Storm Vs Manly [Round 11, 2018] Team lists & Pre-Game Discussion

I'm going to dream of a win today and hope for the best .
Keeping it tight by Completing our sets is crucial.
Lately our quick play the ball has reaped us some excellent field position.
Still I'm sure Trent is well aware they are masters of slowing the ball down,
there dreaded 3 men tackling technique makes for a ugly game, I just hope the refs penalise the **** out of them.
If Trents plans work we should see our backs ( particularly Tom/Jake) have a field day.
The unknowns of course is how our other backs will be switched.
 
Storm usually start with a quite up tempo type of game so very important to stay with them and even try to out muscle them through the middle during this phase . Completion rate was so much better for Manly last week and if this can be replicated should again provide enough go forward and subsequent attacking opportunities . Shouldn "t really matter when Hodko is utilized from the bench [ if this is the intention ] but a big responsibility on the rest of the bench to put in . Some solid and effective defence , a reasonable kicking game and the Manly forwards laying a platform will go a long way to giving Manly a winning edge, Still feeling quite buoyant from last week"s excellent win over the Broncos and go into tonight"s match with a reasonable degree of optimism and hope .
 
Perrett needs to step up and just charge at the defence.

We need him to make an impact especially after losing Paseka.

Same goes for Winterstein. These two big boys should be running for 100m per game. Not 40-60.
 
I know Scam is the best athlete to ever grace the planet ... but I think Brandon Smith is potentially (if not heavily marked), a real danger in this game
 
Anyone going to the game ? Is the Elephant and Wheelbarrow pub the place to go before the kickoff ? It's typical cloudy and cold here today- don't expect Bris Vegas type weather . More like top of Everest come 7.30pm.
Yes as a local i do appreciate seeing the maroon and white around town. No Reches anywhere but not to worry.

Hope to catch a few of you later on and at the game.

By the way that tram stop corner Exhibition st and Flinders is gone i think so you got to go back a bit west down Flinders to get the tram down the hill

Go Manly
About to start my 2 hour drive into the city 🙂. Thinking of heading to theRainbow in Fitzroy for some Nomad's and Modus Operandi to get into the spirit of things.
 
Manly had the back in Storms 15-20 metres from line - 5 plays in a row storm were off side - no penalty.
Storm got the ball - Manly were penalised after 1st tackle
Then manly penalised close to our line 3 times in a row
 
Why did walks get binned absolute joke Api deserved to be binned but walks is a joke
 
If peranara let's us win this I'll post a video of Ryan eating a worm
 
Perinara: I want to check it for anything that might take it off them and if possible send someone to the sin bin
 
Hahaha listen to them complain you let go of the ball you lose possession
