Game Day: Manly v Raiders [Round 12, 2018]

[HappilyManly]

Fox showing Leilua's hand has chalk on it after Kels drags him over the line - Touchie missed it and Raiders score

 

[Fibro Eagle]

I can't believe how slow Browny is looking. He wasn't even a speed bump. Can Matty Wright last the next 40 mins at hooker though!-(

I hope so he got a better pass from dummy 1/2 than the poo

 

[Tragic Eagle]

The linesman is blind!!!!

 

[cava2323]

Wright’s going to revolutionise dummy half play ..

 

[mickqld]

Once again it's penalty tennis. If this is what the nrl think the game should be then no one will be watching. It's just garbage. Why play at all. Just toss a coin for who'll win the penalty count. There's the winner teams that milk the penalties from gullible shthouse refs

 

[Bubbler]

Hastings would be so much better.

 

[damiennp90]

If it were other teams, the commentators would be blowing up. As it's Manly, it's just yeah, move on. Annoys the **** out of me.

At least Gaz mentioned it mate.

And if I remember Brandy said the penalty to Jorge was harsh.

That's all you can ask.

 

[pjayz]

In that last try, in the position he was in at best Suli was getting an ankle tap on him, he was already behind Croker

They just showed the replay - Suli had coverage - no need for Uate to come in.

Those two need to talk in defence.

 

[highlandeagle]

Refs, linesmans and uate are killing me!!!

 

[Chip and Chase]

Got to go and pick the kids up from training. Good luck - hope we can bring this one home, it's there to be won. Sezer and Austin have done nothing so far, so I can't see where their points are going to come from if we tighten up the middle

 

[Budgie]

Suprised not so see Bozo on here calling him weak

I think he's at the gym looking in the mirror. At least that's what he was advocating earlier.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Absolute Jekyl & Hyde stuff. Dominate first 20 and then fall in a hole for the second. Self-sabotaging at its best

Sadly it's the way of modern League now, we got the run of penalties and flew out to a lead, and after that happens a run of penalties to the other side and they even the game back up

What separates the top sides is the ability to defend those runs and neither of these teams are among that bunch

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Everything looked great until Lewis Brown (who'd been good up till that point) took a dud option on the shoreside, the penalties and poor decisions started flowing against us and Late started rushing in. Sort out the right edge, hold onto the ball and we should be okay.

 

[HappilyManly]

Wish Manly would attack on the RHS more.

Chez, Lane, Suli and Uate are bigger than their Raiders counterparts.

Rapana and Leilua too big for Kels and Jorge

 

[niccipops]

Whoever has the ball will get penalties. Have to aim to have the ball.
I'm a football genius lol

 

[HK_Eagle]

So, TB mentions how our players are getting caught on the ground out of play during the ruck and allowing the Raiders to get the momentum... so, what does Marty do first set of 6... Geez who'd be a coach!

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Not confident on this one

If we get a run of ball, I think Tom can open them up, but have a feeling we will only see 40% of the ball this half

 

[HK_Eagle]

Fark guys, do you actually listen to your coach??? Control the farking ruck and stop giving them all the momentum

 

[HappilyManly]

Kapow's tired and Sipley may stop these lazy errors

 

[HK_Eagle]

Kapow's tired and Sipley may stop these lazy errors

Agree, Marty looks gassed already and his defence has been poor to start this second half
