Game Day: Manly v LG Titans [Round 23, 2018]

[HK_Eagle]

Gee, we've butchered some chances... just a bit too casual and sloppy. Entertaining nevertheless, hope we kick on in the second

 

[HoldenV8]

Well that was soft

 

[HK_Eagle]

Lot of hogs in our side

Unfortunately, it seems the only way we score... a bit of individual effort/brilliance

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I wish Kelly would stop running backwards in defence!

 

[pjayz]

4 bombed tries. We need to finish off our opportunities in the second half.

 

[Cliffymagic]

Kelly keeps em in the game. Piss poor effort going for a try. Then piss poor defence. Not happy.

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

We hadn't had time to swap our offensive side off with our defensive side.

 

[mave]

We have left at least 4 tries out there tonight.
Hope that does not come back to bite us.

I'm quoting myself now....as Brimson goes over for a 12 point turnaround.
Fk me.

 

[Scorpio]

That was a little soft. We need to not let them back into this.

 

[The Who]

How pathetic! One minute before half time and our backs back off. So predictable.
This is not a Manly side.
OK with the ball. No guts in defence.

 

[NewwyEagle]

Winterstein has gone from bringing nothing to actually hurting us. He's bad. Shouldn't even be playing for Blacktown.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Overall a good first half performance. Turbon playing a blinder!

 

[NYEagle]

Kelly keeps em in the game. Piss poor effort going for a try. Then piss poor defence. Not happy.

Kelly better come good in the first half of next year.
He's not 19 any more and he's been a lightweight for two years. Yeah he's a good attacking player but not a great defender and he is too light to bust tackles.

So, despite all that dominance and entertaining moments, we let them have a sniff. They only had three periods in the attacking zone and walked through twice. Not a good indicator for our defence.

 

[Steve76]

4 bombed tries, had all the ball and still lacking in defence.just let them back in the game.
seriously still don't know how frank gets buggered after 1 hitup so lazy and slow.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

That’s the worrying thing - Manly should be up by 50, instead of just 12. The refs could start to even it up and some of our SAS* might be found wanting.

Let’s hope not!

[mave]

Nothing shts me more than seeing defensive lines slide when they are 10m out from their own line.

Under 14's know better.

We've bombed some chances and our defence - what little we've had to do of it - has been awful. If the Titans get more ball than we do in the second half, we could be in trouble.

 

[Class of 96]

Forwards were pretty impressive laying the attacking platform. Taupau, AFB, Thompson superb.

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

A positive of that Titan's try is that we don't carry confidence into the dressing room at half time, something that might be unfamiliar to our side this year.

 

[mave]

Thompson was superb, until he hogged the ball and bombed another try.

 

[highlandeagle]

Do we actually practice set attacking plays? Playing like we have been coached. POORLY.

 

[Highflier]

Not happy with that try ,that’s like a 12 point turn around
Anyway I hope they go on with this Manly, and crush these f@$ers!!!!

 

[Luke_m]

We should have wrapped this game up in the first half ! Too many bombed tries and the titans all they need is possession in front of our goal line and they can score quick and easy tries !
