NRL score 40-24
Witt seems the real deal........and Burns did very well when he played the first half.
Also the 2nd string side that played the first half carved up. In terrible raining conditions. It was very Positive.
The 2nd half the A-team came on and did well, Monas did get an arm/shoulder injury early on. Nut he stayed on the field and the last 20 mins he seemed to be well over the injury....
Tezza did OK we didn't see much of him play as he was on the opposite side of field, there were NO tries scored on his side. Ballin was the choice of the Hookers. But Dunley and Chad also did well. The BK's performed well. Donald scored a top try in the corner showing good strength to get over. Hoppa looked terrific; he's still going from one side of the field from the other looking for the ball, But there probably his instructions?
Dessie had all the guys playing in there proper positions.
Witt was kicking goals from everywhere. He may have missed 1 from the sideline but he also kicked another 3 or 4 from the sideline.....
The NRL side dominated the only problem was that The tigers did score 2 or 3 on Donalds wing. Generally because our defence slided in to much to the centre them the Tigers threw the ball out wide in some sizeable gaps.....Matt Reick scored one in that fashion, funnily enough just minutes after I was sledging the crap out of him
:lol: :lol: There wasn't one player that we could say played poorly. But the best player for 80 mins was Witt!
karl johnson played well in his debut game. I was also happy to see Lenno make the step up. He did a top job in trying conditions. His defence seemed solid enough. While his attack was good. Not a star but we do have an option if required again. Glenn Stewart also played very well he's an absolute workhorse.
The only disappointing thing is they didn’t score 50 points……even though the AE chaps were spurring them on with the “Manly…..50…….. Manly…..50�……chant.
It was a lot of fun with plenty of one liners/sledges which even put a thew smiles/grimaces on the tigers supporters dials.
Premier League :|
Lost convincingly. The main positive was Creary. He is such an asset in the PL side. He put many big hits on. He was the goal kicker and kicked a ripper from the sideling. Watmough also played he put on some big hits and strong runs but also lost the ball in tackles a few times, so it wasn't one of his best games. PL didn't play well but the rain was torrential and with lighting cracking in front of you i'm sure it could be a little off putting.

Wasn't good they also lost convincingly. Our kicking game was ordinary. While the tigers kicking game was great. Tom Joseph looked impressive he also scored a try.
SG Ball
Won convincingly. Those boys played well and they looked big. Aaron Groom played well. But so did most who played. Plenty of promise in those young chaps.

They Lost, but can't comment I didn't see them play
Not the highest quality photos in the rain and night.
