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

[double hoops]

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

 

[XV-1]

Turbo Tom needs to be hooked.

 

[Nordburg]

So what's keeping Parker there?

Ranga quota

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Poor defence. Fullback should have held him up but tackling nobody.

 

[Michael Clare]

Turbo dumb play had plenty of time to regather and run out of in goal

And gifts them a try

Typical of our season. We play with passion, but without much intelligence.

 

[SeaEagle21]

What piss weak mentality and effort to let that last try in

 

[simon64]

Tom can take the blame for that.

He ambled across and got caught in goal.
And then he did absolutely ZERO to help stop Ramien.

I don't get all the love for this guy.
He is nowhere near the class of Eadie, Snake or Ridge. No even close.

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

Tom is playing touch in defence

 

[Simonmyers11]

Pretty lack lustre from tom at the back. He is a great attacking full back but horrible in defence

 

[globaleagle]

1 man down, manly have all the momentum, take 2 points.

Game mgt here is lacking.

derp de derp... we don't think we'll give away any more penalties and there's never a square up.

 

[Pepi]

Drop Tom he's not even providing anything in attack.

 

[HappilyManly]

Typical of our season. We play with passion, but without much intelligence.

No sense of urgency from Turbo - he wouldn't have done that in SOO

 

[davohan123]

How many times this year a few I think we let in a try right on the bell of half time.
Annoying but at least we are having a dig

 

[HoldenV8]

I never thought we'd lead this game at any stage, let alone at half time.

We still have defensive issues, but I'll take the lead so long as we keep it this time.

Official attendance is 13,273 according to Fox.

 

[nightster]

Suli showing his potential today.

wish he'd show the same quality in defense ... we are going to miss big Penny

 

[mave]

We have the bunker, refs on our side for the first time since I can remember, and we can only manage a 2 point lead.

Our defence is deploarable.

 

[robbiea]

So what's keeping Parker there?

Lack of quality.

 

[SeaEagle21]

1 man down, manly have all the momentum, take 2 points.

Game mgt here is lacking.

derp de derp... we don't think we'll give away any more penalties and there's never a square up.

Said to my wife “Watch the second half square ups”

 

[globaleagle]

tom mustn't go to those mon morning video sessions.

Geez the ref's give jake a hard time.

It's all I can here them go on about.

jake, stay onside
jake stay square
jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!

poor bugger

 

[nightster]

Tom's defense is killing us put him in the centres and walker at fullback

 

[XV-1]

I am afraid we are going to get towled by 20 plus in the 2nd half

 

[Robeagle]

Tom is playing touch in defence

Tom is not a first grader anymore all he h@d to do is show a bit of urgency and get the ball out of the in goal we would have had the ball not them no try
