Game Day: Tigers v Manly [Round 8, 2023]

[eaglebuzz]

Woods has been poor today
And to replace Jake is just crazy.
We lost our way when Jake went off.

We lost our way before kickoff.

63% completion rate from us says it all we are just not respecting the ball.

The sky hasn't fallen in yet boys and girls. We have the capacity to improve significantly in the second half, and the Tigpies do not. That will be the difference in the end. Happy to win ugly at this stage. Go Manly.

If it gets drier and now Tigpies used their challenge and…… they have Luke Brooks so we should be sweet.

It’s just back to what we do , every single time.

We play a top side , look fantastic, win with a huge gutsy performance.

Then the next week

We play a side way below us , play like ****, loose and then think “ oops”,

It’s been like this , 2021 aside , for a decade.

Same EVERY ****ING TIME

Really frustrated at DCE kicking game today. We've had field position but what did we do with it?

 

[Eagles4Life]

Can I borrow the rose tinted glasses

Have mine @Jerry1 Stay positive mate.

 

[globaleagle]

lol

 

[davohan123]

Yes in saying all this so far
I would just be happy with the win take the 2 points and move on to next week.
It just one of those days.
Very nervous second half coming up.

Get Sammy Fainu in. At least he’ll be pumped to go hard. Aaron Woods, I mean seriously back to nsw cup now! Tom basically walking. Schu as well. And dce That might be the worst half of kicking from him I’ve ever seen! Well at least since the dragons game last year. Tigers are playing awfully as well. If they weren’t we’d be down. Horrible!

Schu looks like he gained 10kgs while injured. Obviously needs to be very careful with his body type.

We'd be up by 30 if we played with even half as much intent as last week. We have put together maybe 3 mins of actual footy all half

We had so much ball last week and it ended only 2 tries to 1 (and felt like storm only had like a set or two in our 20).

They are the tigers so im sure we could pile on the points. But the attack is lacking direction. We need to straighten things up so much more

 

[Will on the hill]

Can you believe that imbecile mick ennis on fox just said the difference is cherry evans with his good touches??? Is that idiot watching the same game??!!!

Three shocking kicks but has been integral to both our tries.

 

[Simonmyers11]

If DCE can fix his kicking game, get a few repeat sets, make the tigers run the ball out from their corners we should be able to control the game.

Don't give them any errors and penalties and we have more points in them then they do.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Oh well , we could come good !!

I hope so

 

[Chunkytuna]

With the exception of Jake and Ola'akautu, this has been an extremely disappointing half from literally everyone else. Our spine players look like they have never played a game of footy before. Everyone else asleep at the wheel. If this **** doesn't turn around, we will lose the un-losable. Really hard to watch

I’d add Sipley to this playing well. His runs have been damaging.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

It happens you go down to opposing teams standard but the difference is good teams raise above Hoping Manly raise above this 2 nd 1/2

 

[Jerry1]

There’s a lot of salary cap out there not earning their keep. I reckon a good rocket at half time and they should put 4 or 5 tries on the orange rabble.

It's fkn exhausting waiting for these lads to finally get it

They are the tigers so im sure we could pile on the points. But the attack is lacking direction. We need to straighten things up so much more

Especially when Paeska gets on for his second stint which always gets us on the front foot. Just need to follow his lead and run straight lines, especially in this wet weather

 

[Seagles68]

Well fox stats on the game have only 2 restarts for tigers so maybe it is a different game

Didn't they get 3 in a row before they scored? Sounds like Fox is back to giving out fake news. We should sue.
