Game Day: Manly v Raiders [Round 8, 2017]

[MANLY4LIFE]

He had everyone outside him offside.So why kick and risk either a penalty or going dead and giving a 7 tackle set?

He ran himself into thst trouble why not put it in goal for a repeat set 5 metres earlier instead of holding it so long putting everyone offside

 

[HK_Eagle]

6 or 7 last tackle opportunities in their attacking zone and not a single repeat set (let alone a try). Thankfully we have had so much ball and field position so our defence hasn't been slaughtered yet.

 

[Simonmyers11]

That was a bit better. Holes in canberras defense

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

Oh amazing a repeat set and some pressure something we should of done with all the those extra sets we had before !!!!

 

[HK_Eagle]

Farking pass it Walker... you had a runner through a hole but you were too busy with your head up your dancing a$$

 

[Nordburg]

They ran through Because Green feigned to kick but then passed to DCE

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

Great kick DCE

 

[dowdz]

I know we are a little critical on here at times but this team, our team i think have the goods. They need some fine tuning but i think we can match it with anyone if we play well and switch on for a full 80. For now i will continue yelling much to the frustrations of the wife lol.

 

[Loobs]

Did Baz pull the pin on Api??? I'd MUCH rather have Brown as hooker than Api at this point.

 

[susan]

Plenty of effort , some great individual stuff, disgraceful service, one out running and no structure at all in the red zone.Familiar stuff.

We have a team that will win games but just no cohesion.The players care a lot. That is obvious.

 

[desreturnoftheking]

The so called shot clock is a joke

 

[HK_Eagle]

Seriously, do our guys hate Uate? They just refuse to pass it to him on any attacking raid. DCE should have hit him with a pass and backed him to take on his opposing winger. No, he turns it back to Walker the hog who had far less opportunity in front of him..

 

[XV-1]

I wouldn't be surprised to see DCE and Tom break out in open space at some stage tonight ala Jorge.

Tom has looked lethargic yet again, and standing in the line when defending Manly's try line. WTF. No wonder Canberra scored,

 

[The Royal Soup]

I wonder what they do all week at training

What a crap half with the ball

So disorganized

 

[Simonmyers11]

Forwards are making meters and the off loads are working well. Marty was running straight thru them. Dce now needs to get more ball 20m out and just play direct. Just run at them . Not fancy miracle play.

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

They ran through Because Green feigned to kick but then passed to DCE

Better pressure mounting now with some better ingoal kicks mate which makes them defend more and hopefully bugger them out

 

[Budgie]

Great, great effort from our boys.
BUT
I'm getting dreadful back pain just through watching our spine!
T1 (Tommy Turbo) is fine but wtf is going on with the rest?
Api - good defence but the loopy passes are killing momentum.
Green's tackling is ineffectual and his kicking is really lousy. Which leads to the big question:
WTF DCE??????
Why isn't he running the plays?
Why isn't he the kicker?
Why doesn't he attack?
Why are we playing $1 million per year for a tackler?
But the rest of them ... take a bow. Good work.

 

[damiennp90]

Can someone explain something to me.

After 2 weeks of ****e defence I'm sure Baz did a lot of defence training his week.

and we improved

How in 1 week can we forget all our structures in attack?

 

[HoldenV8]

Was Canberra's defense that good or were we just pedestrian in attack?

Bit of both I think.

 

[Steve76]

Great kick DCE

Is that it??

Too frightening rd to run the ball.

Hope he gets a sip of courage at half time
