Game Day: Raiders v Manly [Round 23, 2021]

[pt73]

Too many errors and attack totally out of synch.

 

[The Indian]

Sideways crap all half....then with 20 seconds to go to halftime we turn it back on the inside to Jake. Yep that's us tonight.

Canberra are awful we still.play half decent we'll beat these chumps.

But after that half who knows

 

[eagle66]

Doing well to stay this close. Big 2nd half with new ar$Eagles inserted

 

[The Eagle Has Landed]

I hate to say it but we really are a one man team.

 

[Dan]

How did rapana not get penalised for kicking Croker. Croker went to tackle him and rapana kicked him straight into he guts

 

[Jerry1]

Hasler should have played turbo rested him for the next two.

 

[bob dylan]

Isnt Jakes attack ordinary these days.

I understand his role has changed with Schuster and Oli.

 

[Simonmyers11]

we are doing it to ourselves again. I dont think raiders look that dangerous, we look more dangerous and have had way more chances. Some good last ditch defense from the raiders. We can come back. Just a little more urgency, some players going half pace

 

[Cioran]

I missed the first 20 minutes, has Suli passed yet?

 

[Rafferty]

And thus why Brad Parker is ahead of Moses Suli in our centres pecking order.

Moses sucks in defense most of the time.

Wasn’t Suli’s fault, that was all on Funa

 

[Nordburg]

The team has played well lately but does any else think they looked a bit more dangerous on the left when Lawton was running holes

 

[mave]

7 errors is a massive impediment, if you don't have Tommy to score/set up points for us.

Game plan needs to change without him.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Isnt Jakes attack ordinary these days.

I understand his role has changed with Schuster and Oli.

looks way better when his brother is playing. slow motion tonight

 

[MadMarcus]

First the ref lets go a clear knock on at the play the ball. Then he gifts Canberra back the ball after they knock on.

Is he having a lend?

I got caught up working and tuned in just in time to see this. Has it been this way all game?

 

[Spartan Eagle]

Croker should remember to stick to dummy half.. instead of kicking why doesn't try to make a few quick runs out of dummy half. Cherry should stand up.. and the refs can go hang themselves

 

[sheridanstand78]

We got out smarted big time in half 1. So many dumb errors with the ball, twice being thrown into touch, not finishing our sets. allowing one on one steals and our pants pulled down and spanked by a team that is fighting for their lives.

The team has a habit of playing some breathtaking games then producing a shocker like this one so far. resembling defeats after big wins against Parra earlier in the season.

The Oka no try is a joke Wighton missed him plain and simple and they rule obstruction. I hate that rule with a passion!

We need to build pressure, be more patient. The bleeding obvious is we lack cohesion without our number 1 and it is irritating to see him as a ball boy when we really need him out there.

Time for the team to make a statement and come from behind and prove they can do it!

 

[eagleron]

Schuster too fat, slow and can't tackle.

Schuster isn't looking to advance the ball anymore, he is taking the tackle every time now, not even looking to set up, one player missing and we're just sh!t

 

[Ryan]

**** we look **** tonight. Why is Croker attempting to kick? Why does Schuster look so lethargic and like he's playing within himself ? Why do we look so disinterested ? We look completely lost in attack (predictable and boring). Our forwards are getting completely dominated. Why do we have these absolute flop games from time to time?. Why do we continue with Garrick at the back? He gets physically dominated (apart from ONE game) ! We are really starting to look like a one man team. Apart from Turbo , there's nothing here (tonight).

 

[Simonmyers11]

The team has played well lately but does any else think they looked a bit more dangerous on the left when Lawton was running holes

plenty of holes there, agree. Need some more straight running. Quac looks likely every single time. With out Tom though, the defence is not being sucked in enough, and not creating the over lap which normally happens. Too much one out passing, not enough out the back onto running attackers

 

[Snake]

I can’t remember too many games this year where our pack has dominated. It’s a clear weakness. When we have Tom, he is so potent that we would have scored a try with the ball we had early in the match. Sometimes that scoreboard pressure we apply can mask the deficiencies of our pack and turn the game our way.

alas he is not playing so the team is forced to win ugly and we don’t have the pack to win ugly.
