Post-Game Discussion Manly v Raiders [Round 4, 2022]

[Snake]

Our halves were very good. Daly’s kicking game was obviously outstanding (particularly the grubber for the Haumole try when we couldn’t jag points with a ton of ball), but Foran’s ball playing was equally impressive.

Tom is so much more dangerous because Foz is willing to take it so deep into the line to commit defenders.

 

[Ryan]

Haven’t seen this one before. A good’n.Can we play at Mudgee more often. I could hardly spot a green jersey in the crowd.

Mudgee rocks

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

FANTASTIC second half

Not really, mistake riddled until we finally got on top

 

[Dee Why Eagle]

oh man, my stream cut out 45 seconds before the end.

did we win?

Sadly not

 

[Red Pill]

A good early season win with the potential for a lot more improvement as the season ramps up.

Kinda had their measure the whole time though. There were actually a few nonchalant and arrogant plays by us, and that's where we are at our best (i.e. Olakau'atu almost kicking for touch on a penalty).

 

[Jerry1]

Just shows when the forwards go forward the turtle can shine..

 

[Rackets]

J Aloiai - made a huge difference in the middle
DCE- Great kicking display
Tom- Back to his damaging best

These 3 made the difference tonight in my opinion.

Throw Harper in there too. I think he had a strong game and made amends for a poor game last week. Bounced back well.

Agree.... and we are certainly headed in the right direction.
Just wish Turbo would pace himself & not do the props work...
The need to pull their fingers out & that's why Alaoi was so welcome tonight

 

[Will on the hill]

Great win, building steadily. Remove 3 pressure releasing errors and 3 piggyback penalties we could've won by 50.

 

[The Royal Soup]

a great win

DCE was awesome

Koula has to start and be in the side for the rest of forever he is a gun!!!!!

Josh made a big difference in attack

IM FOAMING AFTER THAT WIN

CREAM DREAM BABY!!!

 

[sheridanstand78]

Tonight's win was a much better effort by the whole team.

Canberra are a very dangerous team with threats in Wighton and some of their pack is quality. They threw a lot at us especially in the first half and lots of offloads. To only concede 6 points was a really good effort!

DCE was poor last week and made up for it today by a fantastic performance. Kicking masterclass gaining us extra sets, setting up 2 tries from kicks and managing the game well. Really pleased to see this form.

Tom is clearly hampered by some niggling injuries and he was imposing and a big threat especially in the first half.

Josh Aloia did wonderfully well and added so much to our middle, good hard yards and also it helped inspire the others who did much better. Paseka had his best game of the year and Keppie did well.

We are still well below our best and we have so much improvement in us. We need to be more clinical with the ball as we did squander too many opportunities. We need to build our sets and create more pressure especially if we are to trouble the top teams.

The next game is a crucial one. We do not have a good record in Newcastle and they are going to be on the rebound and we have a 5 day turnaround.

Great to see young Koula get a chance and he handled it well. Also Morgan Harper was a lot better this week.

Good signs ahead!

Hey soupy buddy the academy awards were on last week.

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

We finally got the balance of the pack better. I said Aloiai would start and replace Bullemor in the 17. He was outstanding. I thought Koula for Harper... I was close. Still surprised with Koula replacing Parker but Harper was better today but still made errors which he cant in big games. Marty was much better. Davey is the rock we need. He was great again today. DCE was terrific with his kicking game and as he said after the game... he plays his best footy playing off the cuff and you cannot play off the cuff when your pack is going backwards. So when the pack goes backwards he is terrible. The pack was very good today but why why does the Big O and Keppie take the ball flat footed - arghhhh. Keppie still is the biggest dud in not closing off the inside gap... he gets beaten there week after week. Turbo fabulous as was Foran... again. Raiders were terrible in the second half and we should have lapped them. But a good win... still a huge amount of improvement in this side to come. Still need a fit Walker and the Schu playing somewhere.

Yep a parra special pussy slap.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Aloiai could not have made more of an impact on our pack. He was excellent, which is even more impressive considering it was his first game of the season. Koula was great as well, didn't look out of pale, took some tough hit-ups, setup the first try, really good on his feet.

We're still clunkier than I'd like in attack (don't care so much if we're not clunky at the business end of the season) but I always said everything would look better once we started to get better ruck speed and everything and everyone pretty much did. Nice to get a decent win against a decent side.
