Paseka Machine - Shu - signs of Champion

[maxta]

Paseka was a bloke I expected off the bench....big man who could make an impact
Lets look what he brings, breaks tackles for fun , offloads and best of all ...is a super defensive middle, smashing opponents and winning 95% of contacts.
The Shu - well this kid is obviously a star, looked likely in attack all night but most impressive- his defence knocking players into the turf all night
There 2 a Massive part of Manly going forward- well done boys ..,

I thought it went:

Paseka
Aloiai
Sipley
Taupau
Keppie

tonight, and honestly, thought they were all amazing.

Nice to see that post Ryan - the forwards were fantastic... all night

Aloiai again with 153 metres as the highest metres for us. Marty and Paseka also over 100 metres. If Aloiai gets a offload going he basically replaces AFB.

another season ending injury means our second row stocks are running low as JetSki suspected out for season.

He is a very very good prop - no doubt about that and I think can defend better than AFB because he can actually put shots on

 

[The better Robbo]

Pasrka is dangerous and has an awesome offload. Not sure why Taupau isn't using his offload aswell but our props have been great every game.
I thought Sipley's hard runs and quick play the balls helpedTaupauu. Taupau often followed Sipley's hit ups and it was a great combo off the bench.

Paseka and Aloiai were fantastic, layed the platform. And to be fair Marty was great off the bench, as was Siply.

Wow

Keppie’s defence was ****house but other than that our front row was fkn awesome. Benching Taupau for Aloiai was the best thing Des has done in 2 years and Paseka is seriously playing at an origin level. We’re not a great team but when it comes to the big fellas we’re doing alright

Marty takes very few tough hit ups these days, likes to take cheap metres off a quick ptb.

Fkn Block head did my head in again, after Shoe pulled off a great hit. Block head says something like once this kid learns to show more effort, and once he’s got 60+ games under his belt he could be a star. So you need to see 2 and a bit more years to see if the shoe playing out of position before you rate him?! Fkn idiot.
Seriously, how has Fox not punted him.

 

[manlyfan76]

Paseka was very good.
I thought Marty looked great tonight.

Sipley had lots of energy- post contact meters and quick play the balls too

 

[Dion Johnson]

Turbo around the middle following Tent and Guaca equals points.

He might be able to handle Shu's passes.

Super relieved for the boys. Those types of wins are so important. Came back twice to draw level and DCE was handed a match-winner, and he nailed it. Good on him!

Great work all, with super-important troops returning we can make a charge from here:
Titans at home (W)
Tigers away (W)
Panthers away (L) - lets be pragmatic here, a close loss would be super awesome
Warriors home (W) - we did it tonight, we can do it at home
Broncos "home" in Brisbane (W, we can get 'em) - they are scrutinised over every loss, start like we did with Warriors and we sow doubt and take them down
Eels away - if we get 4/5 as per above and have our guys back on deck, fk the Eels, we will get em, they aren't all that
Knights away (W) they are more injury-affected than us even, big opportunity to upset them at home
Bye - free pts

14 pts in 8 rounds is completely possible.

Let's hope the injury Gods shine on us and that we build on this evenings momentum. We can remain positive after tonight in my view.

Well done guys.

I actually think his metres are more effective than afb’s. AFB obviously has the offload and bends the line but often he’s ambling and the post contact metres are slow. Aloiai has a fair bit of urgency about his runs

He also said Siro showed great form earlier in the season. He played one game and we got towelled up by forty. Plus he doesn’t know the rules. Time to go to wherever they shipped off Gasnier.

Yep.

If he does, it’s gunna be an expressway down the middle.

 

[The Who]

I really think The Shoe should be playing 5/8 with Foran on the bench. But with yet another injury to a second rower -- even if Guacca comes back -- The Shoe looks to be stuck in the pack for the foreseeable future.
Parker showed me tonight that he could make it as a second rower. He is tough and wholehearted. He doesn't have the skill or the speed to play in the backline but he runs straight and tackles well. Select Tyfuna and Harpo as our centres, that way our wingers might see some ball.
