Game Day: Manly v Roosters [Round 2, 2024]

[effnic]

Greg Alexander's hatred for Manly is really annoying when he is commentator of our games. He doesnt even hide it. Flop calls the Northern Beaches home as well.

 

[Under the Sticks]

How did the work experience ref get the big game?

 

[davohan123]

My take on that half
We had enough ball and chances should be up by 8-12 points
DCE not having his best game
Brooks looks dangerous
Koula strong
We are missing Saab badly today.
Forwards started strong.

In saying all that
Roosters have destroyed our right side defense.
They have only 4/5 play the balls in our 20 for 2 tries.

I still say if they get any decent ball in our 20 They will run away with it

To me turbo not as damaging today

We need to score first to be any chance this half.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Koula having a good game against Manu and Young, looked likely in Vegas, Tommy needs a bit more space.

 

[DUFFMAN]

Anyone else really wishing Brandy Alexander would STFU??
F***ing Manly-hating d*ckwad…

A lot of commentators hate certain teams and can generally hide it but Brandy wouldn't know how, Manly can pull off a miracle play and he will be looking for a fault or downing play it.

 

[Disco]

We look a proper football team this year.

 

[davohan123]

Oh and fox brandy death riding us the hatred is real.

But still better than channel 9 anyday

 

[XV-1]

Brooks has been good for us again, what a good buy. As has the forwards and bench.

Our left edge defence is suspect, Garrick still finding his feet

?? Roosters have scored both their tries down our right edge.

 

[eagleron]

this ref does this to us all the time, absolute joke

Maybe it's because he's a Manly junior and he's over compensating for the perceived bias

 

[bob dylan]

We should be up by 10 but I have been very impressed by

1. Our pack (bench players too)

2. Luke Brooks

3. Koula

 

[Jerry1]

Oh and fox brandy death riding us the hatred is real.

But still better than channel 9 anyday

Been watching on 9 but Brandy is usually neutral. I generally find him one of the best commentators.

 

[bob dylan]

Maybe it's because he's a Manly junior and he's over compensating for the perceived bias

or he is incompetent.

 

[hozza]

Close game, always going to be. Hopefully we can snatch the win in the last 10 min.

 

[eagleron]

Oh and fox brandy death riding us the hatred is real.

But still better than channel 9 anyday

Channel 9 have been death riding is all game, it's sickening

 

[Eagle 1]

Even the Chooks backs look huge

Roosters are holding on and getting away with really slowing any momentum.

Especially JWH why doesn't he get pinged for grabbing the jersey in the play the balls.

 

[davohan123]

Our defense needs work but attack is looking good.

Still think roosters to run over the top of us but we are in fight so let's see what happens.

Good looking crowd today.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Roosters have had no ball down our end and have scored twice

we have had all the ball in there end and we look completely headless!!!!!

fix it now!!

 

[Eagle 1]

Channel 9 have been death riding is all game, it's sickening

The sweeter the victory Ron

 

[Rafferty]

We‘ve been the better side, should be in front by more, our forwards have hit harder than theirs.

 

[eagleron]

or he is incompetent.

Always that possibility Bob
