Round 15: St George Illawarra v Manly

[jodragon40]

Surely if we hold the ball, be patient, and complete our sets we should come over the top of them in the 2nd half. Season defining 2nd half a football coming up.

 

[Eric]

• Despite that first Manly try, impressed with the Feagai's. They are running hard. Why has it taken until now to do that?
• Couchman's are so much better than BMM.
• Finau > CT.

 

[Chris M]

Kyle Flanno made a clean break. Wonders never cease.

 

[jodragon40]

Play possession football, don't miss one on one tackles use the breeze turn their forwards around play the game in their half and we win

 

[Eric]

Not looking good. Manly have clearly been the better team in the second half even with no one on the bench. God know what motivates Flanno to pick CT in front of Finau and BMM in front of Ryan Couchman. Too many head knocks?

 

[GCRV]

Feagai's look good with ball in hand. Just need to get it in hand much more.

There's not enough urgency. The game plan should be simple but we are missing too many 1 on 1 tackles

 

[Edward]

No utility on the bench costing us again.

Sloan has been disappointing

 

[RedV01]

How long has JDB been off?

 

[RedV01]

Sloan has been disappointing

Again. Is it almost time to drop him?

 

[RedV01]

Steve Roach is right. It's time for us to start taking some risks.

 

[Eric]

1 try given to them that was an obstruction 100% of the time if it was the Rorters and another taken from us.

 

[RedV01]

Sack Flanno!

 

[jodragon40]

Very poor, disorganised 2nd half

 

[GCRV]

No players stood out. Zac probably the best. Tuipulotu is in the team for what? Commentator said, "Sloan trying to get involved." He has to try harder.

He has been very poor today

Hunt has had a bludger of a game.

• BMM in the team ahead of Ryan Couchman is a farce.
• Is Sione Finau injured? Did I see the wrong game a couple of weeks ago was Penrith? I thought I saw Finau play quite well.
• Some nice touches for both Hunt and Kyle but they failed to take advantage of Manly's injury problems.
• Backs are still too slow. Which goes back to CT in rather than Finau.
• Sloan went missing for most of the game.
• Eisenhuth is apparently in for his tackling. I haven't looked at the stats but I notice he misses a few tackles and gets dragged along a few metres for others. He hardly stops them in their tracks as JDB does and Couchman's to an extent as well.
• Another Liddle game. He goes ok but he's not going to win you many games like good hookers do.

Liddle, Hunt and Flanno all had their moments but all 3 were bad. Slaon was bad and didn't have any moments.
