Croker today has delivered

[maxta]

DCE is off....

This bloke lead the team better than I thought he could???

His defence was stupid....nullified many Canberra raids including that last set..

Great effort

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

May have just cemented his spot

 

[Briza]

Hit like a cement truck the last 10-15 mins, Great effort from the kid.

Some cancers can be a good thing I guess. =)

Well done to the young fella. He always had the makings of this, but needs to push on now to cement it.

 

[Harvies elbow]

Des sees Des in his playing style.
Probably with a bit more style.
I just hope he stays fit.
He deserves a go...

Not sure why he got bagged for missing two tackles early. Sirro copped dummy and let him to get to outside shoulder so was hard for the kid. Second one was no fault of his.

His form in Reggie’s has been good a thats how you get in first grsde.

Now the euphoria has abated the thought of the Australian halfback being out for an extended period setting in ...,

Croker and Elgey for a while so both have chance to impress. How unlucky can we get

What's with the Cancer?

Want to field that question @BOZO ?

 

[XV-1]

Des picked Croker over LG as they were opposing Weighton. Just about the best attacking 5/8th in the nrl. He would have scored 5 tries if LG was defending .

 

[The better Robbo]

Croker keeps his place next week. Hodko or Elgey in next week???

 

[globaleagle]

I was very happy for him (not just because good Lachlan = good Manly)

But just for everything he's come through, and just how happy he is when he scored a try (and two!)

 

[mave]

Come on, @BOZO is all heart. No need to turn on each other after today

Bozo is a big boy.

He can own his comments, just like the rest of us.

LG please.

 

[Technical Coach]

Elgey is playing too passively in attack and defence and in a game that was always going to be a grind against a side with size would of at best just made up the numbers, at worse been exposed.

You have to really compliment and applaud Des for changing it up, would have been very easy to have thought along the lines of "we lack ball playing attacking options do i keep playing Elgey on the chance he produces or at least offers an option" or because Elgey has been so passive do i replace him for someone playing with more hunger, defensively better and will enjoy the grind.(especially against his former club)

Coach got it right big time today.....

 

[joeboy]

Glad he had a good game, couldn’t have done any more today, but he still has a long way to go to be more than a stopgap. There was a few things he did that easily could’ve cost us, but the good fat outweighed the bad today

Happy for him

Want to field that question @BOZO ?

I will field any question any day of the week feathered friend as I always say it as I see it .

Before todays game I acknowledged the form team in the comp the raiders but still believed our team could win

I also said that under Des we have become a team of resilience and have proved it with big wins this year under strength and under adversity

I had predicted that our resilience will win us another game against the odds and we did it with grit once again with out our captain

Kappow was quoted on abc grandstand saying Des has lifted the team and improved every players game

Crocker today was another example of that improvement and congratulations to him as he had his best game of his career and I hope he continues to get better .

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

Walker back this week straight back to the number 6 for him .....oh shi7 sorry wrong coach lol
