If that was our best semi final effort I am disappointed, every time we mounted some pressure we seem f#ck up and let them off, forward passes, knock ons, crap kicks and no idea on how to finnish a set.
We have so much work to do, sorry for being a whinger but we won't win jack crap with that.

Defence, Mr. Dog. 2 trys allowed and keeping the premiers scoreless for an entire half gets me hard.

I agree with both of you here. Our defence was fantastic and great defence at this time of year wins you games. However, I was really concerned with how much ball we turned over. We failed to complete our set of six on each occasion after scoring, but this can easily be fixed by Des. We can now enjoy the week off and wait to see who we play next. woManly look ready to go out the back door!

We just won a semi with that so we can win jack.
However in all seriousness ur right in that we can improve immensely.
Barba should of taken on matai both those times one on one close to the line that rodent scum matai could not have stopped benny b.

An element of inexperience perhaps?

Yeah I think so, we will be better off for the game, it was their first taste of finals footy for alot of our boys. We will only get better!

Glad they got the finals nerves out of the system and still won such an important match against the defending premiers

Agree. I was a little surprised Barba did what he did. Then again it's always easy from the couch.

I have to agree - so much to be happy about and so much to be worried about BUT there is something special about this team-we will improve and we will be in the GF!

x 2, it was nice to win ugly on such an important game, like Des said after the game when asked what he thought was the best thing to come out of the match for his side....answer.........
"The next two weeks off"!!

Put it down to nerves. I can't remember the last time that many forward passes were called! We hung in there in defence though and got the win.

Rodents are much better than Matai and yes you are right Barba should have backed himself - he would have gone very close to scoring as the defence line was a bit jagged and was sort of retreating

We were never allowed to play footy. Manly wanted to scrap and it took it out of both teams. i'm happy with the game and i am sure des knows where to work on for next week.

The positives are we can defend close to our line set after set against the defending Premiers but could of won 22-0 if we didn't keep handing the ball over.

It was a scrappy match, no argument. But we wouldn't have won it if we were as bad as you say, either.

Manly were just as bad, we would of been beat if they were a disciplined lot, lucky they were grubs.

We didn't play anywhere near our best, the refs were the worst I have seen all season, yet we beat the reigning premiers when it mattered and kept them to only 10 points AND kept them scoreless for 50 mins.Imagine we played to our potential.Well done boys, 2 games to go
