GAME DAY - Manly v Raiders [Round 23, 2015] Toovey Farewell Tour

[XV-1]

Great hard fought win today.

Replace Sao with Lawrence. Hasson is better than Sao.

The squeels will be up for next week.

I've been saying it all yr so it's not a reaction to the forward pass he threw but Ballin has been well off the pace this yr.I know I should be celebrating a win but.....

Lol i edited that post afterwards.

Mateo had a great game again. Always something on when he gets the ball and set up the winning try. Can't understand why we wanted to offload him

 

[HappilyManly]

Errrrr

He almost screwed us with about 4 play the ball penalties - did Manly ever get given one?

Oh Ye of little faith

 

[The Wheel]

Can't wait to see Sticky in presser

 

[eagleron]

Every one of the last 4 games are the MIGOTY now, I don't think we can afford to even lose 1.

This weekend is no easy task, but if the Tigpies can do it so can we.

and by 2 as well, wish we had put on another 16-20 I could taste that eighth spot

 

[grassy]

Still need a converted try to win!!

How is that stiffy going Mark, I bet it's standing tall now mate.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Would of been good to win by more - but winning like that, coming from behind, scoring with a minute to go - now that's exciting! Neighbours must think im a lunatic yelling at the top of my voice!

Well, if Mark from Brisbane's raging stiffy gets anywhere near that fat lady she might start singing.

Rubbish! The referee had a huge impact on the game. They scored from an intercept, took out Stewart and scored a try. Would not have been close if refereed correctly.

We need to take a firm look at the statistics here as this game to me is a wake up call for our defensive structure and we need to tighten up for the road ahead. It should have never have come to this after 16 nil.[/QUOTE

The rainbow ref may have tried to ruin or day but we found the real rainbow and got our own pot of gold
Good win boys march on

 

[Prez]

wooohooo!! Great win and lucky to get away with that one. Thought the refereeing was terrible. Those shoulder charge calls were an utter joke, forans strip was fine etc... JSL special mention, really charged the ball up hard in the final quarter when we needed it! Great kid I'm a big fan. Go Manly!!

 

[eagleron]

Oh Ye of little faith

sincerest apologies I should have known better than to give up on them, so ashamed

 

[double hoops]

What a bloody game. That hit or miss style gives some heart attacks at time. Mateo amazing.

Yeah I hate to say it but today he was kinda like the Matt Ballin of earlier this season, especially in the second half when our forwards were getting rolled for a good deal of it.

HUUUUUUGGGGGEEEE

I tend to agree: but a huge part of this was losing Jake and determinedly biased refereeing.

It was the sort of win where we all but lost it but pulled it from the fire: this will be ENORMOUS for the team's self belief.

Best tag @Mark from Brisbane in a post referring to self belief!!
