How to beat Manly

Linespeed, linespeed, linespeed.

Don't give the halves any time to do anything. Get in their faces early and that should limit the impact of Tom.

100% correct but unfortunately line speed is something that we just can't do, let alone for 80 minutes.

If some how we managed to do it we will get penalized out of the game on suspicion of being off side because it is just something we are not known for.
 
Keep Manly on the back foot in both Attack and Defence ...line speed

And the most important ...show up for 80 minutes ....on both sides of the ball

Well apparently it isn't that easy for our players to understand...
 
I don't mean to be pessimistic after last week's improved effort, but if we get within 30 of Manly, I'll be surprised. The new rules suit their style of play to a tee and turbo is far and away the best player in the game.

To make matters worse, Ashley Klein is the ref. I still remember the game at Leichhardt when klein allowed Manly a few extra plays after the halftime siren. While it didn't affect the result, klein should've been dropped to reserves for the rest of the year. But of course the NRL never sanctioned him.

People are in an ok mood, as they usually are after a win. So there isn’t much wrist cutting so far, but it’s not going to be a good result.
 
When Tommy came back in that first game and what he has done since, this is not a game I pencilled in as a win, but as we know, in sport anything can happen.
 
Line speed in there face approach , get up on them early and hit hard , when we have the pill send it down field on the 3rd and 4 th in the first 20 minutes , turn them around as much as possible kicks must be to the sides , and we must be up there in numbers to keep them pinned in there 20/30 make them work and kick so they don’t start running attack at us
 
Manly have very close to their best 17 on the park this week. We will need our line speed to be speedy all game. Seriously if we can get within 30 we have done well. The new rules suit Manly probably better than any other team
 
Our best chance to lie about the result and post it all over the internet. Don't let the sheep who actually look at the scoreboard fool you.

How do we Shut down turbo & co

Ideas ?

Always found being vocal towards good players was important. They should hear their name coming from the defensive line all day - whenever they are anywhere near the ball. Simply hearing that somebody has you lined up does affect your mentally, well for most guys. Then the hard part is actually stopping them.

We could photoshop the scoreboard and use that as evidence to our mates. Few good ideas here.
