It looked like we had no energy in the second half for attack. It's like we spent all of our energy with all our attacking movements in the first half that we actually gassed ourselves with the ball
Yeah it looked like we had no energy at all

Not sure if low energy, breeze against us, the heavy rain, middle rotation or the thought they had it in the bag either way it was a bad second half

We don't seem to know how to change gears, it's all or nothing. Need to be able to change tempo when required.

And again, our last tackle options when attacking are ****ing embarrassing. I've said this almost every week, was expecting some improvement by now.

I reckon we'd be bottom 2 or 3 for forced dropouts.

To be fair we were gassed and raining into a fair breeze. And we lacked some direction. Second half. Oh and the ref was a ****

We had all the momentum in the first half then a 15 minute break. Not sure we could be gassed? We were terrible from the get go in the second half.

Just listened to Fitz in the presser. He is happy so I am happy

1. Said he was worried pre game about our energy levels from the 5 day turn after the big game in Melbourne. He even said though we were scoring plenty of tries our effort levels in defence looked down.

2. Didn't underestimate how Manly are travelling (in particular DCE and Foran)

3. Kennedy is fine and will be ok next week.

I think it was won of those games he would be happy with the win regardless.

I detest Manly, but actually really liked their Anzac jerseys tonight. The black and maroon looked awesome. And was least I have ever hated them. Was a bit strange.

Great start. DCE trapped in goal from the kick off.


Woohoo
Talakai in the corner. Beast!
Nico misses the first conversion for the night. Hope it doesn’t hurt us….
Up 4-0 early.

Oh yeah.
Watching the Replay!
Sorry got a bit excited…
