Game Day: Manly v Rabbids [Round 20, 2016]

[Nordburg]

In my view starling has to be dropped.

Parcell straight to he bench. Api is not a 80 minute player.

Will give brown the Beneft of the doubt.

Killer is playing a lot better than DCE. DCE makes the wrong playmaking decision 50% of the time.

But hey we won. So come on boys.

Didn't think someone could have that many wrong statements in the one comment

 

[Loobs]

And good break from Jake at the end to fluff his SuperCoach numbers

 

[conanu]

We won but I am really disappointed with that garbage second half it was atrocious. Feels like we lost. Really need to go into the market for some quality second tier players. Missing a fit Matai and Snake really chews up too much of our cap and we are left with reserve graders like Green, Wright and Williame and we have Lewis Brown in the Centres.

 

[KeithSheldon]

That was nerve-wrecking.

Also, anyone that thinks the Burgess no try is a try is wrong. You need to regain possession to score a try. He didn't regain the ball at all.

 

[bob dylan]

Jorge Taufua played his best game tonight.

 

[HappilyManly]

How many forward passes did the Ref's let go? There were two in succession near the end FFS

 

[KeithSheldon]

Also we may have had atrocious attack in the second half, but at least our defense is there these days.

 

[Bird of Prey]

We won Now let's get the rubbish about making the finals out the road we don't deserve to be there. Enjoy the wins when we get them and let's look forward to next year.

 

[Midnight Rambler]

Jake Trbojevic 18 runs, 197 mtrs, 34 tackles....huge.
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnlyy

 

[Harvies elbow]

We won that game as well as we were allowed to win that game.
The most disgraceful refereeing performance of the year.
F*cking amateur hour at its best.
Full marks to the boys for the win.

Yeah exactly - the rule as it is now has shifted quite firmly away from the old "one finger = control" garbage

 

[Simonmyers11]

Very greasy conditions and hard to play footy when souths were rushing up off side in dce face all night. Gritted out the win though

Leary went ok tonight and big Marty made some very very timely runs in those last 10 mins. Buhrer good again.

 

[niccipops]

After the second try I was thinking Panthers game all over again. They had enough in them to win it though. Credit to them for hanging in tough. You could see all players were busted but just kept trying for each other. Souths got away with plenty tonight. Slow to get up. Lying all over them. Forward passes by the dozen.
There'll be a whinge-athon about the bunnies no try of course.

 

[eggson]

Happy with a win. Tale of two halves again but good to see bits of cohesion, special mention to the rise of Darcy. Horrible year but he's come good and can be a Manly legend yet

 

[mozgrame]

Moz,
I sense you would have thought to yourself, now that bottle could be bigger!
But that's all they have at the mini-bar. It's a start, or might I say a finish because by the time I get to that bottle I will be well on the way after dinner and pre-dinner drinks!.
Now, can anyone tell me, does it help Manly to yell at the TV when watching the 9:50 replay? (not that I will care about your answer!).
NYEagle

How's the night looking, mate? Now you get to really relax

Time to give the old room service a workout!!

 

[Rambo1987]

We were terrible in the second half tonight but gee if we have gone backwards what about the Rabbits. We should have put 50 on them.
As for the Refs they must have got paid by the penalties they gave.

 

[skull61]

Really should have gone on with that and won by 20 but unfortunately we have too many reserve grade standard players in Wright, Wiliame, Greene, Brown to threaten good teams

 

[conanu]

Tom T, Jake T, DCE, Lyon, Tafua, Buhrer, Tapau, Myles, Leary are all good players. The rest are barely reserve graders. We need to fill some holes for next year.

I thought that last week but we seem to have toughened up. Keeping the same team together without injury helps.

Missing a fit Matai and Snake really chews up too much of our cap and we are left with reserve graders like Green, Wright and Williame and we have Lewis Brown in the Centres.

Lewis Brown is in the centres because we have a state of origin centre and a kiwi international on the injured list No team has 4 first grade quality centres. We also have our best hooker sidelined which means ordinary service to our halves.

Any win is tough to get in this comp. Enjoy them when we get them.

Titans have Sharks We have Knights. We will be two points out of the eight in a week so can we cut the total gloom stuff just a little maybe.
