Post-Game Discussion Tigers v Manly [Round 14, 2022]

[Budgie]

Love Haumole!!
Side question: where's DCE? All the other injured players were there. He wasn't at the Members Day yesterday either. Is it a case of not standing on it?

 

[robbiea]

Haumole = F#*%ing beast

So I miss the 2nd half and we smash them. Maybe I should not watch them at all. Well done Manly, obviously a much better 2nd half. Onwards and upwards boys. A confidence building win even though Wests aren't a top 8 team. Big test next week.

you and Mark could hang out fishing together as Manly never lose again!!!!

 

[Supreme Leader]

For the record - kudos to Naden who was obviously shattered and concerned for Jake.

BTW, 2 games straight our captain had an absolute blinder as well.

Yeah I agree, just sometimes with no intent things go wrong. He wasn't doing a mongrel play and he was concerned, even more Jake got straight up and patted the guys head saying he was alright. Even when interviewed Jake said the same thing and felt bad for the guy. Shows his character.

What do you reckon, Jake has really matured as a player and I really think last 2 weeks he has really led the team very well and by example. Maybe DCE should step back?

 

[robbiea]

That pissed me off. Jake is the glue that would hold NSW together.
Olakau'atu will be playing VERY soon in that NSW blues jersey.

Let's hope he pledges to Tonga haha

I think he will pledge Tonga.

 

[Budgie]

Hey @Budgewoi Eagle .. how's your house guest going?

Ha! He's gone. Tail between his legs. Don't think we'll have to do it again. First half wasn't fun as he threw them back but wasn't even worth his grumpiness by the end

 

[Forster eagle]

Good gutsy win. We won the grind and played smart after the send-off. Would have been a little closer 13 on 13 but that is a great character and confidence building win.

Gee that were poor late....the tigers. Should sack the coach.

16-4 at the time of send off and the Tigers didn’t look like scoring in the second half,not sure it was getting any closer

 

[pt73]

Ha ha ha Parker and Ennis both tipping the Tigers.

Manly haters.

And they agreed Jake will never play Origin again.

Then were kissing his a$$ in the post match interview.

Morons

 

[Ryan]

I think he will pledge Tonga.

More games for us = winningggg

Gee that were poor late....the tigers. Should sack the coach.

Most probably didn’t help having Farah next to him in the box.

 

[XV-1]

Please no-one diminish today's effort. At Campbelltown, they had a new coach, everything to play for - and we dominated them, without DCE, Lawton, Tommy Turbo, Paseka, Parker to name but a few.

Calling it here, we win at LEAST one of our next two at Brookie (in fact, I'm calling we win both games).

Have you been to Hillsong and been cleansed?

We beat a team today that should never have been in the game let alone only 2 points behind a half time.

A win is a win, so we move onto next week against a decent team.

 

[Will on the hill]

Much better discipline this week, especially in the second half. Great to see Harper and Saab finding some confidence again. If Freddy doesn't pick Ola over Sims he has rock in his head.

The captaincy sits very well with our Jakey. He seems to have a great rapport with the refs, players all love him, respect him and fight for him. Not dissing DCE here either. But we had shared cpataincy with Jason King and Jamie Lyon a few years back if I recall. I think that could really give us value now.

 

[Jerry1]

Still not sold on Shu as 5/8. This game was prime for him to showcase his skills and he didn’t deliver.

Yep

No, but if you criticize poor performance, you have to step up and praise quality performance. Call it like you see it. These past two weeks have been outstanding.

How's this - want to know how many points on average have been scored against us? 8. Just 8.
Warriors are FAR from the bottom of the comp in points scored for (they are middle of the pack) - but we are deleting them defensively.

 

[Simonmyers11]

In an ideal world, Foran at 5/8 Shuster to edge back rower for another year would have been more effective unless Shuster can develop into a more steady play making role moving forward.

Yep, have to agree. A few years back when we were all discussing Jake as possible captain, I was one against it... thought he was too emotional and petulant when things went against us. He has really impressed me and he does seem to have matured well without losing his passion.

 

[Rackets]

Noddy is also a Manly hater so it was even sweeter to have him remember his first NRL game as a coach was smashed by Manly....sucker

 

[HK_Eagle]

I have to say, really disappointed in Shu today. He has a long way to go if he wants to be a decent half.
