I wonder what they see is this Leo bloke. He's going to be 28 before he potentially makes it to first grade.

I'd still take Paps over a fair few other fullbacks but he's going to have to provide something as a runner next season* The big elephant in the room still is he's only contracted for one more season and his backup signed a 5 year extension this past February. Clock is ticking. *if he can get healthy.

I’m hoping some of the lazy plays from Blore is more about him still figuring things out as an 80 minute player who doesn’t play for the Tigers. But he’s been sneakily one of our weak links defensively all season.

Wind would've played a factor in the balls being allowed to bounce.

Key for Paps in the offseason will be trying to get some pace back. It's quite notable how often he's getting caught for fewer metres than what he was. His support play has still been fine but he hasn't had too many explosive runs.

He's in his own head and he's afraid of making mistakes. The irony is he's making more mistakes because he's lost confidence in himself. There was a moment in the second half where he should've caught a kick which would've led to an attacking opportunity and he just straight up dropped it cold. A pl...

That big Hughes run out of nothing was the play of the game for mine. Thought we were a totally different team after that and essentially gave them no chance at stealing the game. Sharks will rue their missed chances but thought we responded well after a pretty messy finish to the first half. Still ...

Putting Nelson back on with 7 to go is pretty risky

Eli is freaking incredible in the air

Loiero needed a rest 10 minutes ago. He shouldn’t play 80 ever and I’m not sure why Wishy couldn’t have come on then.

Desperately needed that Jahrome chaos run a few minutes back.

Decent offload from King.

The short kicks from our 1,6 and 7 were all bizarre and a sign of not really knowing what to do.

Some really weird catch and pass shifts to the left as well. No one running a decoy or trying to create anything. Paps and Munster’s chemistry looks nonexistent.

Blore's lack of effort stands out so much. Watch him not bother on that Sharks try.

I don't think about it much but man was that 21 prelim frustrating.

Their win today was extremely impressive given how physical Manly were in the opening 20 minutes. This was my takeaway too. Gets lost because it ended up being a blowout but Manly looked really up for it early on. They have their flaws but they are a pretty good footy side across the park. I don't ...

I'm sure the club would set me straight but I really don't know what the benefits are to sending players off to three different teams. Did brining in the Bears help us at all?
