The right half

We are only two games into the 2016 NRL season and Foran has only played one of those games but I can categorically say we got the right half from Manly.

DCE can't count to 5 and looks like a baby giraffe searching for his mother Foran. Without a world class half running the show he has nothing. This has been proven time and again both at Manly and playing for QLD and Australia.

Foran lifted our team, he has made every one of his halves partners look better, whether it be DCE at Manly, Johnson for NZ or Norman on Saturday night (even when running around busted).

Although there are definitely legitimate concerns around Foran's hammys, they are no where near as concerning as DCE's failings as a dominate half.

We got the right one.

  • DCE has a terrible halves partner though and we full know how that can affect a half (Kelly). Foran would look crap next to Walker too.
    • While true that his halves partner is letting him down and Norman is helping Foran look even better.

      Foran is still a much better player than DCE
    • F**k knows why they are not playing Lyon at 5/8.
  • To be fair tonight saw two teams that shouldn't go close to making the 8. Wests are too inexperienced and mainly an attacking team while Manly looked slow and lethargic. Their off season recruits remind me of a Parramatta off season recruitment drive from a few years ago which didn't go to plan.
    • Waiting to see the Tigers play a good team with strong defense and considering next week they have the Titans it's looking like round 4 vs Parra could be that test.

      However, based on the opening 2 weeks, The Tigers could cause a lot of problems for teams and depending on results might just sneak into the 8.

      Manly on the other hand and looking like wooden spoon contenders right now

    • oh, you mean the lussick sandow hoppa one? or the chris walker whatuira charlie webb One?

    • Don't forget Chris Hicks.
  • Both teams defence was garbage. You can stay back on your try line with Tedesco running at you full speed. The whole line has to move up together quickly. Jamie Liar disappeared at times when defending.
  • We actually got the left half from Manly.
  • Beau Scott > Martin Taupau too. How soft has big marty looked so far?
