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+.

When comparing players, ability is only half the comparison. The other important part is the amount the players are being paid. When comparing the loss of a higher paid player with his replacement on less money, you must include the money saved…"
"Does anyone give any credibility to reports the Eels would "not be fazed" if Lomax left? Lomax made SOO and the Kangaroos (before withdrawing), is in the Top 20 metres per game and runs per game, is a first or second choice goal kicker, can play…"

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.
