How to beat Manly

[Blake]

The TAB has the Tigers at $6.25 for the win. Manly have some good current rep players, some experienced professionals, some highly regarded youngsters and some of their nobody's have really come good recently.

It is not impossible, but don't get your hopes up.

I would suggest sending out the reserve grade team to avoid injuries but for and against may be critical.

Hopefully we dont do a Donald Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon and claim we won after losing by 7 million

If we took Tom Trbojevic out ........

We need to turn their forwards, and get turbo to commit. Crazy as that sounds we need to hit and stick that first contact. Queensland showed the blueprint for smothering tedesco/turbo

Get them running into heavy traffic and monster them In first collision. Gotta turn him so I'm scared because that relies on brooks

Maybe sprinkle it with a few douhei bombs

Maybe Manly can miraculously find hundreds of thousands of points at the last minute after being dominated all game

Make their spine work hard in defence.
Crocker especially.
Keep the ball in play and play edge to edge to tire out their forwards.
Tom isn’t so much a threat in kick returns.
His actually a threat mid set. Manly either go to him through the middle or on an edge.
Have a player call out Tom’s whereabouts on every play so there is no surprises.

We don’t..

With Ashleigh Klien unfortunately it is a more than a possibilty

Ultimately, we need to be really on and hope they are quite off. If they get 50/50 of the ball they will win. If they get enough ball down our half, they will tear us to shreds with their sweeping play.

To do this, we really need to win the punch through the middle (More metres = quicker play the balls = more 6 agains = more possession = less time turbo has the ball). Unfortunately thats much easier than said. I am very worried about our defence on the line with Turbo swinging from side to side, particularly given the broncos right edge gave us a bath as it is last week.

It's weird but Manly are probably my second team now just love the way they play

 

[weststigers]

Can't remember there being many, if any, upsets this year. I think this game will go down the same way.

Schuster, J Turbo and T Turbo are the danger players in attack.

If you watch Manly, most tries feed through their hands.

The Manly backline sits deep and as others have said, limiting time on the ball with line speed is going to be important.

Once Manly get momentum, they are hard to stop. Looking at our last game against them, it wasn't necessarily that they cut us open at will. We simply missed a number of one on one tackles that led to tries...lazy defence.

Manly will score points against us no doubt, but their defence isn't the best in the comp either. We'll have our chances, but we need to limit theirs. Sadly, I don't think we'll have the answers.

We need to have a simple plan, get off the line and nail the middle, nail the first and second receivers. Find the grass with long kicks and chase like pig dogs. Build pressure and don’t let up for 80min.
