Game Day: Manly v Cronulla [Round 21, 2018]

[simon64]

Remind me again why we thought Ramien wasn't worth keeping.

We won't win unless we fix our swiss cheese defence.
When we have a glut of possession we look ok. Satisfactory. Not brilliant but a pass mark.

But we need a defensive coach more than we need any player on the market.
We can't handle it when they attack out wide and that's where we'll get run over.

Tom needs to watch tapes of Tedesco. His defence is light years ahead Tom's. I would swap them in a heartbeat.
I've given the guy enough chances. He's supposed to be some superstar but as hard as I squint, I can't see it.

**** that right hand side is like a sieve , but the bunker gods are with us so far.

What are you talking about Mark??? Tangles is the future.

 

[torana355]

I think the sharks will run over us in the second half by 13+. Our defence is park footy standard at best and our clueless coach obviously has no idea how to fix it. I really had a good feeling today but I was mistaken 🙁

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

One of our best attacking efforts this year, chancing our arm before the last. Good ball control. Possession and match fitness on a warm day will probably be the decider today. I'm not too worried about the refereeing (but ask me at full time😉).

 

[Kevinward777]

Good bust from suli there, not much pace once her got through though. Where was Parker?

He tripped over back downfield.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Turbo can’t win. He takes the non-safe option and gets criticised, he takes the safe option and gets criticised. Can’t blame him for Kelly’s limp effort on Ramien.

Absolutely he can be blamed for his poor fullback covering defence. It's inept, non-existent. The great fullbacks get across and cover front line breaks

 

[Michael Clare]

Is Tom the worst full back in the comp? Defending his line, positional play. The answer is by a mile.[/QUOTE

If I hear anymore muppet talk about how good Turbo is I'm gonna spew
Let's face it just isn't good enough at fullback[/QUO
Speaking about muppet talk - I'm sure I just heard one of the Foxtel commentators say that Henry P. (having played first-grade league) is a capable referee!

Yes we can, Turbo just needed to grab the ball and have Ramien held up, he was right there watching

Which one are you critiquing? DCE was covering on the inside, so Turbo had to cover the outside on the Ramien try.

 

[smithy]

Like how Blocker said Suli is looking much fitter after his bust he must have been comparing him to himself.

 

[Clay]

That's why Tom's a winger

 

[torana355]

Well ill be damned. LOL. Move Tom to the wing.

 

[Kevinward777]

Tommy!

 

[simon64]

Thank christ for that.

It's about time he did something.

 

[Frogz]

40 mins that may give us the spoon or keep it away

 

[Michael Clare]

Turbo is an enigma!

 

[globaleagle]

hooray

we love tommy!

 

[mave]

Keep targeting Dugan !

 

[Simonmyers11]

For us to win we need to have more possession and more urgency on the right side defence. It was a little better last 20 mins of that half. Need the players to be more urgent on the inside when they pass it out wide.

 

[The '47ers]

Score another one and you're back to even Twodicks

 

[Pittwater Legend]

I've been calling for that play all year. Keep Tom on the wing haha
