The game was won in the middle and if we had turbo sniffing around the ruck when Paseka / Schuster / Keppie bent the line & offloaded we'd have scored a few more.
Our middle was phenomenal - an old manly grind win. Order in best performance for me:
1. Paseka -
Offensive stats: 119m 12 runs (swear he had more) w/ average play the ball speed of 3.96s, and 4 Offloads.
Defensive stats: 31 tackles at 97% efficiency.
Comment: Great innings. Think he broke the line like twice?
2. Aloiai:
Offensive stats: 160m 16 runs with an average play the ball speed of 3.40s (wow - impressive for 16 runs too).
Defensive stats: 34 tackles at 87% efficiency.
Comment: Kept us in the game whenever he was on and really allowed our halves to have serious time and space with the ball, great for momentum.
3. Jake:
Offensive: 15 runs at 121 metres, much more effective tonight. Average play the ball speed of 2.69s is unreal.
Defensive: about 50 tackles at 94% efficiency.
Comment: - again not his best with a few errors but still a huge workhorse and extremely quick play the balls - it gave us the momentum at the end of the match. he was crucial, just needs to execute more with a bit of luck, bleeds Manly.
Marty, Keppie were great, Marty with some impressive stats and aimed up. Toff good too - thought Keppie was more damaging per run however.
DCE over 600 kicking metres in the game - was great to see him have a great running and kicking game again and not overplay his hand too much.
