That Chase!

[roosterchook]

Two things. They should have won the game for such an effort and our club has been in selling mode for some time now cashing in on premier players. Let's hope Manu and Mitchell are not next on their list to sell. Going by last year I wouldn't write our club off doing this sort of thing. We trian them into superstars then sell them to the highest bidder.

True, but he was spent for the remainder of the game after that try saver.

The guy is slim and a winger. One 50 m. chase shouldn't be a problem.

[ROC181]

Surely a first grader can recover quickly enough after a 100m sprint to not be spent for the remainder of the game.

It would have been nice to have seen a wide angle view of this chase.

Nine did show it after the game. He went infield around the 40m. mark to cover.

Yes Sterlo called it a "just in case" moment. One where you cover across to the other side of the field, "just in case". The wide angle clearly shows Manu's intent

They showed the wide angle shot in the wrap up after the game on ch9, Manu had already dropped back so was in a good position when French took the intercept.

Just wow, Manu's try saver on Bevan French is one of the best try saving cover tackles/pushes I have ever seen.

Firstly, how the hell was Manu even In a position to chase given he was the right winger? Did he just decide to cover in case?

Secondly, the video replay was awesome. Bevan French is cruising for his try when he sees Manu out of the corner of his eye and puts on the after burners. But Manu looks like a man possessed and goes even harder, putting in like his life depended on it. Freaking awesome.

I am loving Manu's two games so far. He needs to keep his spot over toupo or Fergo. His future looks far brighter. Reminds me of Roger reincarnated.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

In the semi final series in 1994 Matt Seers chased down Brett Mullins bringing him down millimetres from the line that was probably the best I have seen.

Mini chasing and pulling down Sean Rudder just short of the line in the 2002 final series wasn't too shabby either.

Noted Mickie, I remember that one on Mullos by Seers up there in my top 5.

Mini's one rates a mention. Wasn't that just before Fitzy's 90 plus metre try HH?

Also special mention for Luke Phillips effort in saving a try on halftime to stop a rampaging Francis Meli scoring. Was he defusing a kick chase in the 2002 GF?

But Albert's one is the best for me...taking Seers around the corner post stopping a try which would have taken Norths into the Grandfinal. Seers also had a 10m start about 40-50 metres from the line and was absolute lightening over 40m.

Correction it was the 60 min mark and Newcastle were up by 8. If my memory serves me correct there was not much in the game at the end.

Here is the Seers chase on Mullins...incredible!!!

Sure was PD, I just had to go back and look at it again on you tube a minute ago, fabulous stuff and the turning point of the match.

[TheLoneRooster]

Joseph's chase and subsequent try saving push was the highlight of the game for me so a big well done to him for the effort shown. Was also pleased by his team mates' reaction to the try saving effort.

Loved SKD's set up for Latrell's first try as well. Little bits of light in an otherwise dark hole the Roosters are in at the moment.

WTF,
This isn't super coach, the club doesn't get money for selling players.

[Frozen Chook]

This is true that's for sure ..but he had to come from the otherside of the field to do it so in my opinion it rates a special mention.

At the game and front on and I have to say one of the most inspired moments in chase defence I have seen. Absolutely take my hat off to this young man - pure determination and athleticism – magic moment

I was at the game and sitting in that corner. When French made that break i thought "oh well there goes 4 points" then all of a sudden i saw Manu coming across and i was like "holy moly, he's getting closer" than BAM! It was awesome, right in front of me. The only problem was.... after that he pretty much lost all energy and was slower than dial up internet. If he can work on his fitness and stamina he should develop into a real talent.
