Game Day: Manly v Cowboys [Round 16, 2016]

[double hoops]

I gave Lussick 3 points last week. I think he is probably our best in that half as well. Defence and keeping his cool had always been his issue. But he is sure running hard, getting involved and having a real go. Respect for Darcy.

 

[Harvies elbow]

DCE , 11 1st half tackles. That's way too many for your playmaker to have to make if you expect to win. Or at least be in the game

 

[HappilyManly]

Manly gave no RHS defense with Killer in the middle. The Cows just keep running at Walker, knowing that Snake won't get across in cover

 

[XV-1]

Stewarts movement, or lack of movement to that last kick, then try was life he 80 years of age.

So slow - are the hammys so tight they are about to go ping?

 

[Nordburg]

Is Taupau playing?

 

[COMMANDER]

DCE said .... Manly are a quality footy side.... LMFAO

That's the problem, they still think they are good.

 

[hozza]

Wh

what do you want him to say???
We are a **** football team?
That would be great motivation ....

How about " it's just not good enough from all of us, we are professional players and need to step up". Something along those lines is a good start. Sometimes criticism from within is a great motivator.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Against this lot to be 18-4 at half time is probably a fair effort.

I'm still predicting something like 38-10 but let's see.

I've been impressed with Darcy Lussick ( again) he's having a real dig.

And the Turbo's of course, thank god we have them.

 

[Fluffy]

Api needs to work on his passing, especially on the 5th.

 

[Harvies elbow]

Green topping the tackle count at half time with 19

He's having a go. Probably needs more confidence with the ball but that's the thing, continuity of the game day team.

 

[Eagle2830]

Classic stuff from D$E. Couldn't believe that just came out of his mouth. The blind leading the blind here.

He'll make a good politician one day

 

[Crusher_Cleal]

Taupau and Snake pretty much non-existent in that 1st half.

 

[Fluffy]

yes, 7 hitups for 70m then benched at 23 minutes

Pretty good for a starting prop against the Aussie front row

 

[Karin]

Probably not when you are half way through a game trailing though... The media would have had a field day if he would have come up with a comment like that at half time.

Maybe at full time in the post match press conference, not at half time in the middle of a match

 

[MadMarcus]

You do realise we were 4 wins and 4 losses at one stage this season?

Ah, the glory days!

 

[davohan123]

Wasted half again
Api Jake T and Tom T playing above everyone else.
Brett Stewart just please head off to France he looks so lost today.

As I said earlier Cowboys will go one with this game 38-12 scoreline happening.

Is Taupau playing?

Yeah thought the same but remembered Taumalolo run over him at one stage

38-12 sounds about right

 

[Harvies elbow]

Chuck the bloody thing around I reckon. Jungle ball time.
