The Raiders fans sitting in front of me at the pub have gone home.
They were pretty loud for the first 5 minutes.

At the game, Manly are solid alright

Last week must've just been one of those weeks

 

[Jerry1]

Really disappointed in that decision to take the two mid way through the half. That really hurt our momentum while we had them on the ropes, and although we are well ahead, we have looked a bit clunky since.

Foot off the gas now but hopefully we’ll go on with it big time in the second half.

 

[Cliffymagic]

Last week souths had Sam burgess beasting us up. Canberra got no beast mode.

 

[Clay]

Soft first try but have been brilliant since. Cotric with 2 try saving tackles. Right edge lacking some class. Hopefully Kelepi is ok

 

[HK_Eagle]

OK, much better energy and intent in that half. They have responded well to last week, and probably spear-headed by Tommy.

We still look quite clunky in attack, particularly from set plays. However, in second phase stuff, generated from offloads, we look unstoppable. I'm still far from convinced on our 5/8 situation and suspect it's the area that needs to come together to improve the set play.

Anyway, stay switched on in the second half. I suspect we will struggle a little with energy in the back of the second, with Kelepi off injured early and AFB having played big minutes already. Just hope we have taken enough out of the Raider's tank.

Score first in the second half and we win

Raiders making Mat Wright look good.

Matt scored a few of those sideline tries last year.
And he is confident under the high ball 🙂

Keep piling on the points Manly

 

[Simonmyers11]

Need to go on with this

 

[niccipops]

Great start. I haven't sighted a fat lady yet so keep it coming Manly men.

 

[manlyfan76]

Our middle 3 are owning the faiders middle 3

API playing out of his skin, sublime little pass on to Tom T for his try

To be fair, the experts on here were not exactly "on the money" for the first 5 minutes either.
Provided a few laughs though, so well done fellas.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Gotta keep the pedal to the metal though!

Go get em boys!

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

WE Should be one try to the better (parkers bombed effort) i hope it doesnt bite us when we have our usual manly fade late in the game lol

 

[Class of 96]

This is more like it! Bloodbath alert 🙂

Ha, that’s why I avoided the first half.......just in case!!

 

[Chip and Chase]

Raiders hardly touched the ball in the first 25. I think they had two sets and they scored in the first of those. Siro having a good game, his off loads have set up some good second phase.

Hope we bury them in the second half and if the bulk of the tries are on rapana then even better

Thankfully we are playing the Faders.

The flip side is that we haven't used Shaun Lane yet so he is fresh.
