Strategy vs Manly - Bring in Tupou

[Rooster89]

Tupou has been terrorising manly for years.

I think the Wolfman still wakes up in the night with sweats shouting "Tupou Nooo".

We need to take all attacking kicks to Rueben Garricks edge until he cracks and keep Tupou contesting him in every kick.

Keep the ball away from Saab and Turbo.

Hold onto the ball.

Easier said than done but I have faith in the RWB.

Saab more likely to drop one than Garrick.

[Thirteen]

Don’t we always kick to Toops side? Especially now that we don’t have Joey to target on the right side. And Iku hasn’t got the best hands.

Did they ever find Wolfman?

[Thirteen]

Saab more likely to drop one than Garrick.

Agree. We need to put this wannabe under pressure.

[King Salvo]

Kick Both Sides as J Morris is a fair leaper for the ball and Ikuvalu has his moments as well.

Tonight is about set completions/ defence and discipline - all these must be A Grade as a team and as individuals

[The Skeez]

Ikuvalu to get a hat trick tonight

[Cockadoodledoo]

Run the attack at Morgan Harper, he is their weak link.

Make it five and it's a deal.

Just what he gets a hat trick in though, is what worries me.

[Big Dog]

Score a hat trick, or let in a hat trick?

[Johnny Tobin]

Ikuvalu to get a hat trick tonight

And let one too

Dce is their key. Pressure the shat out of him and give him no room.
forans shit.

Agree. We cant afford to give them anything.
We need to control this game. They can and will control it through DCE.
I can see a gritty finals match ahead. One of those games that doesn't open up until the last 15 minutes or so, a game that wipes both teams out the following week.
This means the game will be won and lost through the middle.
Both teams are evenly matched in the forwards. Its probably the halves that set us apart, they have the better halves.

[The Corner Post]

On second thought.
I think our best chance is to come out and put 2-3 quick tries on them, then play the numbers game.
To achieve this, I'd start with Walker at 7 and Lam at 9.

Dce is their key. Pressure the shat out of him and give him no room.
forans shit.

He was hopeless when we last played them - he's found form since then, but he's getting older and might be prone to late onset Pearcey syndrome.
