

Last ditch defence has been mad tonight
