Sipley - Impact

[master blaster]

Sipley getting 30 mins last two weeks, over 100m both games with great post contact numbers.
Defends better than expected too.

And we need to hang on to him long time

 

[master blaster]

Sip is now my favourite Manly Player. He has a great personality and is a character

 

[Remy]

Sipley has locked in his bench impact spot. Gets around 30 mins a game and still makes around 100 metres a game. And a huge damaging ball runner and his defence and match fitness just improving by game. If siro is a easy walk in to the 17, Toff simply cannot be dropped for him, it has to unfortunately be keppie.

 

[Kalvin]

This guy is quite underrated imo! Was awesome today and adds some much needed mongrel/aggression to the side! Good to see him not take a backward step against the sqeeals today!

 

[Freagle]

He’s a gun. Big, big human with the right attitude. Was at the game today, and he was massively gassed at times, especially defending when we had 12 on field. But he didn’t miss a beat - just kept turning up.

 

[The Who]

He was very unlucky to be penalised when he had that scuffle with that helmeted Doesn'tmatta player. Manly should have received that penalty, but I hope he learns that you don't muck around when your team has possession.

 

[eadie fan]

I don't know his minutes but they were huge compared to previous games. Good to know as Des only used two off the bench until the last 10 minutes. Marty looked gassed halfway through the 2nd half but Sipley was okay. Both were awesome, along with everyone else in the team

I agree!

the d-bag ref said something like

"tof gets penalised because all he had to do was play the ball and walk away"

errr... what about all the marker had to do was stand there as marker and not interfere with the guy playing the ball!!!!!! (the interfering is an illegal play too)

It's not some big bro v little bro family situation where the dad tells Tof not to respond to jerk-head Jr's taunts.

I like the fact that he didn't back down when confronted multiple times!

Someone tell Tof that next time, don't just undo the laces, you gotta tie them back up to the opposite foot!

how good was his shoelace pull a couple of weeks ago? we need characters like that in the game, and every club needs that infectious humour and positive vibes. beast of an impact player too (des used to love letting rose or guluvao reap havoc in short stints - sips has the potential to be that guy for us this time around)

just saw this post...laughed my arse off when I saw it live.classic

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Improving every game , going to be huge for us in the years to come

 

[MissKate]

That 1:1 strip was priceless. Also saw him interview bombing the T bros after the game. He def is a character

 

[Ben]

We need to re sign Toff ASAP. He is off contract at the end of the year and we need to lock him up long term. I would give him 3 years

100% we have a few off contract that I'd be signing asap. The better we play, the more they look good and their price goes up! Hurry up Des. Sipley should be the first signed up

Credit to you Robbo .. you've been backing Tof for 2 years ... I was not sold , wasn't negative, just not sold ... but your predictions are coming true ..

 

[jbb/james]

the big fella is lacking match fitness, not fitness. he will continue to improve the more time he gets on the field. Been around the squad for a while and you get the impression he is game ready , and has more experience mentally than his on field minutes suggest.

 

[manly al]

Started to show some serious improvement during the latter part of 2019 and received very little opportunity last season with Black Town 's limited season . Full credit to him and the coaching group for him going really well this season and even more improvement after the long lay off in 2020 .
