Trial Thread - Manly V Tigers

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Because he was absolute poo.

Agreed.. but he was solid poo! These other 2 are diarrhoea

100% both Siro and Suli are overcompensating for Weekes in defense which has opened up holes in the right side D. I'm less concerned about this because Daly has such good D.

exactly!

 

[jbay]

If shyster is our great white hope we are in trouble

 

[The Royal Soup]

Hmmm. I thought I had you on ignore. Will rectify that oversight immediately.

Yeah righto champ, the truth hurts

 

[HoldenV8]

Joke of a performance

pathetic, slow, sloppy, errors, what have they actually done all off-season?

they look the same as last year

Little early for the wrist slashing isn't it?

Ive been saying for a while now donny has had his day but in all fairness this is their 1st game..tigers 2nd and tigers pretty much playing full squad

ummm what’s going on here - this is a continuation of 2020.
I don’t care if it is a trial what is this rubbish?. Tiger scoring at will.
I don’t have a good feeling about the upcoming year, this is weak.

the longest time Manly have held onto the ball this half..

has been walking back to halfway for the re-start!

 

[dowdz]

Jesus! Really? Still can't hold the ball.as well lol

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

Agree weeks has been mostly ineffective in defence, that said id struggle to tackle Leilua

he is a big unit but he is targeting a young smaller man and just doing what he should... run over the top of him

I can see what you are saying and I doubt they would be doing the same with DCE because he's a known quantity as a defender. Weekes is seen as the weak link today so they're targeting him.

Look, we haven't done too bad today save the right side copping a pasting. But remember Cherry will be in for Weekes and Saab will also be there so it'll look a lot different come Rd.1.

Dummy half is now the main concern. I think Harper has been OK at fullback, but whether Des gives him the jumper or Funa remains to be seen.

yes - we are down on troops with so many rested as well

Not watching game, just reading comments but no surprise we still look lost in attack (similar to last season) as we still are missing Tom and still don't have a genuine hooker. I expect Manly to struggle until they can for once field a fit full strength side including Tom and hopefully Faniu. With those two still out think our attack will be disjointed. Our ruck defence also has not adapted since losing Api. Need to find a way to be more dominant in this area

I think we've got a good player in Davey. Good signing

It is a bit concerning. It looks and feels exactly like last year. Trial or not

 

[Luke_m]

Our winger Christian Tuipulotu isn’t first grade standard yet

 

[NYEagle]

No Cherry, No Fox, No Walker, No Trobjs out there ok I get it.

Davey will be a good signing for us.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Schuster —> Turbo = TRY

Always said the team is a 10 to 12 team, Same ****, different year. I'm going to struggle watching another year of this ****.

The Koombaya crew will still be seeing a top 8 team though.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Damn that was classy

 

[andyvb]

Schuster is trying to go for the big play every time, I think with DCE playing inside he will be ok
