Woods adds nothing on the field. im not bashing him or hate him. It's just a fact.

 

[deanm]

I did watch them last night. However... did you just watch us tonight?

Yes , we won away from home and they scored some good tries from chancing their arm. The Fifita try was poor though

The best I can say about him is that he's not a complete liability. At least he can hold his own against first graders, sort of. We desperately need more forwards if he's the guy we call on after 3 injuries.

What a Jekyll and Hyde performance that was, pretty much summed up where the team are now.

Erratic and ill disciplined mixed in with attacking brilliance.

The you score, I score that we saw tonight was really poor to watch. So many of their tries came from our mistakes. The team has to start building some resilience.

We fly out to 10-0 with consummate ease and allow them straight back in. Our right side defence looked extremely vulnerable, poor defensive reads, missed tackles, out of position and out of sorts, Foz toyed with them at times.

DCE again had a mixed night, 3 bread and butter kicks astray game them outs when we had a chance to build pressure mixed in with a couple of nice try assists. I do wish he could be more consistent.

Tommy is finding his range, defensively he needs to lift!!

Again, forward passes from dummy half, it is our biggest weakness!!

Grateful for the two points, now to put the whingers to the sword!!

 

[double hoops]

Maybe we swap talau and Garrick.

Or just have Talau defend there and Garrick in attack

 

[Ned]

Was a win so take that. Look at the positives, was a good hit out for Saab and Lodge to break the rust off after time out of the game, we get Oshay back next week and maybe sips so woods out which is a plus. Just got to keep the focus on wining and we're right in this comp. Slime got pumped by fins and raiders, we haven't been yet. Have a look at 1eye eel, they are blowing up at BA, deservedly. The slime I saw gave up with 15 to go on friday, he's lost the dressing room and they are a shambles, be great to pump them again and be the final nail on his time at the slime. Then Barret will take over lol, might be another spoon coning up for those clowns.

Hard game to unpack.

Pros:

• See Warriors (very lethargic). We bounced
• Titans were desperate
• Paseka, Saab, Koula were great imo among others
• Missing Aloiai, Sipley, Brown, Burbo (4 starters)
• Talau ! What a surprise this season !

Cons:

• Defense, Defense, Defense (all season)
• Very slow and immobile in the middles
• Our bench (Matterson not even used)
• Woods, Garrick struggled

I'm going to take that win. It was paramount. Now, most of all, I want revenge against those pricks in Blue and Yellow at Brooky

I take Matterson not being used as a positive. I was very worried about him in the forward rotation. He was obviously there as a backup only.

 

[Disco]

So who drops out when lodge is playing, with aloai, sipley and brown back.. gonna be interesting

Dont think there will be too many games when Paseka, Jake, Aloiai, Lodge, Toff and Brown are all available.

Will be a nice problem to have

Straight from the horses mouth.. Brown was keen to play tonight but coaching staff wanted him 100% for eels.

I agree. He can catch the ball and run 2 or 3 metres. But that's about it. If that is all that it takes to play first grade rugby league for Manly we are setting the bar very low.

 

[Waz13]

No such thing as an easy win in the NRL.. and the Titans are certainly not a s### team

They came in desperate and we could have easily lost that game two or three times but the boys didn't..so give them credit.. support the team..that's all I'm saying

In this comp the Titans are the definition of a s$&@ team. 0 wins heading into round 8. But I get your point, teams can win on their day.

exactly and we played dumb stupid football did we not?

Good if true. I guess they backed our pack to hold their own against the weakened Titans pack.

Big risk that very nearly didn't pay off though.

Yeah I forgot about brown, he's back too next week then, nice.

 

[hozza]

Deadset bludger of an effort. Defence went out the window for both teams. Thought a few decisions went our way as well. But as others have pointed out some positives. Best of all we got the 2pts.

Don’t look back and move on to next week, at home against the Slime.

 

[Port Eagle]

Good win in a danger game. Manly will smash the eels next week.

See your there Silvertails!!!

I guess you could also see it as the club not wanting to risk further injury. If Brown played tonight and injured himself, we'd all be up in arms.

Turned out to be a very good decision.

Think Sipley is another week or two away..
