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.

Much of our defence has been solid.

Some errors have been critical and the refereeing has been incredibly biased.

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.

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

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.

Waitere was also solid at fullback, disp...
