Other Games [Round 12, 2023]

[Rafferty]

Eels have it over the bunnies in the kicking game, line speed and defensive intensity. Bunnies can just turn it on though with their attack.

Moses gives the squeels the yardage advantage over most sides, he gets them off poor sets almost every time with his long kick.
I was looking at the minutes the ball was in play yesterday and South’s was one of the sides that stood out with regular low mins, it seems South’s control games really well (controlling the mins the balls in play, to suit their own game and micro manage their fitness) last night was interesting, ball was in play for 23 min first half and South’s were controlling the game and in the contest, Parra on the other hand prefer to play up tempo footy, even if it’s just solid defence and simple attack, as they are a very fit side, that has the ability to lift the tempo during games.
Ball was in play for 31.5 mins second half, big difference playing for 23 mins v 31 mins, (add the extra mins in the second half as well) the difference in match fitness stood out and Parra finished all over them.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Eels and Dragons, both trying to remain relevant, both with their seasons on the line, came out with intent and won their games. Let's see what we dish up against the Raiders.

**** , that’s what we’ll get , absolute ****

Yeah, he played very well last night. But really, the Bunnies were starting to get on top of them until Ilias kicked out on the full and the Eels scored immediately after. Then he did it again! Huge mistakes that the Eels capitalised on.

We need to get on the right side of that equation: Mistakes bad; Capitalising on opposition mistakes good.

Touchies eyes ARE painted on

 

[ManEagle]

Ponga trying out for the Manly smartest tem of the decade

 

[Jerry1]

How's your tipping going... I should just tip the opposite of what I think. I'm running at 50% this week again..

 

[bob dylan]

I have been saying for 6 weeks Tigers are a decent team.

They might well be a fringe 8 side.

 

[bob dylan]

Love the Tigers jerseys.

 

[mickqld]

Can we possibly look any more sh*t now after watching the Tigers , Eels, Dragons efforts.

 

[Uk eagle]

Classic from James Hooper talking about Kyle Feldt. "He's the lone survivor from the 2015 grand final team along with Jake Granville" the man is thick as pig ****

 

[Rafferty]

How's your tipping going... I should just tip the opposite of what I think. I'm running at 50% this week again..

Then you’d still be running at 50% anyways…..

I hate saying this
But boy the tigers are a enjoyment to watch tonight they are all having a big dig and playing some very attractive footy
They will overtake us in the coming weeks
They are playing as a team.
Tonight and this round has really shown me how big a deep hole we are in.

 

[davohan123]

Can we possibly look any more sh*t now after watching the Tigers , Eels, Dragons efforts.

It's so depressing
All these sides have shown effort and and willingness to play for the jersey.

I just don't see that in us and watch us turn up again like we have the past few weeks.

 

[2830 Eagle]

In about 2 or 3 weeks all we'll be worried about is avoiding the spoon

 

[40 nil]

The Tigers are playing excellent football as a cohesive knit team - as are some other teams who are improving as the season progresses. When will Manly start playing as a team rather than as a ragtag rabble?

No one takes me seriously when I ve been saying Seibold and this mob will win our club it's first spoon. The writing's on the wall. Literally every other team playing with more purpose. We'll struggle to win many more games this season. It'll be us or the dragons (and yet the dragons would trounce us at the very moment)

I can't honestly answer that 40, but hopefully tomorrow

 

[40 nil]

I can't honestly answer that 40, but hopefully tomorrow

Let's hope so. Ideally, a hard fought win with big contributions from Schuster & Turbo

 

[Uk eagle]

Wow. How good are the Tigers looking? We definitely dodged a bullet when we played them

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

So next time somebody asks anyone to name a player who got significantly better once they left Manly, I will answer, "Api Koroisau" and drop the mic. Should change his name to John Wesley Hardin, because he is killing Cowboys out there.
