GAME DAY - Manly v Bulldogs [Round 1, 2016]

[Ralphie]

It would appear he will use 2 of them on Hooker, which should be an 80 minute position. That or he will sit one of them on the bench for most of the game.

I'm deeply concerned about the bench/prop rotation, 3 props for a full game is just not going to cut it against the biggest pack in the comp. Jake is going to have to play at least 60 if not 80 minutes. We need 160 minutes of props in the side and we have 3 props, that equates to over 53 minutes for each prop. That's crazy against the biggest pack in the comp.

Yeah Yeah I know Kapow can play prop, but that means a pretty significant position shuffle part way through the game.

Barrett has his first fail on selections for mine.

I think I can call it now. Barrett has failed with his first selections.

 

[The '47ers]

Damn, under the radar so early in the season!

 

[torana355]

Even the great players Lyon, Matai, DCE look average tonight.

Yeah you are right, the whole team just looks poor. Im not an expert but im hoping this is just a case of the team needing some more games together. Also don't forget to give the Dogs some credit, they have played very well.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Last years powderpuff pack don't look so bad after all do they?

Just listening to the Fox commentators saying the Dogs pack hasn't been under any pressure all night.

 

[sean1976]

Ok cherry why don't you try turning the ball inside one more time.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

10 points is all I ask for....so we are ahead of you know who

Nope 16th by Monday night !!

 

[Clay]

All this talk from Barret about DCE being the chief playmaker, I reckon walker has touched the ball more then him

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Why was Parcell left on the bench for 65 minutes ??

 

[lsz]

Bright side is at least I will not have to post many articles tomorrow....

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

Tom has delivered and will be better for this

 

[Loobs]

At least Lichaa is gornnnnnn

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Tom has thrown too many high passes tonight. Keep them down son

 

[HoldenV8]

If he's got that down......how on earth did Jorge manage that????

FINALLY

Note to Tommy. We know how good you are, but not everyone is as tall as you. Remember that Jorge is a shorty lol

 

[torana355]

Finally a try. Sloppy as it was.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

1993 - the last time we were held scoreless at Brookie and we only lost that game by 6.

Edit - we scored. Awesome

 

[Budgie]

Phew!

 

[Loobs]

HEYYAAAA ON THE BOARD

we have looked better. Finish with a wet sail and give some hope!!!

 

[Simonmyers11]

Some luck finally. Almost anonther drop. Dce looked better going to the line then

 

[HoldenV8]

And our record of not being kept to nil at Brookie since 1993 remains intact.

Damn, nice kick from Killer.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Taufua, TT and Matai must be leading the metres gained. Only ones having a dig. Jake probably up there as well. The rest of the forwards have been poor.
