Who impressed? And who didn't?

[The better Robbo]

My vote goes to Boyle and keppie. Were sensational coming off the bench.
Levi looked sharp and has a super crisp pass.
Walker needs to run more!
The main boys looked underdone after no trial games but we will be better for the run. Storm scored all 3 tries from kicks so not all bad.
EDIT: Not sure what impact croker offers off the bench.

 

[globaleagle]

your brother, providing Keppie doesn't have a case to answer and that knee lifter gets a few

If cherry evans wants to be our million dollar man woow he needs to play MUCH better than that !! He really let the team down today

 

[Disco]

Yeah I thought we were okay.

Today is a symptom of not playing a proper trial or two

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Was happy with everybody in the first half. The second half, not so much.

 

[winnyason]

Addin was terrible tbh.

 

[XV-1]

our defence was good today, especially line D.
If we can maintain that, we will have an excellent season.

Addin was terrible tbh.

Oops...

I gave him 2 points in the mvp thread!

The template for the season has been set, every team will kick in behind Jorge's wing and our defensive effort will just be redundant.

I have a feeling Hoppa Jnr may get a chance once he has proved his fitness.

Yeah mate really lazy in ruck defence imo.

 

[Luke_m]

Tafua love his hits but he is an easy target for teams to kick to !!! Surely we have other options

Hoppa is out til rd 8 and will need a few games under his belt so wont see him for a while. I like Funa, he's ready to go, has speed and is safe

Jorge yeah how long can it go on. Great fella clubman yeap but issue has not changed leaks tries.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Keppie. Was great
Levi was good but but will get better
jorge well I have man crush on Jorge so that is clouded
I think this team will make the 8 so who knows from there

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Jorge yeah how long can it go on. Great fella clubman yeap but issue has not changed leaks tries.

I know what your saying but Jorge does have positives , who would you bring in ??

 

[ShanghaiEagle]

Walker needs to run more!

I thought he did run more this game ... made a good go of it a few times. Last year he hardly every did, I suspect Des had a word to him about this.

 

[niccipops]

I though Levi did okay for his first run with us. All our big guns were slightly off, not just DCE. Tommy a little off the pace as expected after surgery. Jake solid but nothing brilliant. Walker played some weird options and did chook without a head running at least once.
Smith was the difference between the two teams.
Over to Des now.

We going have to wait til albert hopoate fit. He way too costly leaks alot of tries now

 

[maxta]

Keppie dropped his first hit up...but then led about 7-8 Huge hits that included turnovers.
1st half AFB was massive but dropped off due to match fitness.
Lets keep in perspective EVERY Storm try was off kicks and in general play Manly matched them and some....early days and think we will be right up there come the business end...

I agree and also to see if he handles 1st grade also which Jorge has shown he is a first grader . Jorge has negatives but I believe his has more positive’s than his negative’s
