Game Day: Manly v Raiders [Round 4, 2022]

[Dan]

heaps of comments about the footy but none telling me how cute my son is. disappointed...

 

[Simonmyers11]

Some nice play and some clunky efforts again. Still seem slow at times, and lacking intent.

Fix that and we should be able to finish on top

 

[mickqld]

OMG will someone tell Paseka to eat some FUKING concrete.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Turbo trying super hard and showing glimpses... but timing for the team as a whole is just still off and making it hard for ourselves. I thought we started reasonably solid with just getting the basics right and getting into the grind... however, it started to drop off as the game went on. Some good defensive resilience outside of that one soft try they let in.

 

[Simonmyers11]

We’re walking into the line again. Tom is the only one hitting it up hard. Aloia also was good. Others need to pull your god damn fingers out and RUN HARD!!!

If we had a few more stronger charges and some quick play the balls would really open Canberra up

 

[Ryan]

Loved that really fast play-the-ball by Paseka , that Croker had a run from. We literally made 30 odd metres in this runs.

See what lightning play-the-balls do?

Why can't we replicate that ?

 

[eagleron]

Still the same clunky disorganised attack.

There are signs of improvement, I feel we're building, also Harper's having his best game in some time too

 

[hozza]

J Aloiai did well, as did Koula. Just need to up the tempo and aggression a little and I think we’ll get the W

 

[Dan]

we play a flat game and to be honest i actually think thats the modern game rather than us being entirely ****

 

[Waz13]

Can Aloai play 80? Serious question? Marty and Paseka just seem to amble to the line. That said we look a lot better than the first 3 weeks. Could open them up in the 2nd. Liking Koulas work. Harper has been better today too. That last run from Tom looked like the first time he’s put a sprint in all year - just exploded.

 

[Jethro]

Why do our forwards when on the attack, all seem to put the brakes on just before they hit the line of defence except for Josh Aloiai who at least tries to punch through the line?

 

[Waz13]

Need to be deeper than what we are tho. We are way too flat

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Koula been great good one on one defence and to think he has speed

 

[CoreyWaddellSuperFan]

Have you noticed Koula at all Dessie?

 

[globaleagle]

'cause it hurts!

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

Garrick going well too.
So, who drops out when Parker is fit???

 

[davohan123]

We’re walking into the line again. Tom is the only one hitting it up hard. Aloia also was good. Others need to pull your god damn fingers out and RUN HARD!!!

paseka again huge frame but just so slow and no aggression at all he could be anything.

marty again not effective

again we waste so many opportunities in the 20 Just dumb play.

if we play smart and actually take our chances in the 20 raiders are there to be beat.

 

[Rackets]

Seriously I don't know what it is with these forwards and just jog up to the defense line off kicks. Paseka ran straight through the titans last year off a kick off because he charged at them. Cmon boys show some mongrel and put some fear into the opposition.

 

[Waz13]

Because they are used to playing Vlandys touch footy. Game has changed now (again). No team has scored 40pts yet and we are half way through rd 4. Refs have put the whistle away re 6agains. Josh clearly goes through the line and looks to get to his stomach.

 

[Ben]

Koula been great good one on one defence and to think he has speed

He is a quality defender. On of the the trial games he made 10 tackles with no miss tackles. He looks every bit a 1st grader
