LIVE GAME Round 8 vs. Sea Eagles

[weststigers]

Winning most stats again, yet can’t ice our final plays. Wakeham/Brooks look like they are playing in slow motion.

 

[Speed2burn]

Manly have played terribly yet they are still winning comfortably. That’s where we are as a club atm

 

[earl]

He likes his chances on Harper

Every time Harper gets the ball, Brooks is on him.

Think the halves have been somewhat quiet.
Hopefully they get more ball in the second half.

I reckon Wakeham made a good pass and Staines was out of position and maybe missed one that was a good chance.

We need the whole team to turn up.

 

[SeanT]

To’a played his part, Staines did all the work.

Get you hate Brooks but his cut out ball onto To’a chest created the space.

We had 56% possession with alot on their line. Surely a player can do something right eventually.

 

[stevied]

He let the 2nf try in?

Both him and Wakeham do not draw the defence through direct running. Not good enough.

That is a big part of the problem. Because our halves don't run deep into the line, with the ball out in front, it means the defenders don't have to commit and can slide. making our runners easy pickings. We can see it. Why can't the coaches?

 

[earl]

But he didn’t set it up
To’a did

BS.

How about Brooks’s defence Olakau’atu lol

This was poor.

Let's hope we get a win when we all know we probably won't.

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

Brooks made a couple of good cover tackles and he looks reasonable running the ball but no line breaks yet
Stephano and Api our best so far

I would add Pole; we did not have post tackle meters eater since ...?

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

We had 56% possession with alot on their line. Surely a player can do something right eventually.

Surprised it didn’t take us to get to 70% before it happened. If our halves went to the vet they would be put down.

 

[Telltails]

Could have been worse. Interested to see how they come out in the 2nd

 

[Vicious]

And again 2nd try to Manly.
Mark a try assist to Brooks.
He decided to go tackle Dale Cherry when he was already covered,
And left a big gap for the try scorer to run straight through for the easiest try.

What about the fact his centre outside him decided to tackle no one ?
Why was our second rower on that side nowhere to be seen ?

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

Schuster looks like a more agile Mitchell 😉

 

[Moh]

I thought there wasn't anything worse than Brooks' 'bombs', but Wakeham's useless kicks are making my eyes bleed.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

And there it is…

 

[Tucker]

Left side allow a line break again….
Bula puts it down

 

[Tim Sheens]

To’a did all the work
Brooks passed it to To’a who was heavily marked .
Are you sure you’re Tim Sheens ?

Rubbish, utter rubbish.

 

[Tucker]

LMAO how bad is Woods?
Bludging plonker

 

[Moh]

These run arounds are seriously stupid. They're doing nothing.

 

[matchball]

Robbie influence showing.

 

[Tucker]

We are out enthusing them.
Should some passes stick or balls bounce favourably, we’ll win this.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

These run arounds are seriously stupid. They're doing nothing.

Agree. They practice the wrong things at training.
