Game Day: Storm v Manly [Round 12, 2022]

[Nordburg]

Do I even bother


That's 4 or 5 miss play the balls the refs have missed.

We are in this but not being given again a fair go.

We look very slow in attack today.

Because they’ve had to make 30+ more tackles

 

[davohan123]

Oh as have been said already

Turbo would be killing the storm tonight of playing.

Melbourne's right looks so out of sorts.

 

[Budgie]

Why why why take so long to get Schuster out there? I know he mistimed that last run but surely we're a better team with his talent on the field than on the bench.

 

[bob dylan]

His mis-tackle there just cost us a try and broke open the game , but okay

He missed 10 tackles last week, and 12 the week before or.somethong, but okay haha

Missed 10 last week? Not according to NRL.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

How the hell didn’t the referee see that the guy playing the ball facing the side line. It is bull****e.

Agree

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

They are having a good dig, not playing great but hanging tough which is what I want to see each week

Not sure how much more I can take watching though, Foran passes the ball on the line, it lands 1m behind the line, forward pass. Then we head down the other end of the field and are happy to give a try when the ball is played sideways

 

[HoldenV8]

Melbourne's right side defense looks pretty vulnerable.

If only Tom was playing, he would be having a good time of it.

Need Shuster to combine with Foran and keep attacking there.

Swap Harper and Koula and get Speedy Gonzales running off Foz.

We're nothing but a bumbling, fumbling leaderless joke coached by a dementia patient.

Won’t even get a mention at Monday’s dribble fest.

Adam Gee is an absolutely horrific ref. On par with Cummins and that’s saying a lot.

With that said Des deserves a lot of flack for picking Taufua. I know he scored a try (which anyone here could have scored) but we all knew his weaknesses and Melbourne have targeted those from the start. It’s a shame because we’re well in this game but once again being let down by certain players - no idea if Weekes is ready for FG or not, but would rather try him than the absolutely liability in Taufua.

 

[maxta]

Not terrible score considering 40%
What is terrible much of 40% is due to errors...
Need to keep attacking left and add a tad of depth, particularly near the try line to hit that ball at speed

 

[voicefromthehill]

Getting caned in penalties for whinging about last week

Said as much when Annesley called us out - he gave open slather to the refs.

Interesting to see the commentary still make reference to the obstruction on the first try, they spoke about consistency..... Consistency is overrated

 

[Waz13]

Half Time Stats
Penalties - Melbourne 4 Manly 2
Six Again - Melbourne 2 Manly 2

Can’t blame the ref tbh. We clean up our discipline we are in this.

 

[Simonmyers11]

He does most of the defence, hits hard and holds the ruck.

Without his defence we would leak a lot more.

But yeah ok, he needs to fix his defence lol.

this is totally correct

 

[Waz13]

Well, Schu needs to turn up first. He didn't look turned on at all for the short time he was on

He’s only been on about 3minutes

 

[eaglebuzz]

We killed ourselves by dropping the ball and giving away penalties but f$% me I wish the refs would stop letting the Storm get away with all their crap around the ruck.

Every other tackle the tackler rolls right into the position the dummy half needs to stand in to pick up the ball.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Still in it , Schuster needs to play the whole 2nd 1/2
Manly don’t get the best out of Koula needs to go to fullback where can roam and get space or even get him on the other side . Keep hearing can’t wait to see this kid in open space he doesn’t get the opportunity only when he creates something for himself
anyway need more possession no errors and can get ‘em
GO MANLY
PS.. nice try for Jorge but his time is up I’m afraid .
Jorge is one of my favourite not for skill but for him being Jorge hope he has a error free 2nd half and takes a few bombs that come his way
