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

[Mark from Brisbane]

8-6 at H/T

BUT will they turn up in the second half??

 

[Paw93]

Way too many errors in us. Defence has generally been good on our line and crap in general play. Parker made a silly decision seeing Fonuas loose arm but still coming off his wing.

 

[HappilyManly]

Turbo, Suli and Joel messed up scoring 😕

Handling errors are still in Suli and Jorge 😡

Baz needs to fire up Manly because we are scattered

Carn Maaaanly

 

[Mitch]

When does Hodko and Wright come on....

 

[Simonmyers11]

Could of been ahead by a couple of tries. Thought the forward pass was a bit tough, been letting those go all year

 

[Michael Clare]

This game is turning into an error riddled grinding affair and I'm worried that this will favour the Tigers in second half. Hope I'm wrong!

 

[Simonmyers11]

Dce has had a great game with the boot

We are well behind on the "fifty-fifty" calls like that one in this 2018 season. I'm getting well and truly used to it.

Come on Trent? Probably all the time.

The Tigers have got away with 5 or 6 already tonight. Any time Hadley has called ‘flat ball’ or ‘short ball’ it’s been a forward one

 

[Michael Clare]

There was a game (maybe Penrith) where he lost it 3 times. Got a pen once.

You're right - they targeted George big time that day.

 

[Luke_m]

I swear Tom's pass was flat that's usually always given a try !!! Dumb errors have cost us three tries so frustrating to watch !! Cherry is finally running to the line and kicking the ball into space Tigers are asleep if they wake up it's going to get ugly

[KOMORI]

Reggies are getting boring... what time does A Grade start?

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

The big three have come out in the last week supporting Trent Turnbull. Let's see if he can get a vote of confidence from the rest of his side, including those still remaining on the front bench.

 

[Kevinward777]

Put Tom Wright into centre and Suli/Parker on wing.

1 min to go -:time for Tigers to score

Parker shouldn’t be in the side fullstop. He gets smashed in attack, and his defence is woeful. At least Suli offers something! He can break the line and make some metres doing a tough hit-up. But Parker???? I can’t see anything, nothing, zip. Hopefully, he gets hooked and Barrett’s wonderful decision to pick Wright will actually serve a purpose.

 

[skull61]

Wonder what the master motivator Barrett will come up with at half time

 

[Michael Clare]

When does Hodko and Wright come on....

Try this ... Parker off ... Suli onto the wing ... Walker into his centre spot and Hodgo into five-eight. I know you're under resourced and trying to do it on your own, Trent, but it's not rocket science!

 

[HappilyManly]

Wright should replace Suli, Parker can move in off the line

 

[grassy]

They seem to have us covered on our right side.We then go left and that’s when we make the errors and become confused.

The refs would have it on their tip sheet “Turbo is susceptible to a forward pass so chances are...”

I actually think that will suit us. Lots of stop start and dropped balls from the tigers, falls into our hands as they do have trouble scoring. We might drop a few balls but if the tigers keep letting us off the hook, we have no problems scoring points. Just need to keep them down their end. Good kicking from dce and good chase. No piggy back penalties

 

[niccipops]

Ah, this team does my head in.
Tigers are pretty shyte tonight too.
In with a chance.
