Game Day: Manly v Broncos [Round 10, 2018]

[Nice Beaver]

Jake going brilliantly. You can feel that he and Tom are in a mood.

Really, really impressed with Suli. He strikes me as a straight out footballer. When he sheds another 5kg - look out!

 

[ManWar]

Entertaining game. I tell you what though if we get decent possession in 2nd half and we STOP these ridiculous handling errors we will smash the Drongos.

 

[47MVEagle]

Noticed that last week as well. After every dropped ball he was straight back into running it and didn't drop his head. To me its a sign that he is maturing as a player.

Yep, instead of spitting the dummy & going missing for a set he's backing up & cleaning up after his mistakes.

It's good to see.

 

[MissKate]

I am not counting my chickens but the boys will go beserk if they can pull this off.

Not another trip to the strip club

 

[Ranga]

Yep, definitely having a dig and leading at half time with Marty being quiet in attack says a lot. Anyone else notice DCE gettIng overruled on last tackle plays? First API prioritised Walker then Turbo (which led to a try) - great to see others taking responsibility for last tackle plays.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Just got to keep running hard with that energy. When we try to go wide to early, breaks down. When we play direct with off loads creating havoc.

 

[Ned]

well at least tom got his 3 errors out of the way in the first 20 minutes

Don't worry, Walker picked up his slack!!

Yep, and walker handling well

 

[Peter C]

Suli is a bigger tank than jorge

And a lot faster

Suli has been a great find. Does not look out of place and Paseka has impressed me as well.

 

[manlyfan76]

Young Suli hasn’t looked out of place and Paseka running hard as well, very good signs from the young guys.

Agree the future is looking ok

 

[BOZO]

Eliminate our errors and we will win this . Its ours to win

 

[Fibro Eagle]

We are going ok cut out the drop balls we can win this
Go Manly

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Matty's been told he won't be here in 2019 so he's auditioning for Man U.

I like Matty Wright. Plenty of other backup players I'd consider showing the door ahead of him.

 

[KOMORI]

When we hold onto the ball we look like a side with huge potential.... the timing is still a little off but it’s getting there...

DCE is trying his heart out. He’s not playing beautifully, but he’s tryin hard. His kick chase work has been phenomenal.

 

[HoldenV8]

Eliminate the errors even just by half and we're a much better side than our results have shown.

We seem up for this.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Just hoping the ref doesn't screw us over with some bs penalties

 

[47MVEagle]

He's definetely woefully down on confidence.
Doesn't know when to run, when to pass. Jake's 2nd try was a perfect example, never should have passed, strolls in himself and scores.
Every time he runs the ball I'm fearing a cough up.

I think after dropping a simple pass he reverts to what he knows best - ball tucked under arm & run Forest run!

If it helps him regain confidence (& scores us tries) I'm all for it.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Eliminate the errors even just by half and we're a much better side than our results have shown.

We seem up for this.

Errors and dumb penalties. We get enough ball in the right area we have enough points to win this.

 

[47MVEagle]

Yep, and walker handling well

Walker's actually going alright at 5/8th this time around!
