Game Day: Manly v Cowboys [Round 9, 2016]

[wombatgc]

The boys seem to be trying hard, but Cummins is playing "Wack a Mole": every time we get our heads up he smashes us ffs

No wonder Robinson wanted to smack him.

Out of the Cornrow boys
Steve Matai >>>>> Kapow
I'm expecting more from Kapow. Looking like a lemon tonight.

 

[cherry_poppins]

I want Coote finished

 

[Robeagle]

We are not actually playing too bad. We are being killed by penalties, Cummins and the fact the Cows are awesome. Any team facing the cows with that much possession and penalties would be down.

We give away too many penalties

 

[Red Pill]

Godinet should not be out there!
Mateo much better option

 

[torana355]

I know the refs are bad, i agree, but we have so many fundamental issues that need to be worked on before we can blame the refs for a loss.

 

[cherry_poppins]

Can someone play 'the rains of castamere ' in the refs locking rooms?

 

[Garts]

We give away too many penalties

For sure but some of the ones we have been on the end of have been bullsh!t. Cows clearly the better side but we have not been assisted by our discipline or Cummins.

 

[ssteacup]

two things, we wont win this game and we are a bottom of the 8 team at best and thats it.

Lol hi Ben

Ref a game down the middle for a change

Kapow has done nothing all season. A little bit more than miles he is past it

3 tries from penalties

I don't see how you justify that comment

Unless there is no other option Mateo won't be selected. He's on the nose for not agreeing to quit his contract. And good on him for making a stand.

 

[KOMORI]

We give away too many penalties

Out of the 5 penalties we've "conceded", I'd think that there was a single penalty that was not A)flat out wrong or B)bullsh1t grey area penalties that Cummins refuses to ping them for.

We are NOT less disciplined than the cows, just far more closely policed in the ruck.

 

[simon64]

I can't believe people are shocked or blowing up that we are behind.

We've been caned in the penalties.
We're missing Snake, Tommy, Api and throw Ferris in as well.
They've had 64% of the ball.

And let's face it. Whether you like it or not, the Cows are damn good football team.

They boys are having a real go. Proud of the effort so far.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I hate games where the refs decide who wins and who loses.

And sadly it's most games these days.

I'm really, really starting to lose interest in the whole thing now.

Refs made mistakes in the past , and often these decided games ( and that was bad enough) but now it seems the NRL, refs OR the betting agencies have just too much say in what goes on.

 

[Gib the Pom]

Referee has been an absolute disgrace, game was gonna be hard enough as it is without him gifting back to back sets on our line for non-penalties. Boys stuck in there well, although our tryline D needs work.

I know we have injuries, and a poor ref, but we are still miles off this level. Fair play to the Cows, they are the benchmark. And that's not a knock - just a realistic assessment of where we're at. Rebuilds take time.

 

[cherry_poppins]

Kapow has done nothing all season. A little bit more than miles he is past it

This is a Manly site so maybe watch the games so you'll look like you know what your on about

Kapow has improved over his time at the tigers

 

[Turbo]

Matthew wright terrific buy, he could be our winger next year if turbo goes to fullback. Walker solid at the back. WTF lussick starting? He is a lazy and should be in reggies. Really impressed with the Boys defence but the refs aren't the problem it's holding onto the ball and why are we toe poking the ball every time it's on the ground just pick it up and the score could be 18 22. Cherry started poorly with 2 dead balls and 2 penalties and errors. But made a good tackle and set up a try,

 

[wombatgc]

According to Vossy.....Killer was onside. Bogus call from the touchie gave Cummins the excuse he needed to give them another penalty.

The touchies can't pick a forward pass to save themselves, but no problem making dodgy offside calls.
