Post-Game Discussion Manly v Raiders [Round 4, 2022]

[bringbackbeaver]

Aloiai could not have made more of an impact on our pack. He was excellent, which is even more impressive considering it was his first game of the season. Koula was great as well, didn't look out of pale, took some tough hit-ups, setup the first try, really good on his feet.

We're still clunkier than I'd like in attack (don't care so much if we're not clunky at the business end of the season) but I always said everything would look better once we started to get better ruck speed and everything and everyone pretty much did. Nice to get a decent win against a decent side.

Great to get the win. Josh was awesome and made almost 200 really tough meters. Still issues with the other props. Think Bully should come in for Keppie and play him in the middle . Keppie rubbish

I thought Koula for Harper... I was close. Still surprised with Koula replacing Parker but Harper was better today but still made errors which he cant in big games.

He has Covid:

Thank you - in that case I am sure Harper was gone if Parker didn't have COVID. Still think he will be gone for Koula next week. I tell you what - a left side defence of Foran Davey Parker Garrick - you will be very very lucky to score a try down that side of the park that is for sure. What an outstanding defensive 4. In attack Parker doesn't offer what Koula does maybe swap Parker to right Centre to shore up that defece. Koula stays at left Centre - the defence out there tonight was still pretty tight.

Half the grandstand will probably get Covid thanks to the ****ing fool who thought bringing his teenage daughter to the footy coughing and spluttering for 2 hours was a good idea.

Haven’t seen this one before. A good’n.Can we play at Mudgee more often. I could hardly spot a green jersey in the crowd.

Josh Aloiai 19 runs for 181m. He was huge for us. Made a massive difference.

Ricky Stuart on DCE...
“If I’m the Manly boss Scott Penn, I’d be going down and putting a fresh bunch of flowers on Bob Fulton’s grave every day. It’s the smartest play that club has ever made pinching him back off the Titans and offering him a million dollars for 10 years. Everybody bagged Bozo for it, it was a masterstroke.”

How good was Koula?! Loved how many times he chopped blokes down 1 on 1.

The attacking structures need some work, very clunky in attack, Schuster not to far away hopefully that left edge gets back to where it was last season.

 

[Sheikheagle]

I was at the game so hard to tell, but why were we penalized when in possession 3-4 times ?

I think the left was good tonight.... the right side is very clunky. All our yards were made down our left edge

 

[wombatgc]

Our halves were very good. Daly’s kicking game was obviously outstanding (particularly the grubber for the Haumole try when we couldn’t jag points with a ton of ball), but Foran’s ball playing was equally impressive.

Tom is so much more dangerous because Foz is willing to take it so deep into the line to commit defenders.

Foz with absolutely no fear. As soon as it got to him, the tempo went up, he dug in, straightened the attack, and his outside men reaped the rewards.

Wouldn't say it was a Masterstroke based on results, for that huge investment we haven't really got much to show for it other than a few competitive years and a few not so competitive.

Other than his decent kicking today(which granted was the difference and changed the game) i wouldn't say his performance was first class in leading the team around ball in hand.

Ricky Stuart coaching and tactics wise is boring as far k and behind the times so i wouldn't be placing his opinions on a pedestal that is for sure.

I actually think DCE in his older years will offer far more value and improvement at a reduced price than his wasted golden expensive years where he has stagnated and not ironed out his bad habits.

That was good, but what I liked even more was when the Raiders really sent a lot of traffic his way in the second half, he didn’t lose his cool. And when he went down injured, he got back into it. That right quad was heavily strapped from the get-go, so hopefully hasn’t done any further damage.
