"Both need to be dropped after the bye, no more of this absolute rubbish."
I don't disagree with you. But who have we got to put in their place. Most of our cap is on the side line.

"Hughes having a stinker as well."
I am going to put it out there I think he is overrated.

Hughes best kick of the game and of course he gets his positioning wrong haha.

Our lack of a proper metre eater kills us on nights like tonight.

Eli Katoa a try scoring machine. Can't believe we are only 6 behind.

How we are going in at 12-6 I’ll never know, we deserve to be down by 30.

Sua has looked strong and is warming into the game, outside backs have been putrid.

Wishart is trying hard, Hughes has been crap but that was a nice deft kick to set up Katoa.

The forwards have really been manhandled, I like what I’ve seen from NAS and Loiero off the bench though they have turned the tide slightly.

Anyone against us bring Anderson into the centres and shifting Meaney to the wing at half time?

Eli got kneed in the back when he put the ball down and no one seemed to mention it?

It happens all the time and only gets mentioned if it's not a try, it's ridiculous, how about player welfare?

Hopefully, we can take the Klown out of the game in the 2nd half and Atkins doesn't get a chance to show us that he still is a blatant cheat. We are only 6 points down and hopefully can pull our fingers out and steamroll the Sea Wiggles in the 2nd half. My fingers, toes, and everything else are crossed!!

Notes from the first half;

The Blore offload to DCE killed our start, but we need to be better to come back from that.

Meaney is deadset sh*tting the bed out there. He has dished up;
- a shit pass to Warbrick, way behind him, causing an error
- a hospital pass to Hughes who got smashed
- kickoff out on the full. FMD
- missed tackle on Talau for a try.

Manly crowd booing incessantly for a penalty after Melbourne finally escape our half shits me to tears.

After 20 minutes I was thinking “don’t panic”, we are battling well. Stay patient. I don’t think we were as bad as some were saying.

We made it hard for ourselves with that sh*t pass from Tui and Welch drop… as well as that last tackle option that Harry took and Blore stuffed it. Need to get to the kick.

Brandy needs death.

Great tackle Warbrick to force an error and decent efforts to diffuse bombs. He isn’t going that bad IMO.

GREAT try on half time to save us from a horrific half. Hughes and Eli <chef’s kiss>. Manly would be filthy to only be 6 points up.

It’s so frustrating how little NAS gives us these days

Nathan Brown driving his forearm into Blore’s throat. Classic Brown move. No penalty.

Sua is such a gem.

Whoever was offside for that penalty when we just had Manly pinned needs to be hooked now.

Crowd penalty. Klein caves to them. Nobody was offside. Awesome
