times like this I miss @EOL now nesting on the GC 's mega quotes

 

[NREagle]

Lawton hurt...

 

[NREagle]

That was soft....

 

[HK_Eagle]

Defence is still a worry. They started that set on their own goal line and we just let them waltz all the way down the field.

Dont worry we could be in the Cowboys boots.

 

[skull61]

Hope we don’t clock off seen it before

 

[grassy]

Terrible defence. We just watched em

 

[globaleagle]

lol

tom didn't even try

 

[HK_Eagle]

FFS. We had a set line and they were playing the ball on their own line. Where the farrrkkk is the sense of urgency? The very first hit up made over 10m and landed on their belly for a quick PTB. That was putrid defence

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

If arm grabbing was an olympic sport our boys would be gold medalists

 

[eaglebuzz]

Did you expect him to run the length of the field?

No, just more than 5km/h.

Any attempt at an actual tackle just now would have been nice too.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Oh excellent. Condon, another arm grabber

 

[Jerry1]

Turbo - na I’m not tackling that

 

[Ryan]

For a player who's just come on, that was pathetic by Condon

 

[winnyason]

Yeah that was a dumb play from Croker. If we are smart, we are making yards when we shift the ball to the edges. That should be the play in the second half. I'm talking early ball to the edges, for the purpose of yardage, not pressure passes at the line for the purpose of attacking.

Honestly know it a broken record but imagine this team with a decent 9.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Manly has stopped playing , Raiders throwing it around , expect a hectic finish

 

[HK_Eagle]

I think this game has hidden our defensive issues. Raiders have still controlled the ruck better and made meters much more easily.

 

[eaglebuzz]

If we had turned up for the first 15 mins and hadn't clocked off for this last 15 we could have easily cracked 50. Missed opportunity.

 

[globaleagle]

leading by...22

Yeah we aren’t nearly “ back”yet , but at least it’s more fun watching.
