Post-Game Discussion Raiders v Manly [Round 12, 2023]

ch 9 chattin' with Jake

who is being nice

 

[Dion Johnson]

Paseka & Bullemor really stood tall

I don’t know what Bully has to do for a starting jumper, been a standout player this season, his first run today after coming on for Keppie was a beauty.

We looked like a different team tonight, let's see if we can build on it and go on a run!

I don't think he misses out on a starting gig because he is not valued as much as the starters...it's more that a player with his leg speed will benefit when the sting has gone out of the opposition defence and they tire a little around the ruck. When the defence is tighter (first 20), it's going to be harder for him to use his biggest asset.

well it is about 1.20am so time for bed.

Well done Manly!

woohoooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[NREagle]

Initial thoughts....

We are more settled (more so defensively but also our attack) when Jake plays.

Schu must play every week....he just needs to work on his defensive reads.

Great to see Saab with space to run!

Garrick works bloody hard. Doesn't look at his best but he keeps on taking those tough carries.

Tom is building nicely...

Samuela does not look out of place in first grade.

Love seeing Paseka wind up. More of that please!

How good is it when everything is not on DCE's shoulders to do!!

Still plenty to work on.

Go Manly!!!!

3pts - Schuster (3 Try Assists, 3 Line Break Assists)

2pts - Tom (9 Tackle Breaks, 0 Missed Tackles, 239 Running Metres)

1pts - Bullemor (Our Highest Impact Forward today)

Garrick and Paseka deserve points as well they were both great. Fainu was strong

Koula, Saab and Croker were also highly impressive. Parker had a strong game as well.

It didn’t look promising early 👀 but they turned in the type of performance, I was hoping they’d bring last week. It was shades of 2021 with lots of good team play. Obviously very happy for Tom. Hopefully he gets picked for NSW and rediscovers his true form. Well done boys, really proud of that team performance. Doesn’t it feel good to win again!!

 

[eagleron]

A great Manly win on the day I registered to Silvertails. Love it!

Welcome aboard 😀

No coincidence that our forwards play better when Aloiai is out. He should probably be the 'Condon' in the lineup; a prop that plays a 15 minute stint at the back end of a game, not a starting lock forward.

Nice result to wake up to on a sunny spring UK day 🙂

Yep 👍

I believe the most important play of the game was Jake T stopping Whitehead from scoring. It would have set a completely different tone for the second half with the Raiders only two points in arrears.

Just shows the guys who are out aren't up to 1st grade standard.

 

[grassy]

Looks like Tommy will be playing for NSW and also DCE for QLD. I hope we can hold out through Origin.

Jake is the one we miss most.

 

[Jerry1]

What a difference when Turbo has a go.
****s me that it’s the last game before origin selection and hell I’ll just turn it on.

 

[grassy]

Jake is the one we miss most.

I forgot about Jake. I need to be face slapped. It won’t happen again. I only forget once. (Hehe)

 

[Go manly]

DCE 40-20 was pivotal
2 tries and a half time lead
Go manly
What a win
