Better team clearly won, but man do the Storm get away with a lot. I guess that's why all the articles come out this time of year about their wrestle - because they do it religiously.
I amount of times they were purposefully giving away a set restart on the first tackle was tough to watch. Really obvious ones like that really need to be penalised.

Storm are a phenomenal team, but Manly made them look better than they are. The Sea-Eagles were woeful tonight.

I think it helps with their form/confidence because they never have to put the brake on or adjust their style in order to avoid being harshly penalised.

Overrated rabble and a one man team. They're just making up the numbers.

We can definitely beat them. They lost the forward battle big time. Our forwards will pump theirs.*


*if we play them.

Don't forget the person who mentioned we should have a crack at Morgan Harper and bring him over!!!! Thankfully he resigned at Manly.

So true BB. None of us have won anything yet. I felt sorry for them actually (ok my Dad just rolled over in his grave and it's his birthday today, sorry Dad ). A lot of my friends from my old job are Manly fans as we had an office at Brookvale also and they all supported the Roosters for me during 2018/9 as they hate Melbourne, Canberra and Souths like any normal person, so I was happy to return the goodwill..unless they play us of course..

The Storm demonstrated to all what needs to be done regarding Turbo. Take his legs out, you would have noticed the defenders going low with the tackle on him.

storm made turbo look ordinary

So if the Chooks win today then we play Manly.
How many of the Manly backs would make the current Roosters backline?

DCE
Foran
Garrick
Parker
Tom

How many of the Manly forwards would make the current Roosters forward pack?

Taupau
J Trbojevic

So the Roosters will have a better forward pack but Manly will have a better backline.

[redwhiteblue]

I wouldn't swap any of ours for any of theirs. The Next Man Up campaign seems to be doing us in good stead. How can less experienced players become experienced otherwise?

[Blue Suede Schubert]

I won't lol@manly till after next weekends match.

I never said anything about swapping theirs with ours.
Its a thing that I do when I look at both teams & compare the 26 run on players I look at who IMO is more experienced & the better player in each position.
Im fully for the Next Man Up as well so young players get some experience.

[ccfc bondi]

Manly were overawed by the occasion and Melbourne tackled liked demons (not Melbourne Demons, obviously.....I kill me!....their little hugs aren't tackles). They will be better next time around, but we can still take them.

I'd take DCE and Turbo (centre or wing) only.

You can keep the rest. Jake T is a heneverwuz, and Marty T has lost a leg, shadow of his best.

[Mickie Lane]

Garrick, Parker????? Lol

Raaaay take your red white & blue glasses off.
Garrick has been the form winger in the NRL this year 21 tries & 110 goals.
Parker has also been in better form than either JMoz or Keighran & Parker doesnt get injured.
