Sipley - Impact

[Heckenberg]

He’s a solid worker and a fun bloke to have round. Keep him in the side

 

[HK_Eagle]

Tof’s done a reverse Sampson (the biblical dude, not Vonny)

Cam says Vonny does a great reverse cowboy.

Just quietly, who’s the cowboy in the mix?

I hope his performance inspired Keppie to fight his way back into the top 17.

A very impressive performance coming into the first game of the year. Showing how much he wants to stay in this first grade team. This is the type of attitude and competition for spots we need, now Keppie is on big watch.

Arguably the best game I have seen the big fella play.

 

[NREagle]

Think it also shows how much important it is to manage the workload of our forward pack. Sipley and Woods both fresh and full of intensity (although Woods slightly rusty and you could tell he'd only just started training with the other players).
It's a long season and to keep up that level into the finals they will all need well timed breaks from the top squad (or less on field time if they are continually in the 17).

 

[Alfreddo]

He was so impressive.

16 runs for 160 metres

60 post contact metres

3 tackle breaks

22 tackles

Zero missed tackles

All this in 43 minutes game time

 

[XV-1]

Superb game today!! Great in defence with the extra 1 percenters.

Our best forward today against the tigers

 

[Simonmyers11]

Made a couple of good cover tackles around the ruck as well. Putting in

Yep definitely ahead of woods and Mr Potato Head. Looks much leaner this season.

 

[master blaster]

Yep, he is making the most of his opportunities and should stay there for a while hopefully

 

[Rafferty]

Our best forward 2 weeks in a row

 

[Uk eagle]

He's doing exactly what you want a bench forward to do. Upping the tempo and revving up his team mates

 

[Remy]

These two games from Sipley has been immense, his bench impact is so important for us now. Credit to Seibold to have him make Sipley earn it by starting him at the season at blacktown, only reason why Sipley playing like he's got a chip on his shoulder. Hope he continues the form, a full strength bench of: utility?, Sipley, Bully, Keppie is very handy.

Perhaps we should drop Schu and Tom back to BW too?

Sipley is proving hard to stop. Is this his best form since joining Manly a few years ago?
Not sure what his stats were (not even sure how to look up stats, lol, the ones on NRL.com seem very limited although I prob just don't know how to use it properly)

I'll happily eat a small slice of humble pie here - I thought he was a fringe first grader and questioned the recent contract extension.

Perhaps the stint at Blacktown has made him extra hungry. Whatever it was, something has clicked for him.

Go Toff.

Could be as simple as this: at 28 he's not a kid but yesterday was only his 57th game in NRL. Traditionally props take time to mature and Manly has invested patiently in his development. Might all be about to pay off in a big way, Go Toff!

It was shaving his head for charity. He has been great since then.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Lots of basic errors and poor discipline in his game at the moment, forward depth is tested at the moment but for me he needs to go back to Workers.
