TEAM LIST Round 9 vs. Panthers

Team List
No disrespect Steve but AJ's defence is pretty good. That situation he's been carved up for after last weeks game was a 5 on 3 which was always going to result in a Manly try. If AJ came in and took the second rower they'd be into him for leaving his centre unmarked or leaving Toupou with two on one. The first Manly try, AJ stopped the second rower after being wrong footed only for the ball to not be wrapped up and passed to support.
They had a two man overlap outside our winger from the set restart. DCE is the first on the park to notice tells them all what’s going on and then he takes control turns it into a 3 man overlap all outside of Topou. The whole team was way to far in it was just poor and it was the start of the set we should’ve had our line set as a team. And maybe if our 7 was smarter or our FB had more experience they could’ve helped but I reckon Kep doesn’t trust Brooks on his inside and Paps is coming across, now we have three that don’t stop the ball in the tackle and a 3 man overlap on the one defender left, the winger. They have a real 7.

Yep first Kep down low trying to get Olakuatu to ground not successfully then 2 more Tigers join in . No one tries to lock up the ball .Then he offloads ! Then you've a winger tupou facing a 3 man overlap and Bingo Manly score against the run of play . Got to admit the 2nd and 3rd in to the tackle should stop the offload just dumb
 
U better watch what u say that could to racism, because according to the little pedal at the raiders if u say f **** off now and ur a dog for leaving that racism, I wonder I a white player like woods left the tigers and we called him them things would that be racism, i doubt it , it would just fans eventing there frustrations ???????

You clearly missed the message where they referenced his race then. No player needs to put up with that shit.


EDIT: Just saw your following post where you said you missed it, carry on.
 
People are getting excited that Tago is out. To me he isnt a star and isn’t that big of a loss. Crichton and Peachey is a stronger centre combo than what we are offering.
For mine, them having Fischer-Harris and Martin missing is to our advantage. We can beat them through the middle.
 
Just re-watched last weeks game again and I think we were pretty good to be honest. I don't accept Manly were poor, I prefer to think we made them look bad. DCE may have been a bit off but other than that, we belted the biggest pack in the comp. With a bit of luck we had tries for Ice, Joffa and Bateman with only millimetres in it. We get those, we beat second place Manly by 12. I've got a feeling....
Yea i'm over certain people on here always saying every team we play are having a bad game. In every game except the Broncos our stats have been as good as or better than the other side. So does that mean every side we play is playing bad. We are playing good solid football from our tryline to 20 mtrs out of the opposition line. Our forwards have been on a par with every pack and have generally got us moving upfield. Yep there have been a few costly errors such as dropped balls that have hurt us but the biggest problem is our shocking lack of creative attack in the 20 mtr zone and terrible 5th play options that is letting us down. Obviously most of that falls on our halves. We just don't have the flair in the halves that the other sides have.

This is all pretty accurate. We are getting up field without too much hassle, or the need to make linebreaks. We are showing reasonable discipline whereby we win the penalty counts most weeks. We just do barely anything with our opportunities and that’s where it’s lost.

I’d add our defence is still puss though. We have the third worst defence and the two who are worse have played more games.
 
Nofo is one try away from reaching his 100th NRL career try.
He could achieve it if he puts his mind to it tomorrow night.
I wish him well but i honestly doubt we will get many if any chances to score.Having said that i hope he gets his 100th try with us at some stage this year as it really is a great achievement and one he deserves

That's all well and good, but what do we do when we're inside their 20? Our halves are completely bereft of ideas there.
 
I just received a message from a Sydney based supporter mate. He is hearing that Laurie is in for Wakeham. Anyone else hearing this through the jungle drums?
Funny u should say that a client told that this morning , he’s a ex Penrith official, so it might be true
