Game Day: Raiders v Manly [Round 12, 2023]

[HK_Eagle]

C'mon Keppie. Good controlled mongrel

 

[HoldenV8]

Early on I thought it could be a long afternoon.

I'm liking things so far though.

 

[Disco]

Christ Schuster makes a difference in attack.

We need to work with this kid, not turn on him

I'm going to yell this so Seibs hears it.

WE LOOK SO MUCH BETTER WITH JAKE AT 13.

Now I will whisper this.

It helps Shoe is back of course.

 

[40 nil]

How much is our attack with Jake at lock?

 

[globaleagle]

forwards can't call for challenges

rule#4

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

No look passes farkin no look passes

 

[HK_Eagle]

FFS, Burbo taking after Turbo more than Jake with the body resilience.

 

[Jethro]

There goes Burbo and on comes Fainu

 

[globaleagle]

the shu to burbo connection isn't working as well as I thought it was.

Oops, Burbo done a hammy 🙁

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

How much is our attack with Jake at lock?

So much better. Muscle memory for the backline given he's been the man for so long.

 

[HK_Eagle]

We need to respect possession. It should be our #1 priority at this stage. Then just focus on basics... run hard, tackle hard.

 

[Jethro]

Try,Tommy

 

[HK_Eagle]

Nice play between Schu and Turbo

And special note to Parks running a great line to put defenders in two minds

 

[HoldenV8]

This team is really confusing at times.

We know Jake is better at prop, yet today we look better with him back as a lock. Probably because unlike Aloiai, Jake plays more like a ball player than an extra prop when in the No.13.

It confirms to me that we need a ball playing lock rather than an extra front rower. Which is why I'd like to see Jake still at prop, Shoe in 13, Froggy to 6 (or vice versa) and bring Gordon up to play dummy half.

 

[globaleagle]

Try!!!!

almost killed sutton to award that

 

[Jethro]

Where has this Tommy been for the first 11 rounds?

 

[eaglebuzz]

Schuster just adds so much more in attack than Johns. If he could get the laziness out of his defensive game he'd be the premier #6 in the competition.

 

[grassy]

Tommy boy

 

[2830 Eagle]

The Shu fits
