Saturday Night and the tally is: Manly flog West Tigers , Canterbury sneak home against the Storm. West Tigers had two backing up against one from Manly and Manly put 40 points on West Tigers. The Storm had four backing up and Canterbury had one. The Dogs won a tight game . If you saw Cameron Smith you would have seen how drawn he looked. Cronk lacked spark . Slater was ineffective. With about 4 minutes to go C Smith missed a goal that would have won the game for the Storm. He missed a kick that he would kick 8 out of ten. The evidence suggests ,so far, that players ought not to back up.The Eels were so terrible that you can`t use that result to claim that JH should have played.

Hi Robert, U seem to advise that Wests would have performed better against Manly if both Farah & Woods were stood down with DCE also standing down. I really don't agree with that one & I'm sure most Tiger fans were glad that both Farah & Woods were on the paddock and IMO DCE had a very good game for the beagles.
SOO didn't seem to adversely affect them.
Michael it could tell next week. A 2-day back up seems the easiest of the lot. The Cows won on a short back-up and we beat them the next week. I wanted Hayne to play but after the result, I am glad he did not.
They had 40 points put on them. Farah was a non event. Woods tried hard to no effect. I am sure Tiger fans were glad Farah and Woods were on the paddock particularly, at kick off when the scores were 0,0. I wonder if they were glad at full time? IMO DCE had an ordinary game by his standards. SOO did affect them.
If Hayne is carrying an unknown injury, (which I think he is) I'd understand, otherwise it's a bad call by BA considering our position on the ladder.
Sorry Bernie, right at the moment I'm not in the most positive frame of mind. I'm still ranting to myself, no ticker, no attitude, no character, no spirit, no leadership & poor selection decisions.
Tomorrow, back on the Unicorn Express with the rest of the Weird B&G Mob on our 2014 odyssey with only BA & Boy Wonder to pin our delusional hopes on.
