Been thinking that since round 1. Stewart is playing like a busted.

Was raining most of the day, and earlier on during the week, so Brookie was soggy

He was trying to avoid semi by going diagonally across field but that increases the distance to the try line which is why he got tackled by scott.
It was soggy for Beau Scott too

He's not playing under 20s now give the bloke a chance for gods sake. Yes he was caught but by a very good player Tom will get better with the experience of playing first grade.

Your point is only valid if they were both stepping onto the same piece of grass.
The NYC dug up the surface and the caretaker with the bucket only filled in a fraction of the divots.
Tommy slipped, it happens

Only tipsy on gamedays
Scott has 25 less metres to run and was near the middle. The angle he had suggested that he should be able to catch turbo.

Worst thing about this key moment was if Tommy scores....Manly are out to a dominant lead & possibly, it breaks their back.
Has anyone ever got the wobbles out in the open?
In a game where Tom had not broken into full stride , he took the ball with 80 odd metres to run.
He had Semi chasing hard, just out of reach & enough to make him angle left.
This is the disappointing part, after finding his stride was still uncertain & peering over his right shoulder causing a stumble yet "still" burned off Radradra...if relaxed could have glided away in a straight direction for the try.....but instead continued to drift left on an arc into the arms of a determined Beau Scott who chased brilliantly, but ran 45m to Toms 60m....
In a 100m sprint Tom beats Radradra by 10m as shown later when he ran him down easily after copping a don't argue, with Scott 20m further back again.

Scott had to run further ... awesome (& surprising) from Scott and disappointing from TT ... TTs worst game that I have seen & I think I've seen them all ... maybe their grandfather's passing took its toll on them .... Jake toiled but not his best either ... imho

Truth hurts for an Eels fan but that was the reality of the situation....only difference for me is knowing those Slimes were on the ropes minus DCE, Parcell & Buhrer....comfortable win when it counts end of season so all is good.

Semi chasing made Tom veer to his left during his run and that allowed Scott to come from an angle to bring him down. It happens. Although if Tom had just pinned his ears back and gone for it (like against Brisbane last year) he might well have scored. Remember the Nines in 2015? Tom made Semi look slow and easily outran him over a 60 metre run.
Also, remember that less than 5 minutes later after Semi palmed him off and got a flying start, Tom ran him down within 20 metres.
It will remain one of those 'what if?' moments.

He cant be judged on 1 quiet game , actually i dont think he played that bad . Well i certainly didnt wake up this morning and think " f... tommy had a shocker . I was more pissed at the way leary had a brain explosion and swung the game their way or our last tackle options , poor . When tommy has a blinder in the coming weeks anyone who thought he was ordinary last night will soon forget it .

Lyon has been far from his "best" this year, and last night was again inconsistent and disappointing from him
