Game Day: Manly v Raiders [Round 25, 2016]

Tommy actually reminds me a lot of Dale Shearer. Like Rowdy there is a lot of brilliance to his play as we saw when he scored. But like with Rapana's first try (though not helped by Api's pass) there is also a certain amount of laziness or being too casual in his game.

I hope he gets the laziness out of his game by next year.
 
just need to hold on to the ball a bit better and we will take these guys all the way.

Parker has been impressive again. Just before half time when we were throwing the ball around he slotted into fullback just to add some extra safety, then we we started to spread it right he sprinted to get back to his wing for attack. He can read the game very well better than TT imo. Needs to remain in first grade, he is well and truly ready and good enough.
 
Just diverging a little. Manly's NSW Cup side is leading 32-12 shortly after half time against fourth place Newtown Jets at their home ground Henson Park. Jamil has scored twice (is he the new Menzies?)
 
Seeing a second-string squad being decently competitive against top sides fills me with confidence for next year. I think if Stewart and Matai both retire over the off season and we get some good signings we'll be very dangerous next year.
 
vave getting everyone to get on with it. good stuff

i think it was forward
 
I think we should bring back 'hex's' nickname.

that's 2 butchered tries and one to canberra he can wrap up and call all his own.
