I didn't see all the game but some of the forwards looked good again. And geeez I wish Ray Ray had a bigger engine to be a forward coz he has a huge heart and fiesty as all get out. He would be awesome ripping in through the middle.

Time to give Navale a run with the big boys . Burbo is way to loose in defence and Waddle shouldn’t even be on the bench , give him a go.

From the match report

Talking points

Navren Willett found himself playing fullback later on in the contest after Clayton Faulalo was forced up the tunnel due to injury.

Caleb Navale was extremely impressive, always looking dominant in contact. He also picked up Manly’s first try of the afternoon and shut down Joash Papalii, who looked set to score out wide, with a bone rattling shot that forced an error.

Jake Arthur played his role well and steered the side around with his strong kicking game.

I haven’t seen the game yet, don’t know if he played, I will watch the replay on Bar TV and let you know.

I'd throw Ray in to 1st next week. We need that agro and looking out of the corner of their eyes for the big hit to throw off their backs

Dont get the hate for Burbo who was one of our best today. Now that he is having a run without injury 🤞he is improving each game.

He was very good today. Played tough, mistake free footy. Impressive performance as he gets better each week.

Nav deserves a run off the bench. Got to keep those A grade boys on there toes. We got props going down. And Jurbo just looking slower than ever and not in a hurry to get onside.

To day was a step forward. But the speed needs to improve. Nav can add to that.

I think it's time.

 

[Jay Eagle]

Still no Lodge ??

He's injured

 

[sheridanstand78]

I saw the game and the purple patch before half time set this win up, it was a bit you score I score after that and the team deserved their win.

I’m not a Waddles hater but I’d like to see Navale get a run off the bench

Ben is to slow in defence at times IMO he is not a starting player he is better coming off the bench . He is a Manly player so there is no hate there .
