Roosters v Manly Matchday Thread

[fletch]

Manu is our long term right centre, just going to have to take the good with the bad while he matures in first grade.

[Game Fowl]

Cordner comes back, Maubs to centre, Manu to Wyong

Must be given serious consideration - defender wins games

[Johnny Tobin]

I feel for the kid.

He's dangerous in attack but the worst defensive centre I've seen at the Roosters.

Fergo last season was much worse.

[Bowzy]

Not happy with the end of that half, we probably should have scored at least another try and not let manly in again.

[Tommy Smith]

Manu is our long term right centre, just going to have to take the good with the bad while he matures in first grade.

No need to sacrifice our chances this year in the name of development.

Aubo is a much better option right now.

The storm next week will kill us down Manu's side

He's a winger, just doesn't have the football smarts for centre, another SKD.

[Bowzy]

Fergo last season was much worse.

Between Fergo and Manu that right edge defence is woeful.

[Johnny Tobin]

No need to sacrifice our chances this year in the name of development.

Aubo is a much better option right now.

That will mean no attack down that side.

[Tommy Smith]

44% possession. 6-2 pens against.

And up by 8.

[roosterchook]

We can't win this game with defensive errors like Manu's. We are a much better side but it's Brookvale and Manly have everything to play for. Still predicting a loss here. Manly seem to have the wood on us over the years. Hope I'm wrong .

[Tommy Smith]

That will mean no attack down that side.

It's worth the trade off.

The Storm will abuse Manu at centre.

[Easts75]

That will mean no attack down that side.

Can't agree.
I think you will find Maubs attacking stats would quite easily match Manu's. Not as flashy but creates plenty of opportunities running lines. It really is IMO a no brainer, Manu has to go

[roosterchook]

Proud of the boys. Manly have really stuck it to us and the refs too.

[Easts75]

Couldn't be more off the mark. Broncs, Storm and Sharks will kill us with their plays running at him. Why would you persevere this year when it is easily fixed and as a team we only improve IMO. Manu can finish the year at Wyong then come back hopefully better next year
