Post-Game Discussion Cowboys V Manly [Round 11, 2025]

[Waz13]

I feel like I’m living in an alternate reality. We’re getting up for away games but not home games, and both Saab and Burbo were our best players in an 18 point win 🤯

Even in this strange world we are still 6th, I feel like it’s a position that sums this team up

Yep it’s the Bizarro world right now! Means a win next week v Eels!

 

[Waz13]

Saab breaking tackles and leaping like a flea, Burbo playing like a Burgess brother and we’re winning away games like it's a Contiki tour. 6th place really is the spiritual home of Manly. Not quite contending, not quite collapsing. Just eternally vibing in rugby league purgatory.

Next stop: winning at Brookie during a full moon while riding unicorns.

Next home game is v Broncos!

 

[1967 eagle croc]

Worst game I've seen from Turbo...
will be shocked if he makes origin...
out of form & injured - would only be baggage

None of the big guns are in form for SOO especially DCE. HE would have to flick Billy half a match payment for a start

[Tomay]

Burbos best game. Still not sold on him in any way but have to admit he defended well tonight.

Koula is pure class. Every touch was great. Our backs all played well except Turbo. Lehi was great with his hit ups out of trouble and incredibly smart with his decision making.

Good to see Haumole get back to what he does best.

Simpkin played well also. Jazzs service to start was diabolical. He did ok in the middle though. He will do on the bench.

Navale needs more time.

 

[Cochrane]

Maxta, This just sits within game day/post game thread!

Why do you start a thread for that simple comment? 🙂

 

[TJ55]

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

And so the season that is 2025 continues, it seems that just about any side can beat any side , except maybe the Knights who are absolute ****.

It’s a footy tipping nightmare of epic proportions.

Still alive, in ‘25.

 

[MissKate]

If we are talking about basics. Can the team be instructed to never do a short kickoff, we are crap at them, we never ever succeed at them. Just give it a break boys, it is way beyond your abilities

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

We’re really turning into the Cows bogey team. Love a good hoodoo.

 

[Wombat Junior]

@Brookie1973 turns out you're right, I'm going to have a great Sunday tomorrow

We are the Manly boys,
We had a win today,
We are the boys you know of
We showed them how to play,
No matter where we’ll be
Maroon and White you'll see,
Oh aren’t we a wonderful credit
To our locality,
So cheer boys cheer,
We are together,
Every now and then we have a win…..have a win
We will play them all around
At our home or any ground,
If they’ll always play a fair and honest game
So it’s GUZZLE GUZZLE GUZZLE
As we pour it down our muzzle,
And sing out the order loud and clear, 'MORE BEER',
And we will drink all night
Until we are very tired
In the shade of the Manly Leagues Club.

We’re really turning into the Cows bogey team. Love a good hoodoo.

Shame the Sharks have become our bogey team, after we owned them for so many years.

 

[Brookie1973]

@Brookie1973 turns out you're right, I'm going to have a great Sunday tomorrow

Funny how a win can change your outlook. Have a great day. Go Manly, best team in the world.

 

[bob dylan]

Whats doing with our bench????

Navale needs more than 6 minutes in 2 weeks.

If he isnt good enough dont sit him.

 

[ALinda]

What a gutsy win to help resurrect our season, and did it virtually without our top 3 highest paid players.

So sad to see Jake concussed again and hope he takes it easy and looks after himself in the next couple of weeks. Also sad to see Tom play his way out of Origin instead of in it (though good for us).

Navale only getting 6 minutes was strange, particularly having lost Jake earlier.

On the positive side, well done to the team after losing Jake, the heart & soul of the team, yet they still managed to get the win.

 

[Dingo]

It’s been really strange. It feels like they do not want to play Navale unless they absolutely have to, no idea why that is, he’s been good whenever he’s played. Giving a forward only 6 minutes after losing Jake early is insanity.

Got lucky it was fine this week but last week our bench cost us using only 3 men and giving a few of them not enough/too many minutes

If it was a blow out either way I’d expect he would have got a lot more minutes but majority of the game was on knifes edge. Better to have the experienced guys out there to get it done rather than a rookie. Next week if we put a decent performance against Parra I think he’ll play 20 mins +

 

[globaleagle]

woohoo!

Suck it losers - and I ain't talking about the cowboys!

If turbo was on debut, he would have been hooked. What a shocker. lol
