Game Day: Manly v Roosters [Round 5, 2017]

[mickqld]

Was out working last night. Was driving up the M1 motorway Gold Coast with radio on. Couldn't listen to the game was too tense but switched MMM on just before Walker scored the matchwinner. I deadset nearly drove off the road. High beams flashing as I'm going apesht in the car. What a win what a team. We're back baby !!!!!

Doing some fact checking you'll find Roosters have worse record than Manly with CUMMINS.

Doesn't mean he likes us more than the roosters.

Just means we're THAT good! yay

Up to three viewings already ! Anyone else ? Hahahaha

Well I have made an appearance to congratulate Manly for the win. Your team have gone from the ridiculous to the sublime. Outplayed and outmuscled but I'm not surprised because we always have a problem. To be honest, I haven't seen the game properly because I was trying to stream it but the connection kept dropping out. I did see the Walkers try...excellent play. Cheer fellas and if there are any ladies, likewise!

You a Chooks fan mate?

Very classy response mate. Im sure the Roosters will be there at the business end.

I actually don't think it was Jake's fault he didn't lock up the ball - it looked on replay like he was trying to get down under the ball, but when Winterstein joined the tackle late he actually got in Jake's way and held him more upright. Pearce was underneath both of them and Jake couldn't get to him. Frank should've been trying to get between the ball and the turf at that stage, it was the only helpful thing he could've done.

Yeah, I got to watch the replay again last night and I did pick up the Winterstein involvement, which ironically didn't help. The direction of Winterstein's momentum worked against what Jake was trying to do and actually helped Pearce swivel the way he did. That said, Jake did get caught hanging back with Marty and both of them should have been pushing forward rather than sliding on their line.

 

[Ryan]

Crazy thing for mine, is we have a team here fully 1.2M cap wise worse off than any other team (thank you Todd Greenburg - hope you're choking on your cornflakes this morning at last night's result).

 

[HK_Eagle]

How lazy is latrell on that last try? He leaves a huge gap in defence, then barely turns to jog after Dylan. If I were Robinson or a rooster fan I'd be highly critical of this lack of effort.

Yeah, I was watching a replay of the game and was thinking the exact same thing. He barely jogged back after Walker ran through and he was definitely in the mindset of expecting somebody else to deal with it.

Well, it's confirmed then. He is the second coming of GI

They are making out as though Latrell is the second coming of Jesus. I wouldn't swap him for either Walker OR Kelly. One thing I cannot fathom:

Dylan Walker - 22 years old !
Brian Kelly - 20 years old !

Keep them together Manly for the next decade ! Boooosh !

Always have...Cheers!

Unless SKD keeps dropping the ball

 

[Ryan]

Always have...Cheers!

Well, you have a bloody good team and roster this year. Can you give us any insight into Liam Knight?

Latrell is also one of those players who is always miraculously *injured* after he makes a mistake. He's got skills, for sure, but big questions over his toughness.

Oh, and his mum is queen of the bogan harpies...

 

[Shoe1]

If Latrell went for the ball instead of attempting a block, Walker doesn't get his first try.

The roster is nothing if you don't have the leadership. The coach appointing someone like Friend to be a co-captain is absurd. While I think he is the hardest worker, a good leader is someone like Smith or JT. Not only do they lead by example, but they have a charisma that is part of leadership. friend doesn't have that and Cordner is new at that role and perhaps he's a little gun-shy. Also, it seems that we don't have a plan B. All those bombs to Uate, were ridiculous. he wasn't dropping any and they were still going there. That wouldn't happen at the Storm or Cows. They would change things...We get stuck on one plan and if it works, great but if it doesn't, then errors creep...our playmaker,I think its Pearce, well he tries hard but you know he doesn't have many weapons in his arsenal. He is what he is and no more...he's No Frills but one thing he is tough and that i can't criticize.

Sorry but as far as Liam Knight...I'm actually in Brisbane so I have no information about where he's at but I believe he's at Wyong. the roster is too big at the moment so there are some players that might get tired of waiting until they get their chance. We still have Takeiaho to come back so that would be good BUT I doubt that it would have mattered last night. Manly were too good and we were in another headspace. We only looked like winners in that first try, after that, it was just trying to plug holes.When we lose, the whole team plays like losers.

We say this about most refs....but I don't think cummings likes us that much. He gets cranky at players a lot which is not a good sign for so called 'unbiased' refs.


A shame Voss had to say at the last try "they say manly fans don't travel...but those who have are going home happy." - it's just an unnecessary subtle dig or at the very least perpetuates another anti Manly boganistic myth.

Yet...watching the game again was just as awesome! woohoo!

There is NO doubt that certain referees have a "thing" against certain teams or even certain players. However, I think that D.C.E. has been absolutely brilliant in handling refs this season with that calm respectful manner of his. After only a handful of games, I am already convinced that Cherry is already one of the smartest captains in this competition.
