Game Day: Manly v Tigers [Round 24, 2018]

[Sue]

So two non hookers who will play little time covering the hooker position off the bench the week after the team ran out of petrol and got hammered for the umpteenth time.

I’m still thinking we can win this but some of the bench use this year has been nothing short of staggering.

Anasta just nailed it with Barrett .

 

[Cliffymagic]

Did we even run outa petrol last time? Seemed to score at will. But just no desire to put the body on line near goal. Hoping we dont see that ridiculous retreating defence 10 metres out from the tryline from our edges.

For the benefit of those of us without Fox who are watching the Nein side.....what did Anasta say?

One of the first times I’ve heard anybody on the TV suggesting he’s been part of the problem!!

 

[BrendonStarr]

Be nice not to have 7 penalties in a row against us as well.

And Hodkinson. Has done about 3 or 4 good things since he joined us and about 30 bad things.

Perhaps he should be called "Teflon Trent" because nothing bad has stuck up until this point.

Basically said they have got a good list and the idea that the players love Barrett and plays for him is rubbish and the results prove it.

 

[simon64]

I think I'll just assume the position.

 

[manlyfan76]

Thompson just swore on TV.
Classic.

 

[eggson]

How good was thommo in the tunnel revving up

 

[HappilyManly]

For the benefit of those of us without Fox who are watching the Nein side.....what did Anasta say?

1) Baz's notice to vacate timing us suss
2) Penn shouldn't have bagged Baz publically whilst the Players need to play and front the media
3) Inconsistency is all on our player along with their lack of defensive effort
4) Brookie is atrocious

Yep. Yiu are probably right. But either way if you know you have a few players who may not be committed as the season has showed then a good idea to have some spare who might have a go .... instead of two blokes who will play 5 minutes.

Btw. Brandy said it was Tom Wright on bench ????

Hoppa is still around

 

[HoldenV8]

Defence switched off there big time. We got lucky that the Tigpies didn't know how to score, plus some good scrambling.

 

[HoldenV8]

Yes....well done DCE and a good run by Jake to set it up.

 

[mjb136]

Nice chez

 

[manlyfan76]

Jake to 6
