Stop giving away dumb errors and penalties. Cannot let them have more possession. We've bombed 2 try's at least. Must kick and put pressure on Leo.
 
Really poor 10 minutes there when they scored the 3 tries but otherwise we’ve looked pretty good.

Koula looks unreal, keep feeding him the ball and things will happen 100%

Momentum shifted when DCE forced it down the short side and put all the pressure on Brooks, we will be a better team once he is gone
 
Have to be proud of their effort; we’ve clearly got an inferior middle, which was exposed in Melbourne’s five minute blitz, but we do have heart.

I am not impressed with the standard of refereeing. There were a few occasions where Melbourne slowed us down but hadn’t won contact and we should have been given a set restart.

The biggest difference in the two sides so far, is Melbourne find their front with the ball on almost every ruck. Until our defence is able to slow their ruck down by winning contact and putting Melbourne on their back, they’ll have the points to win this in the second half.
They try to play touch footy by basically dropping into their chest at any contact. Pap basically involuntary tackles himself.

I think our defence can be pretty ineffective at times too. We don’t scrap enough. Melbourne were given a penalty with three minutes remaining in the half and kicked for touch—so set defence for Manly—and Howarth crabbed across field and Simpkin made an ineffective one-on-one tackle and the set rolled from there until an error was made. Why we wouldn’t have three players in the tackle is beyond me there. He should have been buried by a brick wall, instead he was able to find his front and generate a quick play-the-ball. We need to be better than that.
 
Far out Grant annoys me.

Every tackle he doing something a bit grubby (a Storm trait no doubt), then he just loiters in the ruck and gets away with it. A ref could legitimately penalise him every tackle he makes!

He is a good player, one of the best in the comp actually. But he doesn’t need to stoop to such negative tactics.

As for the half, we did well to get back into it. We need to improve to keep it close though.
 
Set Restarts are 2 all.
