Game Day: Manly v Titans [Round 6, 2021]

[Kevinward777]

I loved watching the defence and effort of Harper today. This guy really wants it. Love it.

People didn’t want the younger guys coming in but four new players in Saab, Schuster, Harper and Guac and they have shown they belong. Saab has issues he must work on, but his speed gives us certain tries that other wingers couldn’t convert. Schuster is so classy in attack but I knew that; however, his defence has been great. Gauc with no match fitness was still really hard to stop. Great to see.

Injuries forced three of these changes but it showed they should have been there from the get go.

Great win.

Schuster and Saab have both been in the side from round one. Guacamole was injured for four weeks.

Well that was right up there with a good root 🙂

It's been a while coming..pun intended

No that’s @Technical Coach not me

Was thinking the exact same thing Mark. Where's my mate ? #crickets

Your point is what? I said three came in due to injuries exactly because Saab started. Schuster did not play round one at all he came in due to injury so you’re 0 from 2.

Yes Guac has played one game and that goes against my argument how exactly?

The Referee certainly was on a mission to give the Titans a leg up by giving a hell of a lot of Set Restarts and especially in that second half.

SET RESTARTS

1st Half:
The Time Figures in Brackets = Approximate Time Left on Clock for the half when the Set Restart occurred.

Manly: 3 - Tackle Number: 0.
Titans 2 - Tackle Number: 2 (25:01), 2 (3:04).


2nd Half:
The Time Figures in Brackets = Approximate Time Left on Clock for the half when the Set Restart occurred.

Manly: 3 - Tackle Number: 2 (31:18), 3 (17:08), 1 (10:51).
Titans 5 - Tackle Number: 2 (36:46), 5 (22:43), 1 (10:17), 5 (3:38), 2 (6:19).


GAME TOTAL:

Manly: 3
Titans 7

Not questioning your figures at all, but sheeeeesh it felt like they got more than five in that second half...

 

[WiseyEagle]

Morgan Harper, in the team to stay now. Suli playing reserves from now on.

Agree, but a bloody expensive reserve grader!

Had a feeling we would. Big Fifi can tend to read his press too much at times.

Yes Guac has played one game and that goes against my argument how exactly?

And it should be remembered that Guac is realistically on borrowed time because he is likely to be the one back at Blacktown when Siro returns.

 

[Captain Moondog]

Is the team coming straight home or staying in Mudgee?

They played pretty good there. Mudgee Sea Eagles.

Settle down, we all get things wrong now and then. Manly just won by 36 points to nil, and we have a five time grand final coach at the helm. Enjoy! My grin is broad, I hope yours is too.

D D D Dessies back... Back again.

Hey - you went at me for some reason. But yes, my grin is broad and as much as the tries were great, the defence was even better. Although, I think now more than ever being effective in attack has a real influence on your defence. Tom helps on both ends.

Spot on champion.

 

[pjayz]

Maybe Des read your posts and thought, geez, this bloke knows a thing or two. Better get some youth into the side.

I always said Des was a smart cookie. But as I always say - it isn’t youth for youth’s sake - it’s the right youth.

 

[Kevinward777]

I always said Des was a smart cookie.

As are you.

Yer and how about the lady in front of Holbrook‘s box holder her kid up in his manly colours in his face, gold.

That was a cracker too ....

 

[Waz13]

That's what I can't figure out. WTF can't Walker run those same lines - he would stand up in the line flat footed and just distribute. It's like the sweep play just got put on ice rounds 1-5. Lack of a quality hooker didn't hurt us too badly today 🙂

Because Walker is not Tommy. He does not strike fear in opposing defensive lines. At the start of the coverage Big Mal was worried with Tom playing, and he’s a fair judge. Tom is top 3 fb, prob right behind Teddy imo.
