MANLY v Tigers: - Pre game discussion

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Tigers paying $5 on sportsbet to win.Its already looking ominous for them.

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

....Kelly is average to say the least. He get's manhandled way too easily....

I'm more concerned about his handling......

......The slack ball handling and play the balls should be highlighted......

So just to be sure, the concerns are
man handling, handling and ball handling....?

Kels is The Groper

Predicting a shift of Marty to back row. Wonder if that is based on any info or merely a hunch.

Fox have NFI. They said Marty would go to lock last week. I'd say they Baz will leave the backrow as is and put Lussick on the bench for Parker or Cullen.

Chelsea Handler?

I'll probably get shot down for this but Kelly is average to say the least. He get's manhandled way too easily. He needs another 10kg's on him.

And another 10mof pace over 100m, I thought we were getting another speedster, but not to be.

Like the Cox Plate, Weight for Age. Trent could put a 10kg saddle pad on him.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Complacency..... You're not welcome here.

Plenty of people on here getting ahead of themselves just last week.

We could put Clint in the...oh that's right...

 

[desreturnoftheking]

It's gonna be a pummeling.. I think we will reach 50 at brookie. The tigers are woeful our pack will roll theres and our halves will destroy there park footballers Brooks and lolohea . get the popcorn ready boys

 

[HappilyManly]

Baz looked mean after his Archer meeting.

He will hammer it in to the Team to be super quick in rolling out of a tackle, to keep their hands off the ball at dummy half and to STFU

I couldn't understand this...I honestly thought the Panthers would win. Jake T is a massive loss; he keeps the middle tight and his post contact metres and offloading really get us on the front foot. Penrith were playing for their season in front of their home crowd and they would be embarrassed and desperate after the match against Souths.

We were flat the week before after a big win against the Sharks and we hadn't lost a game in months; it's hard to stay up for long periods. All it was going to take was Penrith to get their tails up and play with more enthusiasm than us for the momentum to be win the home team; that's exactly what happened from the first set of the match and thanks to the referees, it didn't change.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

So, will we have learned our lessons and come out like little goody two shoes OR will the rot continue?

I'm not sure it will actually make a difference, now we've complained we will be " marked men".

 

[ricardo]

Would love to see Lane cement second row with Winterstein for the rest of the year and push for full time gig there. Massive unit, just needs the skill/experience/desire factor bedded down

 

[1969]

This is a great opportunity to rack up some score to push the for and against well over 100... Cant see how the boys won't be fired up for this one, unless of course we get:

"Chechened"

Manly by plenty!!!

 

[pjayz]

Yep, you've got a handle on it.

 

[1969]

Another plus is Big Marty will be celebrating his 100th first grade game, and being against his old club, I would expect a extra effort will be on the cards

 

[pjayz]

By all accounts we just need to turn up to win by 30. I hope so, and the debacle of last Saturday should fire them up; however, that defensive effort would have taken a mighty toll on the boys.

It's the 60-80min mark I'm concerned with. We need to make the most of our bench which we haven't really done the last two weeks.

 

[globaleagle]

Bonus!

The game is on over here at 9pm...!

so you all can probably have the pleasure of my typing company!
