Game Day: Manly v Rabbitohs [Round 5, 2016]

[ssteacup]

FFS surely we have someone who can kick the ball.

 

[Simonmyers11]

ahhh... would of loved one more before half time. Souths looked shot at the end? Manly have to keep doing what they are doing. simple runs up the middle and short balls, running straight.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Terrible option from Brett there. I feel ultimately that not scoring in that last 5 min period will be costly in the long run

After watching that half it has also confirmed to me that not picking Issac John was a big mistake, no genuine half out there is showing

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Don't worry boys, we've got this one , Souths are a mess!!

 

[JenEagle]

Those three soft tries early will cost us the game imo.

 

[ssteacup]

We were getting on top too. Damn it we needed a score right at the end.

 

[Killer03]

Great comeback boys!

This game is here to win! The energy is with us, as others have said Inglis was looking great when Souths were on top and now is completely anonymous.

The punch from our back has been great, Taupau, matai, tommy all contributing. Snake is scheming, and i think Starling has been great off the bench.

But the main to win this is Walker, they can't seem to contain his running threat. He is playing how he should, hard tough running.

Come on boys you can win this!

 

[Ryan]

Brett farked that completely - looking lethargic and poor for the 2nd game straight

 

[Eagles2nv]

Well seeing we were getting hammered in the first 20 we have done ok.

Would have been nice to go to the break with another try.

Missing dce is really showing with our 5th tackle options. We have had 1 repeat set of a kivk by vave

 

[ricardo]

Brilliant line "a trombone in the violin section".

Haha gold! I thought Vave's grubber was brilliant!

 

[maxta]

yeh from the lounge chair Kapow was the option.... But at least back in there

 

[Chip and Chase]

Gee we needed another try there, all that possession and momentum needs to be converted. Well if we can get an even share of the ball and a fair shake from the refs we are still in this. Need to score first though obviously.

 

[KOMORI]

Late, high... No worries..

 

[FlyingHigh]

I think we blew a couple of chances there. Hope it doesn't come back to bite us.

 

[bob dylan]

Very impressed with Josh Starling.

And is this our $1mil half back, he is starting to impress me.

 

[Loobs]

Terrible kick from Snake so we should *rewinds forum to first ten minutes of game, gets correct response* sack Barrett...

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Api is doing ok, good fill in but yes I agree Isaac John is actually a half back.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

We got back in the game when Sam B had a break have to contain him and we get this game

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

That Burgi hit on Starling seemed to knock another battery on. Fired him up.

 

[Simonmyers11]

we are going to rue that first 15mins when we were terrible. Can still win this, need to score first obviously and contain their go forward in the first 10 mins, then they tire!
