Post-Game Discussion Manly v Roosters [Round 2, 2024]

[The Wheel]

Still can’t believe that fark wit in the bunker took that try off Hamole

 

[eaglebuzz]

I'm so pleased with how our pack has played the past 2 weeks, we have monstered packs that on paper are much better than ours. Our bench has been huge too. Brown and Brooks both pressing their cases for buy of the season.

 

[danny-boy]

We were handed one of the toughest starts to a season and here we are 2 from 2.

Well done lads.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

It was a great win. Our left side defence in the first half was awful but better in the second half. Even though DCE and Turbo played below their best we won . Good signs for the year ahead.

 

[joeboy]

Great win. Couple of points

Aloai was very good

Brown adds a lot

Jake gives away too many penalties

Still not convinced of Garrick at centre or Paulo on the wing

Brookes is a great foil.

Ola was massive, unlucky not to get a try

I hate the turbo hit up on the fourth.

It limits all other options and I don’t see any discernible advantage, it’s stupid and needs to go

Waddell needs to learn to play the ball

If croker isn’t playing 80 he needs to be a lot crisper than that. There was some shocking passes.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Fantastic to win a game in the middle with grit and intent. Yes, the edge defence still needs work, and yes, we should have scored more points, but we really worked for that and really deserved the win. And Jake was quietly phenomenal.

 

[HK_Eagle]

The level of scrutiny Sutton must have applied to Ola's try was incredible. You'd applaud it if it was the consistent process every time (much like forward passes).

Imagine if he applied the same scrutiny to that saved try where Teddy collected Talau with a knee to the head! Crickets!

Great team performance
11 players over 100 meters
Our attack will improve

Wow that’s outstanding!

Brooks looks good
Ugly gritty win
Should of won by a lot more
Attack all over the place but will take the win Well done boys
Still a help of a lot of improvement in us

 

[LeonardCohen]

Is anyone else absolutely sick to death of Dom Young scoring 100m tries against us?! And why is it always Garrick giving chase?! I never want to see that ever ever again in my life.

 

[Captain Moondog]

Roosters are a good side. Very impressive from our guys.

 

[BOZO]

Wow that’s outstanding!

What was even more outstanding was that those amazing Manly stats were against a Quality 5 star Premiership Contender

Agree but some of today had to do with the Roosters defence. They don’t crumble on edges like a lot of other teams. If we’d play the Tigers today, we’d have put on 60. The Roosters are a team that always scrap and save tries or find a way to disrupt your rhythm in attack.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Brown played a powerful game. His first hit on JWH was great. He and Brooks are the buys of the season. Congratulations on 150 games Brownie keep bringing it in a Manly jumper.

 

[The Royal Soup]

You're a new man Soupy, I like it a lot

we looking good

 

[The Royal Soup]

shout out to Oshay today, i thought he was huge!!

 

[Nordburg]

Darren Brown played a powerful game. His first hit on JWH was great. He and Brooks are the buys of the season. Congratulations on 150 games Brownie keep bringing it in a Manly jumper.

Not bad for a 54 year old who retired around 25 years ago

 

[BOZO]

Winning Feels so good
We will all sleep with a smile tonight
