Game Day: Raiders v Manly [Round 23, 2021]

[The Royal Soup]

We don't deserve anything else, every club knows all they have to do is shut Tom out and the win is theirs, we're sh!t

Yup exactly

 

[eagleron]

The talk will be even more interesting now.

There's nothing to say, this is what Hasler planned all week, enjoy it. If he thought he was going to spring an ambush he has succeeded except he's ambushed his own team, clearly they don't know what's going on

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I don’t understand the roots. Garrick is nit a first grade fullback and Fuba is not a first grade winger. I can’t believe the errors.

 

[Ryan]

We used to suck when Snake was out but this is just next level.

We are a one trick pony. One man team.

 

[Snake]

Pretty obvious that Jake and Marty are not worth $1.6+ million between them

Jake’s d is good but Taupau struggles against packs that get up in his face. He is great against the lesser rans but his entire career has seen him silenced against the aggressive packs.

 

[Ryan]

Canberra seem to be our bogey team. They always seem to beat us. 12 Down I don't think we can come back from this. I hope I'm wrong. Go Manly!!

Though that that was The Dragon's statistically

 

[davohan123]

F

I hate to say it but we really are a one man team.

See my thread but sadly yes.A sporting club should never be this reliant on one player turbo goes and so does us.we play like a inch like last week we would be winning by 20 now.

 

[Kevinward777]

Adam Gee.

We've had many great victories against the Raiders, it's really only this season where we seem lost against them

 

[Class of 96]

Faders looked pretty gassed at the end of that half. Play smart and hold possession and we can get back into this.

 

[Simonmyers11]

I feel if we can get one, another will come quickly. i think we will have more gas in the tank towards the end, raiders do fade a lot this year. Good start to the second half and right back in it

 

[Will on the hill]

Lmao. Moses was at least 5m too far infield, for whatever reason.

Made the tackle though Funa had to trust him.

 

[Nordburg]

Ok seriously, this shouldn't need to be explained.

If Moses is 15m infield, and the Raiders winger and centre have kept their width, it is in no way on Funa that he made a call to come in to make a tackle and leave his man unmarked.....it all happens a lot further infield than the winger in that situation.....possibly a lot further infield than Suli as well.

I think it’s as simple as two players that haven’t defended much with each other.Obviously a lack of combination meant Funa had no trust in Suli making that tackle so he unnecessarily came in

 

[Kalvin]

I'm sick of people saying we don't need to recruit a back up fullback... clearly evident!

 

[The Royal Soup]

We really need Lawton on!!!

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

Andrew Gee is playing for the Raiders. 14 v 13

 

[SeaEagle21]

I agree with the way we are playing and Canberra up 12pts it is a bit too far. 12 points only i know but if we scored on HT and narrowed that gap i would have been a bit more confident but that last set was diabolical and sums up our night.

 

[XV-1]

I'm sick of people saying we don't need to recruit a back up fullback... clearly evident!

We have one. Koula.

Des won't play him.

 

[HK_Eagle]

I missed the first 20 minutes, has Suli passed yet?

He short passed to the Raiders player to help them set up their first try

 

[The Eagle Has Landed]

We don't deserve anything else, every club knows all they have to do is shut Tom out and the win is theirs, we're sh!t

Easier said than done. A lot of teams have tried but failed miserably.
