Game Day: Manly vs Storm [Round 1, 2020]

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Rubbish game of footy

 

[Simonmyers11]

Cam Smith has single handedly won this game

 

[Tomay]

Well at least I won’t have to watch another storm game for a while.

we will go well this season.

 

[Cioran]

Must be nice to have a creative player like Smith in the team.

 

[HoldenV8]

That's two tries with dubious grounding. And shock horror both times the bunker has pretty much just glossed over it and quickly awarded to the Scum.

 

[globaleagle]

my god, do these commentators ever go back over what they say about smith or do they know and enjoy how fan boyish they are.

It's seriously almost a diagnoseable condition.

 

[dowdz]

To much dropped ball. Oh well. Another round 1 loss. II still feel the refs keep the storm in most games with their grub tactics. Bring on next week.

 

[Jigzkiller]

Des worked all his magic last year this looks like the dogs team he coached. Nice to see DCE earning his money again playing like a cat. Jorge how does he still get a game slower than any winger in the game.Tom for all the hype delivers very little,glad this season will be canned because we look well off the pace against a storm side way past their prime. PATHETIC.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Good defence today but storm controlled the game better in those conditions. Could not stop Cam Smith pulling the strings

Yeah it's annoying. Lattrell is another that we will have to endure this year

To be honest we had nothing in attack. Last tackle options from the turtle were crap. Well beaten. Move along & learn from it.

Looks like all the wrist slashers are out in force early this year

Yeo we got down there plenty of times and couldn’t convert ONCE!!

 

[Simonmyers11]

Why blow the penalty now, the storm have been wrestling all game. Should of been more penalties for slowing down

No slashing from me, can’t remember the last time we won first up!!

We’ll go well this year if we get a season.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Tafua needs to go or at least not play on the wing, pathetic

Levi is crap and threw a heap of forward passes that were not called

walker is not a 5:8

bunker is shot house, clear knock on for there first try and offside within the 10

Our attack Was slow and a mess

There will be no comp after next week so won’t have to worry

 

[XV-1]

Des got the tactics wrong today. Way to much play in the forwards.

Siro was poor. Levi is very average.

Why did we not use our backline?

Yes it’s hard to cop BUT

Smiths game highlights how much we will miss Fainu. Levi and Croker don’t have any creativity at all so Des will have to find away around that.I thought it would be a big issue and nothing I saw today changes that.

Thought our defence was superb with all tries off kicks but in reality we never looked like scoring a try but that may be due to our top players not having had a run at all this year on top of no creativity from 9 or 14.
No doubting our effort but Dessie has plenty of food for thought
No need for panic. Rusty playing a top side.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Yeo we got down there plenty of times and couldn’t convert ONCE!!

They did lay all over us. Our ruck speed was very very slow, and last year all our attack came from quick play the balls and off loads and when fainu was being creative
