Game Day: Manly v Rorters [Round 2, 2019]

[TimmyQ]

You throw an Aitken in along with Turbo back and the future gun Garrick as well , things look exciting ahead . Elliot on one wing and Hoppa or Suli on the other . Garrick belongs in the centres for me . Doesn't look to shabby really.

Totally agree re Garrick. He is class and will only get better. Definately too good to be wasted on the wing - he has speed, solid defence and lovely hands. Those couple of passes he threw in the 2nd half were top shelf - especially the long inside ball for Jake to score. That one landed on a dime on the big fellas chest. Excellent long term prospect with us for mine. Go Manly

 

[Shoe1]

I was there. A much better performance than last year v easts.

The young guys will only improve. Manly didn’t look too bad at times, but easts just had that extra professionalism and are a well oiled machine.

The manly comeback came from us actually using our right side back line. There is a clue there.

 

[Shoe1]

I should add that watching live Brendan Elliot is utterly unconvincing as a first grader.

I wouldn’t put him on the wing when turbo is back.

 

[BOZO]

Impressed at our second half come back from the dressing room to out score the roosters 3 tries to one and win the second half

This should give our boys some confidence in them selves .

So that is Elliot, Parker and Jorge out the door?

Yeah. We know how to sack players - Frankenstein, come back. all is forgiven - but all those 'replacements' being named are not playing football.

Just watched the replay of the game. I love the bias these commentators have to their fav teams. Blocker says, we might hear more about Jetski,s high hit Cordial but not a word was uttered about JWH high shot on Jake except the fact it took out Keary, ahh the blatant bias these clowns show

 

[Shoe1]

Parker fine as a back up. Jorge May have had his day.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Last week we won the first half, now we win the second half, says to me we have some ability but a long way to go in our teamwork, it has to become second nature.
Elgey can't be judged too harshly until he has Tom back - and a dry track. Hopefully then he'll start making an impression.
Very happy with youngsters Fainu, Waddell, Suli and Garrick. I feared the worst at 0-26 but we clawed back a bit of respectability and hopefully some confidence for next week.
I'll turn up again for next home game! (Brookie home game, that is)

Well that was a scare! At 0-16 I had put my phone away cause I was having dinner with a nice lady, so I thought we'd go on from there even though I never thought we'd win by much because it's early in the season. Blaming it on the injuries and the weather!

Parker in a canter.

This makes for a funny read... fark how things have changed.

This guy (Mr Invisible) was strangely absent last night.

 

[Kevinward777]

Relax people ..... I have been reliably informed by all the people who have been so kind in educating me over the past 12 months .. that all we need is a game plan ....

And some defensive structure.
