Game Day: Sea Eagles v Bulldogs, Sunday 31, May 2020 Discussion [Round 3, 2020]

[The Wheel]

Well done boys probably should have been 50 but I will take that as a nice warm up for next week

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Wow, Lewis holds onto Levi's jumper. Danny gets the bin.

Oh well, no matter.

Lewis is an absolute grub

 

[Cliffymagic]

Good win and warm up for the rest of the season.

This was a good solid win tonight. The opposition didnt throw much at us and at times Manly were sloppy with the ball especially the first half. I loved the attitude in defence and the skill our backrow has gives our pack amazing balance. Ceccin decided to help the dogs in the last 20 minutes and they got one try from a kick. A bit more composure and if Rueben got his kicking boots on and 50 points was on the cards, Good start, good to get the rust out and now for Whingermatta at worm park, this will be a much better game for Manly to test themselves.

Croker is rubbish, our attack has been great if parts, but still needs some polish, some terrible kicks in attacking positions we really should’ve put at least 50 on them, still, great win

You would think he is only there because of the Faniu situation. Imagine Faniu coming on as he did last year off the bench with these new rules

 

[Cioran]

Most useless pack of muppets ever to wear maroon and white. Sack the lot of em

Seriously: they could have been better tonight but everything lookin on the up. Good structures. Good fitness. Everybody playing their part. Future so bright we gotta wear shades.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Parker is an absolute machine now. Becoming one of my favourite players

Moses is a real weapon too now

 

[mickqld]

@mickqld are you loving this???

Yep except the goal kicking and kicks from Walker , Croker

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

If it wasn't Canterbury you could almost feel sorry for them. They have absolutely nothing. They sack their Xfactor players before the comp and have a busted Foran as their only hope.
Someone will still blame Des and the cap for that roster but im sorry. That side is all the current management and coach.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Good win won by plenty but could of got plenty more
Some improvement needed for next but should rise to the occasion
Sometimes you play to level of the opposition and that’s what they did tonight
The 6 again call can influence a tight game , Cecchin was inconsistent in his calls tonight , Get on the wrong side of a ref and he could punish you

 

[The Wheel]

Might pop over to the Kennel

 

[simon64]

I might be in the minority but I thought Walker tried too hard tonight.
Needs to be a bit more selective and play more simply.

Hopefully he's better next week.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

With the exception of Paseka (who is entitled to be a little more rusty than the rest of them), the front rowers were excellent tonight. AFB, Marty and Keppie all played hard. Really smacked Napa when they got the chance, too.

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

Paseka had a tough night but that's his first game in how long? Wasn't he injured at the end of last year as well? If he can get a run of games he will go alright.
DW still isn't a 5/8 in my eyes. Sure he does a job and has some flashes but he doesn't have the ability to be a dedicated playmaker.
Problem is our centre boys are going ok so if he did move back the 4 who misses out?

Big call but apart firm Tommy out best tonight was Levi. I hear a lot of he went ok but come on tonight he was excellent in a new team. He's a Kiwi international so can obviously play a bit. By end of year i recon he could be a gun.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Moses is a real weapon too now

That first try today was one of the few times I have seen Moses steamroll the opposition without winding up his run first. I’m happy with how he is coming along

 

[manlyfan76]

Good warm up game.
I thought we were playing the titans by the size of the crowd.

 

[manlyfan76]

That first try today was one of the few times I have seen Moses steamroll the opposition without winding up his run first. I’m happy with how he is coming along

He must have early ball, with a head of steam he is dangerous.

 

[Sheikheagle]

Wow Keppie is a talent skies the limit. Big and mobile.

 

[wombatgc]

Seriously Ceccin, 7 restarts for the doggies in last 20 minutes. Get real.

And unfortunately that is their new loophole to sway games. The Sutton Cartel will be all over this.

 

[Disco]

Turbo played alright I guess.....
