Game thread ... US V Chooks ...

[Chunkytuna]

Garrick fair dinkum knew they needed a couple of offloads. Hahaha. What a legend. Hope he got it.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Still the dumbest ****ing team in the world.

Only after a heap of changes at the end , the rhythm was lost.

 

[Disco]

Hope that ice on Schusters calf is precautionary

Other than 2009 when we beat London Harlequins and Leeds on our WCC jaunt to England ... when was the last time we were 2 for 2 in trial games??

 

[danny-boy]

Aloiai surely not in the 17 round 1

Why not? We need a forward with mongrel. Paseka and Keppie are powder puffs.

 

[jamesouth]

Good win today lads. Definitely something to get excited about. Let’s keep playing quality footy. Look to have some promising young talents and (finally) speed on the wings. 😂

He was one of a very few who didnt impress me tonight.

That said Seibs will judge him on the entire off season, not just 15min at the back end of a trial

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Not bad another win. When Manly traditionally don’t win trials
Some good signs there , One thing I’d like to see is Weekes get a shot at centre he can handle it , he has pace he can tackle
As Jake would say it’s a nice performance

 

[eaglebuzz]

We looked pretty good tonight until that slump around the 65min mark. Not getting too confident yet but we look a lot better than I was expecting.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Is young Johns following the Cheese and asking how the snow candy is at Bondi?

 

[manlyfan76]

Weekes was good.

 

[Jerry1]

Nothing good ever comes of sticking your forearm into the back of a players head multiple times. Penalty all day everyday. Discipline needs to be better. Good first half. Entertaining game.

 

[Spartan Eagle]

Woohoo!! We're going to win the league!

 

[Disco]

Wonder how the chookpen is going

 

[Will on the hill]

Defense was outstanding in the early stages. Not just on the edges but more importantly through the middle. We dominated where and when it mattered.

 

[KaZa]

Our props are a concern. Can see why we moved Jake there

 

[BirdMan4ever]

I can see some football smarts in the new comers Gordon , weeks, tualagi, cooper...some serious pressure for the old heads

 

[hozza]

last 18min aside it’s a great win. Only a trial but enough to tell me things have changed. Team looked very very cohesive WITHOUT Dce and Croker.

 

[Will on the hill]

Gotta be careful we don't get carried away with a Feb premiership.

 

[double hoops]

They had 40 mins to do a few off loads. They could be celebrating winning 100 K right now. It's just dumb.
