Game Day: Manly v Knights [Round 14, 2017]

[Nordburg]

Errors are hurting us , for sure....

Lets not forget though that 1 of our penalties was for a double movement, and 1 in the last 30 secs of the half.

Penalties = momentum.....it's all about game timing and field position when you get them.

It's also about discipline

It's also about discipline

Of course.

7 errors but let's blame the refs because Knights have 2 more penalties.

2 more penalties, but how many of theirs were given to them on the last tackle, a couple of metres out from our line? How many of ours were given early in the count, in fairly useless positions? Don't forget two of ours were the one on the goal line after the double movement, and the one with 15 seconds to go in the half.

Watch closely, boys and girls - this is how officials orchestrate momentum the way they want it...

LOL you got no clue.
the last one he gave us in the 39th minute was a fing joke. the ones he gave them were on the 4th and 5th greatly impacting the game. We have to make more tackles and they have more chance to score and wear us down what's wrong with you.

 

[drower]

Ref will go quiet now until we go ahead

 

[Danly Manly]

Manly to score 5 tries in the second half!

 

[HoldenV8]

Even Billy harrigan is bagging the ref.
Reckons he's bogging the game down.
" Doing time with Ashley Klein " he says.
Rare.

That's not the first time this year that Harrigan has said during his radio call that the refs are giving Manly a bum steer.

 

[HappilyManly]

Ross failed his HIA so Manly pass to the RIGHT

I wish he'd have said it when he reffed us.

Hold on to the ball and don't give the ref a chance to penalise

 

[Dan]

Some yes, all no.

It's wet weather footy, you could penalise almost every single set ( twice) but FMD how about just letting them play footy rather than deciding it with a whistle.

you could the point is that you have to do it evenly though and that just hasn't happene

 

[HappilyManly]

Kels second dropped ball -whyyyyyy

 

[Simonmyers11]

God we are horrible in the wet

 

[Pablo]

Faaaark

 

[Nordburg]

Kelly drops it,refs fault

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Kelly. Hard pass granted, but somehow I would back Gutherson to hold onto that and pass or score himself.

 

[HK_Eagle]

FFS! Bombed a try there. More poor handling.
The thing that annoys me more though is this continued lateral movement. We are not earning the momentum and right to swing it. Playing like under 7s and expecting to pass and run around the outside of them, making easy pickings.

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

Guess it's kind of reassuring to know Jamie Lyon wasn't the reason for the refs hating us.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Thank f-ck...

 

[HappilyManly]

Siro Try - now 6 more please
