Game Day: Raiders v Manly [Round 12, 2023]

[hozza]

Coming home from work listening to the game in radio, sound like a different team. Tommy sounds like…. Tommy. Let’s go

 

[JakeyB789]

Wish I could be more confident that we’ll hold on and win but that was mostly a great half by us. His defensive effort for their try was abysmal but the difference Schuster makes is incredible and the impact he has on Tommy’s game is evident.

Keppie is just terrible and I hope he isn’t too involved in the 2nd half. Bring on Condon for him

 

[Waz13]

Guac fine? Foxing maybe??

 

[Simonmyers11]

looking forward to Paseka second stint, he always seems to spark something.

Hope Quac is ok, he has looked very damaging again today

 

[bob dylan]

Faith restored.

Schu is the future and we must embrace and nurture.

 

[Jerry1]

Can we keep this up for another 40 minutes ??

Usually have a better second half so I’m looking forward to Manly going on with this.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Guac fine? Foxing maybe??

don't know, looks like he did something ??

bloody hope not

 

[LeonardCohen]

Keppie wouldn’t be getting a run if not for the injuries and suspensions atm .

Agree. He was dropped earlier in the year. He has done nothing to suggest he should be a permanent fixture in the team.

 

[LeonardCohen]

2 stupid kicks by DCE; the 7 tackle set just before his chip and chase. Why not kick long for Saab and keep the ball down their end with a minute to go.
He never has these brain explosions for QLD, but always seems to find them for Manly

If we lose by two points, it'll be a real shame because Canberra should never had got possession in the type of field position that would allow for a shot at goal.

 

[Waz13]

If Guac is hurt, and Burbo as well, gee we are thin on the edges.

 

[NREagle]

Shows how much we need Jake, Tom, DCE and Schuster playing every match.

Keppie, he must be so frustrating to coach. He has so much potential but almost tries too hard and then along come the errors and poor decisions. He also needs to work on his tackling style as he gets his head in the wrong place too often.

Bad luck to Ben T as this was a real chance for him with Kelma out long term.

Hope Haumole is okay. Never like seeing it when players going down clutching their knee.

 

[47MVEagle]

Well it’s a different team compared to the last 4 games.

Loving the effort they’re showing.

Let’s keep it going.

 

[Will on the hill]

Schu looks trim and focused, Tom is running with intent and confidence, Koula is getting ball in space, middle not getting overwhelmed. Other than the first 10 minutes, this is all I could've hoped for.

 

[LeonardCohen]

Standard **** ****s let's them back in game. Keppie dropping ball and 6 again and Croker running on tackle 4 leaving not acting hooker for 5th tackle

Yeah that was a dumb play from Croker. If we are smart, we are making yards when we shift the ball to the edges. That should be the play in the second half. I'm talking early ball to the edges, for the purpose of yardage, not pressure passes at the line for the purpose of attacking.

 

[Tomay]

DCE has been amazing.

Good to see TT back.

Still need to defend our line. Shuey has no idea here - as good as he is with the ball.

second haaaalf

 

[Dan]

I'm still laughing at horsborough acting on turbos second try. Was all time

 

[HK_Eagle]

DCE steps back in to give himself space, and then... kicks it gently straight down the throat of the winger...

 

[Will on the hill]

I'm still laughing at horsborough acting on turbos second try. Was all time

Horsborough is gonna cry tonight.

 

[globaleagle]
