Leary

[EagleRock]

I thought he was solid. Defensively sound and showed energy the entire time he was out there.

 

[Masked Eagle]

I read a post earlier in the week from someone claiming he was a good size. For a hobbit maybe! He'd be OK in much bigger pack but we are undersized as it is. Buhrer would take his spot next week and be alot more effective.

 

[Crusher_Cleal]

He got smashed all game.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Good start, 34 tackles none missed and almost 100 metres.

Pretty fair debut on a tough night

Hope Horo was unavailable

Why? He's ****house

 

[damiennp90]

Tried hard all game and good stats. Can't say that for most other players

 

[maxta]

Decent effort - ragdolled at times due to big aggressive Parra fowards having all day to line him up after dominating the previous tackle - not a barnstorming runner but skillful with vision. Will surprise a few as the season rolls on. Tackled well unlike many & looked creative with limited opportunity.

How can he be getting bagged over the dishlicker Lawrence meow - Leary lui and burgess were the best forwards tonight in a well beaten pack

 

[mozgrame]

Leary went well. He and Ballin put in big defensive games. Ballin 39 tackles, Leary 34. I thought it was a very good effort and indication that he means business. Hope he's there next week!! The more game time, the better.

 

[Daddycool]

I thought he did well in a beaten side. He'll get better as the season progresses and he settles into his role in the team.

 

[Top End Eagle]

He went real well for his first game with us. Same with burgess and Lui was great too.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Let's not forget that was his NRL debut, he'll only get better.

 

[Fluffy]

Decent debut. One of the best in a beaten pack

I've been saying all along, his signing softened the blow of Choc leaving for me. He's going to be a gun!

 

[BOZO]

Needs more than 5 mins, he's been a gun in QLD Cup.

QLD cup and NRL are two different ball games . I hope he improves but I didnt see any intimidating factor in him . The young parra forwards showed what he lacked

The gun didn't kill any one Friday night . We need forwards that make an impact not forwards that just make tackles as we have plenty of them .
Match report article :

The Manly forwards were silenced by a Parramatta pack, who are far from the league’s most lethal unit. The statistics will do the Manly hierarchy trying to lure Foran no favours either.

They had more possession than Parramatta for more runs, but somehow the Sea Eagles carried the ball for less metres. Not one Manly forward managed to run for over 100m.

Bench forward Luke Burgess and lock Dunamis Lui were Manly’s best performers, with 98m each.

It was the kids first game,and things weren't exactly going our way.

Give him a few games before you write him off .

I like Leary and hope he will be a great signing. Thought he went ok the other night.

people bagged matai on here as well in the early days

I hope we does well . We need our forwards to stand up and make an impact and start dominating not just tackling
