Game Day: Manly v Roosters [Round 4, 2016]

[yokahontas]

Latrell Mitchell is either made of papier mâché or he is a cat

Having seen him play 20s last year - most definitely a grade A, rolled gold cat.

Also, his mum would be up there in the running for world's biggest bogan - she was sitting right behind us at last year's 20s game carrying on like a pork chop. Latrell drops the ball and she comes out with 'bloody hell Latrell!', which of course we latched onto and yelled at him whenever he went near the ball after that...so then she called us rashist (racist but with a slur in the middle?)...good times.

 

[HappilyManly]

Vave, Brown, Leary, Darcy - well done !

 

[Pablo]

Also no way we deserved to be on the end of that lopsided penalty count.

New rule tonight. Anytime chooks drop it in the ruck they get a penalty

 

[HappilyManly]

We lost every stat except the one that counts

 

[COMMANDER]

We make it so hard for ourselves giving away penalties late in sets or relieving penalties deep in the opposition territory. That's not sustainable.

 

[SilverSkier]

Didn't see any of it. Relied on my fellow Silvertails posts and sat in my car listening to the last 10 mins on am radio.(with a strong beverage in my hand).Thoughts- a win is a win. Funny that this week has so far had 2 teams that have scored less tries than the opposition to win the game. Don't see that very often.

 

[Chip and Chase]

In fairness Brown and Lussick both clocked up 50m in one run each

 

[HappilyManly]

Winner Winner chicken for dinner.

Vave deserves his chicken schnitzel tonight - played strong

 

[HappilyManly]

We make it so hard for ourselves giving away penalties late in sets or relieving penalties deep in the opposition territory. That's not sustainable.

Guerra and Nappa threw away the ball after they were tackled - but that dweeb gave the strip penalties.

But we do lie on the player and flop on a guy on the ground too much

 

[Bird of Prey]

Poor DCE he is being used as a battering ram needs to stop that a sap. Walker was very impressive organising the attack getting better each week.

 

[Killer03]

I love games when Jamie cracks it with some knobs on the other side, usually it seems to fire him up and the team as well. Hastings now gets on the same bracket as tools like Keary.

 

[HoldenV8]

Laurie Daley may have been happy to see Ferguson score, but he won't be happy with 7 missed tackles. We missed 39 tackles compared to 22 from the Chooks.

We had 46% possession and a 79% completion rate (27/34).

We got hammered in offloads 12-4.

They won the penalties 9-4. Surprisingly though, the errors were us 7, them 12.

All they need to do is make less errors and more completions.

Do this and a win is almost assured!

Well no we won completion rate, missed tackles, tackles, kick metres and completion rate

 

[andyvb]

I missed the first half. What happened to buhrer

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

New rule tonight. Anytime chooks drop it in the ruck they get a penalty

100% went their way ALL ****ING NIGHT!!!!

Vave, Brown, Leary, Darcy - well done !

Jorge's metres out of trouble and as an extra forward show his worth.
Obviously defence is another story.

 

[HappilyManly]

Well no we won completion rate, missed tackles, tackles, kick metres and completion rate

Score, Possession and Penalties are all that matter.

Manly need to get their discipline hammered into them ASAP

 

[yokahontas]

I missed the first half. What happened to buhrer

Broke his hand about 18 minutes in. Poor bugger is having a huge run of bad luck with injuries

 

[SilverSkier]

Can anyone shed some light on the speed of the game? Anytime I listen to the radio(abc) they said it was a fast game
