100% Never forgotten 🐯❤️

He does seem to lumber into the defence when returning the footy & would probably be more effective if he sprinted. But he does consistently run over 200m & covers so much ground off the ball so maybe saving his energy? Still learning his trade but the effort is definitely there & that’s the...

Keep backing yourself Bula!

Gotta get our share of possession in the 2nd half. Cut out the errors & run hard!

This! They should’ve have 2-3 sent off throughout the game. Our boys were unlucky.

Agree re. Luiai, can’t stand his arrogance. You can add he’d play harder for Samoa too. That’s a whole new issue!

8 from 8 🐯💪

Same here. But he needs more early ball. As does Junior & our backrowers.

x2 We really need to play with some variety up the middle though, support play, change of angles, etc. And when the opportunity arises give our backs some early ball. 1-5 all have the ability to break tackles so give them a go.

Same. I was thinking of starting with Pole at lock, bring Matamua on after 20-25 mins & from their Pole joins the prop rotation. Simpkin, Twal, Matamua & Blore to make up our bench. Give the kids a go & see if they can make a difference.

I wonder if it’s time to give him a chance at lock in firsts. Maybe he can add that spark as a ball playing lock to help our attack click.

How did Matamua go?

He’s definitely a keeper. He adds so much excitement & gives us fans a reason to keep watching! I agree with the comment re. 7 Tigers in the frame on “that” tackle. I actually took a screenshot for proof! It’s that kind of team effort that will change our fortunes. Long May it continue!!

Would like to see Blore & Matamua given a chance over Joe O. & AJ. Joe seems to be injured or unfit, AJ brings loads of energy but still making some stupid plays. I think Matamua could help our attack click as a ball-playing lock. By all accounts Blore has been performing strong in KOE & can...

Agree. I would’ve liked us run the ball through the hands a bit more but with bodies in motion, changing angles & at pace etc. We just looked a little pedestrian at times but at least we were turning the ball over on their 10m line. Hopefully this builds our confidence further & we start to...

Talau to replace Naden if he is suspended & Blore back to the bench maybe?

He has been great all year & I think we’re starting to understand how to play along with him. Puts his body on the line for our club every week & really leads by example! Long May it continue 🐯💪

I met Alex at the member’s night a couple of weeks ago. He has definitively become a leader off the field at the very least & is a true gentleman. Great to see him hitting some strong form on the field & I hope it continues 🐯💪

Prob would’ve put Bula on the wing to start his career. If Talau is fit why not start him at centre for Toa & put Blore back on the bench? Would rather Simpkin on the bench for Laurie. With the mood Manly are in, the more forwards in the 17 the better. Go Tigers 🐯 💪

Too early to re-sign him?
