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

[Mark from Brisbane]

Not to be BUT fabulous effort, really happy with that ( apart from the first 20 minutes).

Api , take a bow son, great work!!

 

[Eagleheart]

**** BS, we could have had that....!!

 

[Jerry1]

Our halfs were good

 

[damiennp90]

With DCE we win that game. Halves played very well but took the wrong option when they wernt running.

 

[JenEagle]

Great effort but valuable 2 points that we needed.

 

[torana355]

With the amount of ball we had we should have won that but at least the team tried hard. As others have said with all the short turnarounds the team has made me proud.

 

[mickqld]

Great effort from both teams. We just lacked the finishing class but it will come. One that got away but very proud of the way we fought.

 

[Garts]

With our injuries and 3 games in 10 days and the start we gave them, bloody good effort. We were probably the better side but just lacked the polish to finish it off.

 

[eggson]

Some really good signs despite us not scoring and winning. New halves pairing, yet another forward pack and bench combination, short turnaround... i have a good feeling

 

[ando]

Isnt it the coaches job to have the side fired up from the first minute?

 

[KeithSheldon]

We cost ourselves that one. If we weren't so awful in the first 20 minutes we would have won this easily.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

AND,what about Hoorhay, never put a foot wrong all night!!

 

[Dan]

As much as that loss hurts, as every loss does, we were right up against the wall in every aspect with this game and to get so close to the win was awesome. A better kicking game and DCE would have made all the difference there.

Some really good signs and we actually played really well, we were the better team and deserved the win, we just didnt have the execution needed. So close, and I am more than happy with the performance, I was expecting a flogging

 

[damiennp90]

I'm happy with the effect.

But a bit sad. We were clearly the better team for 65 minutes.

Have to fix our starts.

 

[maxta]

That gives good hope for the rest of 2016....Souths run away with all that momentum against most teams....not flash, but gritty & committed...happy with that

 

[brad]

Im disappointed but proud of the boys. Api great game .

 

[ssteacup]

Poor start and not happy with the loss, but happy with the effort. I thought if we had some sort of kicking game we win with ease.

 

[skull61]

Very disappointing to lose that as Souths are not very good and the match was there for the taking. Little disappointed in Snake's play tonight

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Forgetting the first 20, and I know we can't ( what the **** went on there), we looked pretty good tonight.

Just not the finishing touches to get the extra points.

They will get better.

I'm sad we lost but happy it's moving forward!

 

[Simonmyers11]

Ah so disappointing. We were the better side, just a horrible first 15 mins. Happens a lot with the 5 day turn a round, teams start slow until they get the body moving. Showed real heart and fight, would of been enormous for the team if we pulled it off. Not to be. Some real good signs though.
