Game Day: Manly v Roosters [Round 18, 2023]

[bob dylan]

At some point someone will have to ask the question.

Is DCE our best ever half?

 

[davohan123]

DCE wow never really noticed but boy today he is carrying this side on his back playing great footy.

Forwards offer nothing and need to show some aggression

We can win this
But need to play so much better.

 

[Waz13]

I hope your joking. Is ridiculous he is playing instead of S Faniu

Surely not! How the Wood duck is in this side is beyond me. He couldn’t make the saints starting squad. I’ll cop Aloiai on the bench (but he sucks as well) for experience, but why both. At least keppie can fold pricks in the middle.

Is DCE our best ever half?

I think he is, and if he isn't yet, he isn't far off.

 

[Jerry1]

Without DCE today we’d be farked. Forwards need to be better.

 

[The '47ers]

Every pass Keary throws is forward

Except the intercept one 🤭

 

[grassy]

The more DCE plays for QLD the better he gets. Your never to old to learn a few things.

 

[Seagles68]

I can't believe I'm saying this but our best forward so far has actually been Tuilagi. He's been OK defensively so far.

He has been very good. Different player!!

 

[2830 Eagle]

I was under the impression that this is Sharon's last year

 

[mave]

Roosters line speed has been incredible.
Not sure they can keep it up for another full 40.

Gotta stay in the game, and come home over the top.of them.

 

[HoldenV8]

At some point someone will have to ask the question.

Is DCE our best ever half?

Ken Arthurson, Dennis Ward, Johnny Mayes, Kevin Junee, Gary Stephens, Johnny Gibbs, Steve Martin, Phil Blake, Des Hasler, Geoff Toovey, Michael Monoghan, Matt Orford, Daly Cherry-Evans.

That's quite a lot of talent and a list that is far from complete.

 

[davohan123]

Scoring first is critical in this second half.
This will go down to the wire
Jake again very solid return.

 

[Waz13]

I think he is, and if he isn't yet, he isn't far off.

Who would be a better 7?

 

[rj90]

We need a big second half.

I want us to play Teddy out of a blues jersey.

 

[The Royal Soup]

we have no right to be leading this game, have been absolutely terrible, barley made 20m ever set, sloppy passes from dummy half as usually and slow and stifled with the ball

roosters fielding a side with 10 players out and we can’t even put them to the sword

what a joke

 

[Disco]

Ken Arthurson, Dennis Ward, Johnny Mayes, Kevin Junee, Gary Stephens, Johnny Gibbs, Steve Martin, Phil Blake, Des Hasler, Geoff Toovey, Michael Monoghan, Matt Orford, Daly Cherry-Evans.

That's quite a lot of talent and a list that is far from complete.

Monoghan.....c'mon

I liked him but out of place on that list

 

[globaleagle]

Except the intercept one 🤭

Although....that's possibly why dce got the intercept...lol

 

[swoop]

As most people know I wasn't a DCE fan but the last few seasons he's been taking control of our teams and earning the money he deserves. Tailugi has surprised me.

 

[HoldenV8]

Scoring first is critical in this second half.
This will go down to the wire
Jake again very solid return.

IMO Jake only has to get through today OK and he'll be in the NSW pack for Game 3.

 

[HoldenV8]

Monoghan.....c'mon

I liked him but out of place on that list

Yeah he might have been a tad optimistic being in that list.

Would you have preferred Craig Field? Edit: Honestly, I never knew what Bozo saw in him.
