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

[Hunter Valley Eagle]

Much better attitude the 1st 2 games….but DCE was garbage & the Roosters mistakes killed them. That Brooks was far more dangerous than DCE is embarrassing. DCE full of humiliating plays, killed the attack non-stop, and his only idea in attack was a short ball to HO.

He had an off-game, but using words like "embarrassing" and "humiliating" is very far-fetched. Look at the positives, our captain and one of our elite had a poor game and we still beat a premiership heavyweight. Last year if DCE was off the pace we get trounced.

Agree. "Awful" was a bit hyperbolic. I think I was frustrated that we were dominating the chooks, and yet not putting them away as quickly or as easily as we could have.

As against the Rabbitohs we had 3 try’s disallowed & a couple more possible try’s. Same against the Roosters! I think the score flatters the Roosters as it did the Rabbitohs! Once the passes stick & the players click we will demolish more than just a few teams! If we are luckier with injuries than last year watch out! Aloiai is showing what he can do, Paseka is gonna get even better, Brown has brought the intimidation we’ve been missing. Lodge, Sipley, Schuster & Saab to come back……can’t wait for the boys to show up the likes of Tirdler & other death riders!

To close this thread out, I'm calling it early - JWH is cooked, this will be seen as his "one season too many" season.

He was embarrassingly off the pace on Sunday, thumped by Brown, Paseka, Haumole et al in quite a few tackles. Check out his hit-up at the start of the 2nd half. I almost felt sorry for him.

And that knock on in the first half, ouch.

He had no presence out there & made next to no metres, going backwards on occasion (is there such a thing as negative hit-up metres?).

Yeah I know he was coming back after suspension, but he looked gooorne.

Some great analysis of our attack here.
