Game Day: Manly v Cowboys [Round 3, 2017]

[Rodo]

The Islander Boys are all very devout and offer a prayer before and after games.

I love the Fiji National Team's hymn at Internationals.

Very moving, although I'm a heathen - luckily God forgives all

Interesting. This is the first time I have noticed it. So I guess they must do this at every NRL game, even at Brookie. Or is this one special?

Most games have it, if the TV bother to stay on the ground instead of showing us their ugly mugs.

If you have Foxtel then the pregame dressingroom scenes usually have players praying on their own.

Then after the match, players from both sides join together.

Remember the good old days when you used to clap off the visiting Team - very sportsman like?

Greenturd should reintroduce some civility

 

[davohan123]

Just blow fulltime already!

And the winner is manly
Never wanted that game to end so proud of our boys tonight

I really like what I've seen from Bainbridge. Has been a Tough introduction to first grade. Very impressive.

 

[Harvies elbow]

A great win.
I will write a poem about this day.

Yeah do that wedgetail eagle.
Be good to read.
Make sure you mention Nate's damaging melon.

Thanks for posting this Happily Manly. Not just Mark enjoying this tonight.

 

[Brooke]

Left it all out on the field

How good was BJ tonight?

 

[Midnight Rambler]

I have no idea who played well, too many bevy's. Pretty sure it was a team effort though.....
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnly!

 

[Brooke]

Lewis Brown MOM

No but he did have a go. But it won't be enough. Hastings must be the bench utility. He was great tonight.

 

[Dan]

Bj was huge just so much effort and heart in that whole game. Every time they looked close to a scoring manly jerseys came from everywhere to wrap them up. We defend like that and cut out the errors many more wins will come

 

[Wombat64]

Wow. Great Win. Very Happy. Loved the effort. I admit I didn't expect that.
#iamasausagerolleatingdummy and happy to be one!

In the words of Sergeant Schultz I know nothing......

 

[globaleagle]

Go Manly!

Big win coming up.

Manly by 20!

Genius!

Almost a 'dead set' genius but 2 points off the correct margin.

So....

Genius!


I am so smart.....

s..m..r..t!

What a great game to watch.

What a pleasure it was to watch Manly play as a 'team.'

woohoo!



Absolutely well done!

P.S. - Genius!

Hey, you could actually hear questions being asked in the presser. How (overdue) much better that is!

Reading game day threads is often hilarious when you log on and find 30 pages of a total emotional roller coaster!

For those of you who don't want to read 30 pages of dribble (mine included) here is a summary:

Pre-game:
We're going to lose. We suck. Every selection is crap. I'm just a realist when I say we're the worst thing in the universe. (ge - we're gunna win.)

Game:

We suck
stupid refs
wait, we got some points
stupid refs
they scored
stupid refs
we make a million mistakes
stupid refs
Hang on...we're winning
stupid refs
everyone is an awesome player
stupid refs

Post game:

We win! I knew it, well done guys, you were awesome and we love everyone
stupid refs
yay
stupid refs
it's only one win though...but I'm not negative just realistic!
stupid refs
yay
stupid refs
yay, tears, booze, happy happy joy joy!
stupid refs

Bed time!
(stupid refs)

 

[Wombat64]

I could easily get used to this winning feeling again! So nice to wake up to a win. Come on boys. Let's back it up and do it again next week as well and show the know nothing sausage roll eating dummies (like me).

Same, at first i was angry this morning when my 10 month old son woke me up and would wouldn't go back to sleep. Flick the TV on and the game is on replay!! I gave him an apology, just wanted his dad to be as happy as last night after the win

 

[Dan]

Archie is rewatching the game, learning how to yell at it, not wearing pants....takes after his father

 

[BOZO]

What a great victory !!!
One for the true Believers
This team proved that if they cut down its errors they can cut down the best of teams like the Cowboys .
This team typified the true manly never say die spirit .
This team displayed all the great attributes of the great Manly teams of any golden era tonight with , Guts , skill, passion
Our captain DCE showed Thurston who is boss
and let Tallis know he is a Toss
Go the mighty Sea eagles !!!!

 

[HappilyManly]

Refs had some terrible calls against us as well. Every time we dropped it in the play the ball it was a knock on even if their hands were all over it and every time they dropped it we got penalised. 50/50 refs calls we may have won by 40.

That Api one in the 2nd half went 2 meters behind him.
Yes it then bounced forward, but it was from its own energy and was stillbehind Api

 

[BOZO]

Cow's weren't at there best tonight and we were better than we have been but you got take it when it presents itself and the boys lifted tonight and got the points Well done some good signs tonight walker angry in defence Myles running and tackling hard wingers running hard

The Cows were only as good as we let them be . We were fcking AWESOME !!!
