Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2695094, member: 1847"] Gillett missed 5 or 6, Hunt about 7, Reed 3, Glenn 4. Hunt had zero attack in him tonight. Milford was lost for most of the game, Boyd was asleep and Reed can't turn on a dime to defend a fast and clever opposing centre. Gillett has been wasted by the way he isn't being used. What pisses me off is this ridiculous tactic in defence to hang around and wait. Against a fast and determined hard running opposition with support, the stand and wait strategy fails. Effective tackling is harder against someone running at you full on with support. It sucks. Line speed is everything. Line speed. Just like we showed v Roosters earlier this year. This game plan sucked and Manly exposed all our weaknesses with their targeted, slick and fast plays. Good coaching Toovey. The thing that bothered me most was the way our composure and mental strength wilted under a sustained onslaught. We are going to get a lot of that in the next 5 weeks. Hope we learn tonight's lessons. [/QUOTE]
