Yeah, mysterious. Hey maybe they just remembered some of those lessons Trent drummed into them a couple of years ago? 😉

Naughty!
Yesterday’s win came from the confidence gained in last weeks 1 point win.
Tom added to that but we’d have won even with Walker there.

That’s the ladder before yesterday’s slaughter in Mudgee, Feathered Friend.
The team now sits proudly in 12th place.

I discriminate indiscriminately
The whole team was immense in defence yesterday... my concern is that the tits inability to deal with that made our win look better than it may have been against a more experienced side...
Look at the Broncos and tigpies who both played similar high-pressure styles of game by getting up and putting pressure on the ball players and edge forwards... the difference being that the riff and vermin were patient and took their limited opportunities...
Time will tell but I am just enjoying the win yesterday and not getting ahead of myself atm... the next 2 weeks will tell us where we sit in the competition with Tom on board...

Perspective time on our proud moment on the ladder
Our pride is not where we currently sit
Our pride is how we are soaring into the top 8 by our resilient change of course
"Neighbors"?
Do you live in the USA?
In this country we have "neighbours", not "neighbors".
Our recent run is 28% win ratio when he is out ... you'd think after some 8 years of similar experience with Snake and Tommy ... somebody between scoffing the curried egg and lettuce, and the salmon and cucumber sandwiches at a recruitment meeting ... would have suggested we do something about it ...
Potential point of consideration - most teams played three trial matches - a ‘nothing trial’ against A-grade opposition, then two trials at NRL level. So, most first grade players would have had at least an hour or so in game time ahead of the season starting. First four rounds, we looked waaay off the pace - tired, lethargic, disconnected from one another. I’d suggest Des was being cautious with injuries, but I personally think it hurt us - we were nit battle ready compared to other teams, especially considering the quality of our opposition in the first four rounds.
My sincerest apologies old mate ... nobody should have to suffer imagining my male bits flippy and flopping to the chords of Eagle Rock ...
Thank you for correcting me ... I did live in the states (shiite, should states have a capital S) for a while and was married to a Southern Belle ... my son is a dual citizen and set up my computer ... he has probably set the language to that most ridiculous of non existent things called "American English" ... I have seen both spellings of words such as mom/mum cheque/check for so long the difference no longer resonates with me ....
But I do get your very excellent point ... this is probably the type of discussion that was descended into at the recruitment meetings when somebody mis-spelt replccmet fullback ..

And therefore we are definitely not a top 6 team. 'Fragile' is the word, all right.

The titans did not seem to have a plan B. Better teams will.

Started wearing my membership 2021 Manly cap around for the first time yesterday , had to be the main reason for the terrific result . If only , have to say most likely in reality , the almost faultless completion rate in the i st half , getting in the faces of the Titans when they did keep possession , and some real attacking structure returning were the main factors . Tom can be that good and does make the crucial difference on many occasions , and Schuster "s class is going to have him as an integral part of the side in the future also . The side clicked finally yesterday , self belief would have gone up another few notches , just have to maintain the same enthusiasm level and commitment and playing structures and very hopefully yesterday "s result could be a real turnaround in their fortunes .

I was actually thinking that someone that is so valuable should be more closely monitored and tested.
His hamstrings should be scanned
by ultra sound Every Monday morning.....not wait until there is a tear and send him off for a MRI scan and then put him in rehab!
just sayin’

One thing I will say is that having Turbo chiming into the backline made an immediate difference to Parker’s attacking game. One of the things I’ve noticed is that Parker runs a straight hard line, but carries the ball right handed which leaves him with no fend and the easiest of pickings for the opposition defensive line.
Turbo’s presence alone is enough to put some doubt in the defence, and this gives Parker that extra second or two to adjust his line towards a gap that may be small but will often be enough with the way he commits himself to hitting the line. It’s only a little thing, but over a few games Parker’s confidence will grow and grow as he realises that he’s not always on a hiding to nothing...
It’s the little things that make huge differences at times...
