Crafty old Des. Comes up with a plan specifically for playing Melbourne? Unbelievable! All these early shifts are making enormous yards on each set. But what about front loading efforts? What about the collision chasing? Amateurs.
Manly did not get even possession but it was their fault: dropped balls, other errors, and ill discipline (penalties, ruck infringements). Manly were not actually able to keep up with the Storm's speed of play and hence resorted to trying to slow things down and got pinged accordingly.
In the end, Manly has had the softest draw of any of the Top 8 teams. They have played Top 8 teams just 8 times, losing 7 and winning 1. Of course they beat the Eels but the Eels can't cut it against any top team so that means nothing. Manly can score points, they dig into the line and ask questions. But they scored once from an intercept and the score line was flattering
A great game of footy. Both teams prepared to throw the ball around to get themselves out of trouble. Just smart footy played by smart players. Manly will beat us by 24+.

Just look how both teams are chasing the collision
But are they front loading the efforts?

Des has never been given the kudos that he deserves. Wonderful coach.
The reffing has been quite shit. Everything going storm way as usual in the big games. Manly defence still not up to playing good teams.

Fuck Manly.
Woohoo.
Manly lost and the Roosters lost.
We are still in 4th.
BA is in hospital.
Has a kidney infection.... drank 76 bottles of water watching the game.
