Post-Game Discussion Tigers v Manly [Round 14, 2022]

[Kiwi Eagle]

Des for Dally M coach of year

60% of the squad are ****, worst in the NRL in plenty of areas apparently, but somehow has us sniffing around the 8

The bloke is a messiah, imagine what he could do if he wasn’t completely clueless about Rugby League 😉

In an ideal world, Foran at 5/8 Shuster to edge back rower for another year would have been more effective unless Shuster can develop into a more steady play making role moving forward.

I think schu will learn a lot from watching that game on tape. A couple of times he shouldn’t have passed, and at least once he should have passed. He didn’t go into his shell and was still running hard at the end.

Do we think he can develop into a "steady play making role"? I'm not so sure to be honest. I'm hoping so.

Everyone is banging on about how great the Chooks are going (their players being selected by blind Freddy) - guess what - we are in exactly the same position.

Hahahaha, who was the legend they picked up?

 

[eagleron]

Haumole = F#*%ing beast

I think he will pledge Tonga.

He's still eligible for origin though I think because of Tonga's minor nation status I think

Who are you and where is Ryan?
I think our draw is heaps better than Roosters and think we have a great shot of sneaking into the 8 which would be great given the injury toll we have carried this year!

 

[eagleron]

The captaincy sits very well with our Jakey. He seems to have a great rapport with the refs, players all love him, respect him and fight for him. Not dissing DCE here either. But we had shared cpataincy with Jason King and Jamie Lyon a few years back if I recall. I think that could really give us value now.

And a plus from it is that he's not being penalised as much probably because the responsibility has made him more conscious of his own actions, it's a win win

Shoey I agree but for someone to provoke the club and demand that he plays his preferred role and also force out Foz, he should be nailing these games and be a standout but he's not....yet. He needs to learn patience and respect the position and his time will come. He's just not ready, but I hope he proves me and others wrong next season and kills it.

Hear hear mate - suits him VERY well. His game has gone to another level imo.

I could almost see his thought process when he gave away that penalty.

"I know I'm offside, I'll let him pass."

~looks at the wests player so close and tackle-able~

"F*** it" - tackles him

Refs blows a penalty.

"Awww...C'mon ref"

lol

 

[hozza]

Certainly a game of 2 half’s. Came out in the second a different team. Glad to get the 2 points. Josh A and Ola were on fire. Go boys

 

[HoldenV8]

Noddy is also a Manly hater so it was even sweeter to have him remember his first NRL game as a coach was smashed by Manly....sucker 🤣

He did play for the Northern Eagles in 2001. Joined the "club" from Melbourne.

I didn't like him then either.

I reckon after watching the ref allowing both teams to have a Xmas dinner in every ruck, he figured he'd get away with being 2m off to the side of the mark.

 

[Kalvin]

Love Haumole!!
Side question: where's DCE? All the other injured players were there. He wasn't at the Members Day yesterday either. Is it a case of not standing on it?

I have a small suspicion he isn't injured... Slater said today he wasn't even aware of dce picking up an injury... maybe just giving him a loong long wknd?

Yes but Better to have schu play 6 one year too early as opposed to foz 3 years too long imo.

Maybe his wife is having quads?

No, but if you criticize poor performance, you have to step up and praise quality performance. Call it like you see it. These past two weeks have been outstanding.

How's this - want to know how many points on average have been scored against us? 8. Just 8.
Warriors are FAR from the bottom of the comp in points scored for (they are middle of the pack) - but we are deleting them defensively.

So far this season. 19 points match we have conceded.

That's what I was thinking. Thanks Kalvin
