Message: [QUOTE="Steve, post: 2427909, member: 1799"] Yeah mate good post. As much as it pains me to say it Manly are always there abouts and never really out of the contest. Have to give them credit - if you can go 95 metres in the final minute to win the game away from home you deserve the win. Glenn Stewart had a mighty game tonight - he was in everything. I'm not really too sure how I feel about tonight's game. We looked dangerous in attack but three of our five tries were from kicks although our two other tries were full of quality. With regards to our defence both of our edges had a number of bad reads and were found out badly, especially the left side. Tonight we just defended to far deep and our lack of defensive aggression was obvious compared to previous weeks. The same thing happened in round 26 last season when Manly got two or three quick tries early in the second half - from memory I think they were all down our left side too. Even if results don't go our way I think we'll still retain second spot going into the rep period. If we had been offered that at the start of the season we all would have grabbed it with both hands. A couple of other points: - Parker will obviously be doing some soul searching and needs some intensive goal kicking practice. It's clear he needs more work with Halligan. Despite what some people have said on here Parker's been a reliable goal kicker in recent years (think he averages around 70%) and he shouldn't lose the kicking duties just because of tonight's shocker. - Corey Norman dummies far too often. Less is more - they're starting to expect it mate! [/QUOTE]
