Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2537899, member: 1899"] Personally, I don't think the result should come into the MotM awards unless you were forced to split it. While I thought Friend and Moa both had good games, I thought DCE had the best performance and the most influence of any player. Are you referring to the shot on Brett Stewart off the scrum play? If so, definitely got to agree, it really rattled Snake and set the tempo for the Roosters during that set. The problem I have with dividing the playmakers down the left and right side of the field is that it really telegraphs the type of play that is about to occur. When Manly desperately needed to get back on the scoreboard, I think their predictible second man routines let them down and they needed to have Foran/DCE linking up more to try and isolate SKD who can be very wonky in defence. Mind you, it wasn't just the halves that needed to be moved around, they also could have done with having an edge runner targetting Maloney. Unfortunately for Manly, while Glenn Stewart has his talents, his fringe running isn't one of them. All easy to say in hindsight of course but I thought the game taught an important lesson about variation and altering your approach. [/QUOTE]
