Round 13: Sydney Roosters Vs Manly Discussion thread

[supermario]

A poor pass by sa helps the manly defence stop Tui scoring in the corner, on the back of that manly regain the ball run it up the field and score off a forward pass

Roosters 8 - 12 Manly

[elo]

Manly walk through, no one wants to make a tackle again......soft.

[supermario]

Positional changes

Tuigamala off
Tansey off and goes to FB
Perret to wing

[supermario]

Anasta and pearces kicking games tonight have been great, we have been so close to about 3 40/20's

But matai makes a break almost scores, a fantastic effort by pearce to hold up matai, we hild them out on the 5th !

[elo]

Williams got that offload away to Matai with 3 guys wrapped around him.....does ANYONE wrap the ball up in this mob!? So frustrating how dumb we are, especially with Manly really not being that scary a side with Stewart gone.

[elo]

Prediction: Easts don't score a try in the second half.......or not till it's over.

[supermario]

Well thats the half................and you know what.................we are giving manly a massive run for their money !!!

Our attack is controlled, we are completing our sets and our kicking game is really putting manly on the back foot.

Manly are chancing their hand alot (see manly 2nd try and Matai break) going for the hail mary play deep in their own half.

Apart from the First dropped bomb from Tui, manly have not broken our line when they have been in our 20.

The players are playing composed, we only have given away 3 penalties, no silly stuff, they actually look like they want to play as a team !

There has been some good support play as well which is what we have been missing.

The only thing stopping us from winning this is ourselves !!!

We need to play the same way for the next 40 min, play compsed and clean football, mount the pressure with the continued strong kicking game and we willwin this !

Surprise, surprise. WoManly are winning the penalties.

I would like to know if the Roosters have been introduced to the concept of second-phase play?
Another stupid penalty given away by the Roosters (SKD).
And another. that effwit ref tedro lyons hates the Roosters.

[supermario]

Sam perrett comes in on Matai and jars the ball loose !

We need to keep composed, silly penalties are not needed, it is 5 - 1 to manly now

[supermario]

And that **** knuckle Tedro lyons penalises us for a strip when it was PERFECTLY LEGAL !!!!!!!

[supermario]

Manly go in, going up to the video

[TheLoneRooster]

I would like to know why every team that plays the Roosters concede so few penalties?
And that was another dud call against the Roosters for a strip that wasn't against FPN.

[supermario]

Try is good

Kick missed

Roosters 8 - Manly 16
