Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Game Day

Before I watch the game back, can someone give me the executive summary as to how we won that because at the ground I was too busy getting my lid off.

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Game Day

Just back from the hill at Brookie.

You know it is a good night at the office when the shirts are off and Manly fans are so triggered they are chucking cans.


Hahaha what a beautiful night.

Enjoy.

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Game Day

I like that Papa and Tapine are being split up.

Also *On paper* Mooney, Ata and Papa is a lot of punch to bring off the bench.

Now watch us get rolled by the Manly pack lol

I live 5 mins from Brookie and it is pissing down here. Forecast suggests that it is not going to let up all day either.

Looking forward to getting rinsed both on the field and on the hill tonight.

Re: Raiders are on the right track

A loss where young Chevy copped a hammering but kept getting up and getting stuck ...

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Teams and Previews *Teams p1

We have one relative strength which is our forward pack. I say relative because not infrequently they leave their superiority on paper and don’t show up. But anyway, insofar as we have any area of strength, it is our forward pack. The only hooker who has proven to be able to get the forward pack rol...

Smelly will come in, we are lacking experience so it may come in handy. Woolford needs to come in. Its been 8 weeks of Levi. He is upholding his true form that he has displayed his whole career. Woolford isnt THE answer but he is definitely up a rung from the worst hooker in the comp. And I would s...

Re: Coaching issues

As I said the other week. In the 20 we scrap, fight, grind and bleed for every rare try we score. Meanwhile, even bad teams just stroll right through us with rudimentary attacking shapes. So our attack is more or less trash and our defence is more or less trash too. Sometimes against poorer teams we...

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day

Pretty wild how a coach can coached 500 games and just never bother being that fussed about learning how to coach a team to attack in the 20m zone.

It’s a pretty bloody essential part of the game but he just doesn’t seem fussed. It’s always like an afterthought.

Re: 2024 NRL Round 7: Teams and Game Day

Dogs do look improved and tbh so they should be. They have bought a substantial amount of rep talent over the past couple years in JAC, Crichton, Kikau, Burton, Mahoney etc and it was probably overdue they started climbing up the ladder.
