Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Game Day
Except that we have looked like that for the best part of two decades, not just this week or even this year. That is correct, but in the Game Day thread (and really, in the context of this season) it's mostly irrelevant. Is it though? Hi Zaius, I think you may have misinterpreted the point of my co...

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Game Day
Let's not get carried away. We didn't get the rub of the green from the ref, but Manly were ordinary. Nevertheless a great win away from home! Great win away from home against a bogey team, especially coming back from 20-0. But when you analyse the tries, they weren’t from great attack or systems a...

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Game Day
interesting alternate reality... if EW wins the challenge down 22-24, we probably kick for goal I said in a group chat at the time and almost everyone in it agreed... losing the challenge and being forced to play for the win was a blessing in disguise and our best chance to snatch a very unlikely w...

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Game Day
The Papalii take is ridiculous. Yep, he didn't even get on until it was 20-0! I thought it was obvious trolling. Yes it’s definitely not lack of heart it’s just he’s in the twilight of his career. Front rowers don’t play like they did early on in their careers late in their careers. Different role....

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Game Day
Levi, Starling, Hopoate, Guler and Whitehead.
Anyway...best part of that was we had 1/3 of the missed tackles we had last week.
Cotric looked good. Happy about that.

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Game Day
Funny what happens when you have a bogus 11-2 penalty count against us in the first half, and then 2-8 in our favour in the second.
Honestly, some of those ruck penalties in the first half were ridiculous.

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Game Day
There are a handful of players who are actively undermining this team. They need to go.

Whitehead, there's just no other options.

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day
While he is fast and scored 5 tries, I think he probably let in as many.

To that end, he is poor in contact - whether it be defensiv...

Schiller looks a bit bewildered in defence and in other circumstances would need to be looked closely at, but for the life of me I just can't see where tries are going to come from except through ad-hoc moments by individual players, and he's probably as good as anyone on that.

Perhaps, but a 0-40 scoreline also reflected a lackluster performance from a team that the vast majority of the forum would have been itching to see play at the start of the season.Green Machine wrote:What a lacklustre lineup. At least when we lose it’s good to see Chevy play.

The only surprising thing about that team is Hopoate coming in. Desperate times without Rapana.

I appreciate the commemorative elements of the pre-game, that's always a highlight of the event, but I don't get the jersey thing. It seems entirely unnecessary to me.

I also hope if the coach is deadset on dropping Schiller that Crotic gets another run rather than Hopoate, apparently Crotic had a good NSW Cup game. Cotric played centre, but he was clearly the most effective 3/4 in that game. He was on the ball, played directly and looked focussed. My eyes were p...

There were 3 players that really stood out to me in NSW Cup, Guler, Cotric and Woolford.

Waitere was also solid at fullback, disp...
