Game Day: Manly v Panthers [Round 16, 2018]

[HK_Eagle]

Extend Barrett's contract NOW

 

[Pepi]

A courageous effort considering the bull**** penalties that we endured. I thought the Panthers were all over the play the ball.
Fainu, Jake, Tom, Thommo and DCE were all good.

 

[MissKate]

Well done to the boys, different attitude helps make things happen

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

@Bradza i am man enough to admit I was wrong thought all week we would get flogged and take my humble pie
Great win by the boys
That makes up for the last few weeks

Me too!!

 

[mickqld]

Omg I don't know what to do. We won. Well done boys great effort. We can play competitive footy.....occasionally

 

[niccipops]

it wasn't pretty but it was a win so it was......beautiful.😀

 

[Class of 96]

Relief from the spoon, but need more wins to guarantee that!!

Based on that performance, we should knock over the bye next week and collect another 2 points.

HODGKO .... Best 5/8 since Bobby Fulton !!!!!!!!!!!!

Or Adam Hayden...

 

[Simonmyers11]

Hope walkers injury is not as bad as first thought. With that side we are capable of more victories yet

 

[globaleagle]

it was pretty but it was a win so it was......beautiful.😀

It was pretty hey?!?!?!?!

 

[Tomay]

Good stuff, love a win! For those who said we have nothing left to lose, this feeling is something to me even if we are still at the bottom end.

 

[HK_Eagle]

I told ya I smelled an upset

And yet, it was also bathed in that same smell I was alluding to 😉

 

[HappilyManly]

So happy for Manly.

Now enjoy the BYE and lets get some more scalps

 

[Bill Hamilton]

Don't sack Barrett

It's a plot I tell ya...Panthers played like crap, Manly win, Barrett gets support from Terry, Penn reads Terry's post, offers Barrett an extension. The Panther Conspiracy thickens.

Seriously though please sack Barrett.

 

[niccipops]

It was pretty hey?!?!?!?!

oops nah. Wasn't I mean. lol. I'll fix.
Post match winning excitement leads to ST errors.

I ended up having an argument with the wife after blowing up after they were given the penalty to even the scores lol. Every time we attacked their line they were a mile offside, the receiver had players on him instantly, and then we got pinged for offside, so frustrating !!!

Sure I also heard 10mins into the 2nd half the pocket ref call "holding penalty penalty" when we had the ball and that germ lead ref ignored it

Nice gutsy win with those injuries tossed into the mix

 

[Harvies elbow]

Manly win.
Parra lose the 'unloseable'.
Bloody good weekend so far...

It shows how much we missed our forwards out with injury. The combination of Tanginoa and Paseka off the bench is what allows our side to 'play the 80'. Taupau and AFB are great up the middle, although they can't stay on for the entirety of the match, and the players replacing them have been inadequate without both Paseka & Tanginoa. Suli is good, and Wright/Parker weren't found out tonight. Great result, although the efforts of some players do sugarcoat the quality of the side. As long as we continue to grow, and win, we can finish this season respectably. I think the reality is hitting the players now that they have greatly underachieved to this point.

Strong win manly, was eerily confident prior, although still comes as a surprise. Shame about Walker, hope he's ok.

Yep, I have to wrap the desire and attitude to grit that out. There was a period of play there from AFB, where it was looking like an ominous collapse. AFB dropped the ball coming out, then chose to roll around on the ground after being involved in a tackle without any genuine desire to get up and back in play. He was subsequently penalised when the play was turned back inside and he was still offside ambling back for a breather. It was very lazy and poor commitment, those 1%ers that make a difference. At that stage I thought we were going to cave, but to their credit. the team pulled together and battled hard all the way through to the end.
