Game Day: Manly v Dragons [Round 20, 2017]

Looking for positives.
Um, at least one team held the other to the nil…
We looked off from the start, everything going the Queens' way, but it's a worry just how powerless our forwards have been. No grunt at all.
Nice to see Joey Lussick get his NRL debut with his brother, especially with Parker and the Trbojevics out there. Five local juniors in the one team. Sure, we're getting flogged, but FIVE local juniors!
 
These guys weren't rested in the traditional sense to allow to kick back for a week...they are resting niggling injuries that you can play through but not at your optimum peak...so the idea is to get them 100% not have them play out the rest of the year at 50-60% fitness.

Also we've leaked three tries off a kick and an intercept. We have 6-7 regular players out and Parker went down injured for 15 minutes throwing the interchange out completely.

Stick by the team and don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

If he's injured then fair enough he can't play. Apparently though he wasn't named on the official injury list. This game potentially could derail our finals chances given the F/A impact. I would say Barrett was not counting on being down by 30 at HT
 
My Dragons mate has waited a long time for revenge on that 61-0 hiding we gave them mid90s, today might be his day

Hardly Hastings fault, DCE 2 interceptions for 2 tries and Shaun Lane 2 dropped balls for 2 tries. The other try came from a beautiful ball from Widdop to Host, again nothing to do with Hastings. Everyone knows API is our 9, you said Brown was a better option. What would have Brown added to the above situation.

can't you see they are killing us through the middle ffs mate we suck today but he's not up for it. ps I'm hating this excuse my anger. Also gaznier I want to knock out
 
Never thought we'd win today, but did think we'd actually turn up and give it a crack.

Going to go one of two ways,

1) total blowout , 56-0
2) we will come back but fall short of winning.
 
Well
Parker next great club junior he looks like Andrew frew to me
Hastings there nothing doing here reserve grader
Cullen tries hard
 
We have got to where we are this year by having the majority of our FG players on the field every week. We've hit a speed bump, and now have players slotted in all over the place from a lower grade side that hasn't really been excelling.
Most of those tries were over us or an intercept.

We need to be strong in the second half though.
