Game Day: Manly v Raiders [Round 17, 2021]

[Jigzkiller]

Ricky stuart out coaching Des lol This game lost at selection table. Imagine the fear when the final teams were announced in the raiders camp when wily old Des produced the ace in his pack Goski was back.

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

Stay calm. They had all the ball in the last 20.

whilst correct

there is a feeling this trend will continue......

edit: and we don't seem to 'know'

 

[The better Robbo]

I think Go’s was lazy out of marker and that didn’t help the big boy

Keppie was the slow marker on the Sipley miss. Hopefully we get a fair share of the ball this half

 

[nightster]

Stay calm. They had all the ball in the last 20.

True but our defence through the middle is not good enough - miss Jake and DCE

 

[Rafferty]

We will turn it around in the 2nd with some ball

 

[slamminsam246]

Poor guy is tacklng for those lazy ****wits JetSki and Suli

NYEagle

I agree. I mean get him off - he's gassed

 

[grassy]

Fuk state of origin

 

[AlxFromNthNarra]

If we get 90% of the ball over a 20min period, im sure we'll put on more than 2 tries

 

[eagleron]

Great decision des!!! This loss will be on you

**** JetSki off, should be benched from the game now!!!

He's one of Des's favourites

 

[Simonmyers11]

The while half turned on Sulis dropped ball.

This is where we are at in 2021 V’landysball.

Momentum is just too hard to swing.

Giving away multiple 6 to go on the 4th hasn't helped either

 

[BOZO]

Parker grounds the ball for our seconds try none of this would’ve happened and he just dropped it again.

He doesn’t make as many mistakes as he used to but when he does they are always at a bad time.

Suli is rubbish too


Garrick’s positional play pretty shocking

Reckon we will lose another easy match, gonna be costly

We arnt quite a one man team but pretty dam close to it A lot of the time.

Parker was given a perfect pass and he had a short clear run to the line and any competent attacking player would have scored that try .

I said before this game we do not have Turbo giving out free meat pies .
All backs have to lift and show us what they have because at the moment apart from Dylan Walker brilliance the others have not stood up .
At the moment its Walker 4 Raiders 12

 

[ALinda]

Bring on Cust!!!

Hope the Raiders do what they're renowned for...capitulate in the 2nd half

 

[maxta]

Possession hopefully shifts
Stop these Tapine offloads
Both hookers are getting out avoiding markers
Fix these few and will still win

 

[Snake]

You can see some of our spacing is off in defence. A number of times, Raiders forwards were able to run straight into gaps that were evident before the ball was even played.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

If we can get a good share of the possession in the second half we can get out of this but if we don’t we are ****ed !!

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

Hopefully the home crowd will get us home in the second half

LOL, maybe they turn the volume of the fake crowd sounds up a bit.....then we are home

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

I honestly think we have just been a little unlucky.

Some good kicking from the Raiders and repeat sets have just kept us out of the game. The first 20 min we looked awesome then we were starved of possession.

let’s see if we play like we did against the Titans or the Knights.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

The while half turned on Sulis dropped ball.

Parker's drop over the line wasn't great either. Why I hate seeing players out of position. He's a centre, not a winger, and should be playing centre. Put a natural winger out there.

 

[The Royal Soup]

6 mooooooooooorrrrrre

 

[mave]

Giving away multiple 6 to go on the 4th hasn't helped either

Exactly my point.

Momentum just builds and builds.
Players are gassed, and look for the easy out, and the cycle continues.

It's great when we are giving It, not so much when we are copping it.
