RD 21 Storm vs Manly

[blazza18]

Look how often Tom Turbo runs in front of Olam every time they pass to Harper. It’s sneaky and a classic Des tactic.

[yourhero]

Obviously for us, our tactic is to turn our centres in as Tom heads towards them. Put the extra man on him. Make him pass and back our cover defence to get there.

[blazza18]

How bout Hynes not even attempting to stop that try.

I know dean got a hat trick but his defence is awful, 2 tries concede in the exact same way. Over committing to the centre and leaving Garrick to score. Seriously he’s done it so many times.

[riders of the storm]

Jesse Bromwich made some dreadful errors.

Loved what I saw from the guys after Manly scored their second try. Plenty of enthusiasm.

Grant brilliant. Hughes excellent. Finucane colossal.

Not sure about the selection of that bench tonight. Probably a bit light to take on that Manly pack.

But I’ll take that win without Kamikamikamica and Asofa-Solomona any day.

[Bartos]

That's why you always take the opposition left side winger for anytime try scorer. Seriously it's free money

This has been very disappointing and it comes down to communication between the inside men, particularly the centre, and the winger. (Something like, "I've got such and such, stay out") Each time our cover was there and all Dean needed to do was to stay out. Having said that he did get DCE? and shut the play down once in the second half.

AND

Is it at all possible for Jesse to take every carry with the same effort and purpose he showed when he thought he was going to score? (And dropped the ball) Hmmm

[Bullucked]

Finucane does and Welch can but do we have any other forwards who can make thumping hit ups?

Was very hard to see why we got so many six agains but when we get so many early I dread it if we're not heaps in front as the inevitable even up always occurs. (And it occured very very late tonight)

[Insomniac]

Finucane does and Welch can but do we have any other forwards who can make thumping hit ups?

We've got a couple of additional handy forwards still to come back (NAS, Tui, Felise, Pene), so we did OK against a decent Manly pack all things considered.

[blazza18]

Think we gave them way too much respect with those early penalty shots. Manly should walk away with some hope. We weren’t “bad” we just missed a bit of ruthlessness.

Harry good and Paps was fine but the bench really missed Nelson and Tui.

The lack of effort from Hynes on one of their tries should see him crucified during the week. Can’t have that in our team. Just really poor by him.

Great win by the guys tonight. Loved it how Munny appeared to be injured and I was like oh no, then he scored that try and I was like phew!! I think they may have received an old fashioned spray from Bellyache at 1/2 time.

[Storm Spirit]

How bout Hynes not even attempting to stop that try.

Yep… a mate messaged me and said Nicho should be hooked for that poor effort alone..

[Mstorm1999]

Was a gutsy win. Honestly I think manly did really well to hang in there and keep coming at us considering we were on the right side of penalties and six agains the whole night which helped.

I think if you change that the other way around they probably win that.

In saying that we did have 3 key forwards missing so was a good effort up against a good manly pack.

I can't understand how it isn't penalised. On several occasions, there was a guy standing behind our markers so they couldn't move out easily and apply pressure too. Plus the classic rubbish on the head every time Jake Trbojevic tackles that never gets called because the media love him.

[six rings]

Our defence on the right side looks extremely sub standard. all the tries come there and it has been the same for the whole season.

They need to sure it up.
