"Yup. Oppositions seem to accept the Eels will be camped on their line for the first 15 minutes. They hold us out. Close at half time, then go wide early the second half and blow us away.
if we can jag a few early tries we are in for a shot.... "

"What I'm saying is it won't be effort but a lack of talent. Manly have so much speed out wide compared to the Eels. Not to mention Olakau'atu will use Sanders as a speed bump. Eels might score 2-3 tries but won't be able to contain Manly out wide. "

First semi in 8 years - we play hard, we play to win, we pick our best side and we play to win. Anything else is just bullshit defeatist spin.
Frank I'm struggling to understand this mentality. We have members wanting to miss the top 4 so we don't play the storm. WTF, agreed, play to win the GF, 17 men against 17 men, I want to see a premiership.
Thing is there are some packs in the comp that I feel we have to play smarter against and team s like Melbourne,Canberra
Nth Queensland Cronulla Roosters who we can't beat up.To me against these we need to keep the ball moving and move the bigger packs around and try and play faster and run them off there feet.
We should employ a little more 2nd phase play. Don't go stupid with dumb offloads but every time an opportunity comes along to release the ball then release it. Best way to fatigue their forwards which will blunt Smith and co's influence on the game.
Biggest thing I'll be looking for is Ma'u and Moeroa punching holes on the edge and when our fowards go to the line they go in numbers.Once we get momentum I look for the halves to up the tempo to keep the Storm defensive line off balance.
If we'd go out the back bring it hard left and drop Semi back under to find the lazy defender on the inside.
