Shaun "Exit" Lane mega thread.

[HappilyManly]

Both need a dose of Matai (along with Frankie) - too timid for their size

 

[SoaringEagle]

Did you forget Lane missed a crucial tackle and got run over by hargraeves for a try.

So did paseka with the Liu try

 

[HoldenV8]

Lane also copped an elbow to the throat from Maria (only difference is that he didn't carry on like a little bitch like Josh Morris did). But even our own fans seem to overlook that.

That exact same move cost Sam Burgess a 2 week holiday. Double standards much?

Both have performed well in beaten teams. This year is a right off so we might as well invest in youth for the remainder of the season. Given the opportunity Wright , Funa and Sipley might also suprise. Ditch the safety first policy and invest in the future.

Let’s not forget the cannonball tackle on Walks either, the bunker had plenty of time to decide whether it was a reportable offence, but came to the conclusion there was nothing wrong with it. Then, after the game was over, surprise surprise, the player is charged and will miss a week. I’m at the point where I only watch the games that I put a wager on because the officiating is so blatantly corrupt.

100% agree that the cannonball tackle was a penalty and ahould have been reported.

But he was charged and suspended for the tackle on Taupau.

No mention of the cannonball at all. Bulls*it, but true.

Joseph Manu has avoided a suspension with an early plea after being charged with dangerous contact over a tackle on Manly's Dylan Walker that drew criticism from Sea Eagles coach Trent Barrett.

Spot on. We could have really used a penalty at that stage of the game and lo and behold, despite it being obvious to everybody that it was a dangerous tackle, we got nothing from the bunker.

Ah apologies.

I thought it was the same bkoke when he got up from the tackle and didn't read the charge sheet this week.

Cheers

As long as they don't resign Perret. To slow with no grunt.

Any word on the Paseka injury?

Hopefully not another serious knee injury

 

[BrendonStarr]

In the match report they mentioned his ankle. Hopefully its just a deep sprain 2-3 weeks.

"Paseka was powerful in his limited game time but came to grief in the second-half when he left the field with an injured ankle".

 

[Ryan]

Yep. Need him. With Taufua, Gosi and maybe Paseka returning soon, as well as Hodko coming, things are on the up.

So much so Suli may be going back to juniors

 

[nightster]

I thought Suli was good tonight

 

[Ryan]

I thought Suli was good tonight

He was, but who do you drop out of this?

01. Tom Trbojevic
02. Jorge Taufua
03. Brian Kelly
04. Dylan Walker
05. Akuila Uate
06. Trent Hodkinson
07. Daly Cherry-Evans

 

[47MVEagle]

Is Hodko definite?

 

[manly al]

I wouldn" t be changing a winning team , maybe Jorge for Matt Wright .

I agree - Walks is doing okay in the #6 Jersey, even if at times he's playing as a 3rd centre it gives Suli an opportunity that he seems to be grabbing with both hands.

 

[Midnight Rambler]

Lane has quite simply been a revelation this year. Realising his potential, finally. The boy can play.
