Post-Game Discussion Penrith V Manly [Round 14, 2024]

Agree, and people want to blame Brooks, Luai was clutching the collar area of Brooks's jersey, with Brooks unable to break free and defend the ensuing try.

He got suckered in and the result is the result. He could have disengaged and tried to make a tackle. Brooks was the main instigator there IMO

Isaah Yeo is a fantastic player, and rarely misses a game. Manly has attacking weapons but needs another elite level forward, either develop or poach one but we will need one more to go to the next level.
Looks like Koula still feeling his shoulder injury.
We need to start stringing some Ws together (obvious!)

The game is played in both a Physical and Psychological battle
and Brooks lost the Psycological battle against the Cunning Premiership Winning Cat Luai

Every picture tells a story ....
Brooks is Bewitched by Luai and loses the Psychological battle and the sight of the ball at play that led to a Panthers try

Good analysis of the construction of Tommy T’s four tries against the Premiers
