Game Day: Manly v Broncos [Round 10, 2021]

[AlxFromNthNarra]

So if Parker gets picked for his defence, can he finally get dropped next week?

Can’t ground the ball, no pace and let’s in ridiculously soft trys.

He has nothing.

But for some reason the Broncos are drawn to belting him around the head, being put on report and giving us penalties.

 

[Jerry1]

We could have had another two tries. Hope we can go on with this in the second half.

 

[AlxFromNthNarra]

Hoping that Des resists this idea and brings Walker back as left centre. Harper to stay on the right. Parker to the bench. Suli to Blacktown.

Yep totally agree. Hopefully the weird decisions of Des' team selections were a 2020 thing...

 

[NYEagle]

Gee guys,..

Really impressed with the way Manly have been patient and structured.

But really not impressed with this softly softly product on the field the NRL is creating. There is no impact any more and everyone is afraid of even touching the neck and head. That last try from the broncos happened for the very reason.

I dunno, it may be time to bring back the 5 metre rule, or scrums, or something. It’s not quite working for mine as a product.

Nevertheless. GO MANLY. It matters less if Manly win.

Broncos only had 35% of the ball....look out if the ref evens up possession, ground position and penalties

 

[Snake]

It’s vitally important that we score first in the second half. That was a very disappointing try to let in because it was basically just a soft effort in assuming that Issako would die with the ball. That’s a freebie for the Broncos; he was covered.

if they get within 8 early in the second half, look for their confidence to grow and the momentum to shift.

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

I think we are going to miss Foran big time. Calm head, straightens attack, lethal in the red zone and good kicking option balancing with DCE. Schuster is definitely the future but I like Foz there whilever he's fit to play.

 

[AlxFromNthNarra]

We look shot spent all the lollies early, No way we hang on from here way our defence.

See us losing 52-36 both teams play touch football and have no ticker when it comes to D.

What absolute waffle mate - the D tonight has been first rate - until the last 3 mins of that half.

They have been smashing the Broncos up the middle and dominating possession.

What game are you watching?

 

[Peter7]

I hope we score early and kill the game.
They're a sht team but have had a big comeback against the Titans earlier this season

 

[voicefromthehill]

Sitting here with my boy and we both agree that Manly will cop a sin bin for head contact - despite the softly softly for the Brisbane infringements during the “crack down”

and as an aside I like what is going on in Schusters head tonight - he seems more considered, but I still hate the no look

[KOMORI]

Really? Last weeks defence against the Warriors was like an under 20's match - woeful

Yeah it was pretty ordinary, but the general trend is improving in my opinion...

 

[The Royal Soup]

Ref will be out to even the game uo for ch 9 and the NRL so be prepared

 

[AlxFromNthNarra]

22/24 sets completed first half.

Brisbane 12/16.

That's how you win footy games - hold the pill

 

[XV-1]

Yeah it was pretty ordinary, but the general trend is improving in my opinion...

I will agree entirely if we ice the 2nd half.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Jake having a real good game, his ball playing just on the fringe is giving DCE some good opportunities. All the forwards going well. Guaca ripping in. Sippers off the bench has been good, Paseka started like a train, Marty putting guys into holes and Keppie deserved that try.

We look pretty good, I think we should finish this off if we keep dominating them in the middle. Turbo hasn't even found 3rd gear yet, so look for him to inject himself more this half

 

[Will on the hill]

Feel for Foz.

I can see Des pushing Walker back into the team as 5/8th and leaving Schuster where he is.

No way... if he does I'm giving up reading Des's mind for ever.

 

[Eagles4Life]

How good was that?

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

5th tackle try

 

[Cliffymagic]

Saaaaaaaaaàabbbbbb ¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a weapon !
