Game Day: Manly V Sharks [Round 3, 2016]

[hozza]

We look a whole lot better this week! Defence is looking like Manly defence. And attack looks the goods as well. Even if we go down I'm feeling a whole lot better about the season..

 

[Simonmyers11]

Snake back is making a huge difference in defence.Symonds defending well and cherry really trying hard. Looking more dangerous. Walker looks likley and kapow on the left and the snake, lyon tom T combo is looking good. we can win this

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Warren Smith f@ck off. Knock on my arse.

You would be angry too if your thoughtless parents had named you Warren.

 

[niccipops]

Absolute heart attack stuff.
Good to see some Manly back in the team.

 

[Jerry1]

To behonest snake could play half. Turbo has covered full back as much as snake..

 

[bennyeagle]

Anyone else see snake pull up lame after that last play in the first half? Makes me nervous....will he come out in the second!

 

[niccipops]

3 disallowed tries. What BS!

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

What was graham bitching about to the ref? I'm watching in the gym with no sound

Wade's idea of dressing up is a matching pair of thongs, with double plugs.

 

[Shoe1]

Parcell didn't score a first grade try for Brisbane

We need to bet on this, you owe me a beer if you come over east for a game @HoldenV8

 

[Cliffymagic]

We should have 3 tries. But have been robbed. We been the better team too.

 

[HoldenV8]

All records I have seen have said that tonight was Parcell's first NRL try.

Even Fox had it up that it was his first NRL try.

 

[Killer03]

The most telling thing for me is in defence we are hitting and hitting hard. Brett Stewart's involvement is fantastic, even on the tv you can see him talking and directing. Tom T seems to be putting his body on the line a lot, and wanting to get involved, and I just loved when he tackled Luke Lewis you saw Brett Stewart belting him on the head and just yelling great encouragement.

Nate Myles has been a lot better, especially in defence. Parcell....well he's a ball tearer. I just love him.

Jamie seems stung by last week and is leading by example. DCE would have made 30 tackles, and whilst he screwed that kick, his involvement has been A1. And this is due in no small part to the involvement of Brett Stewart.

Tom Symonds....needs to be in first grade.

This game is there to win, and Feleti will be the one.

You lose unless you count the nines

 

[eggson]

I'm feeling good, we've crossed the line multiple times. They scored off a fumbled kick. Our defence is stinging the opposition again. Looks like Manly.

Few weeks for Marty i'd say, Buhrer back in. T Red going great guns

 

[torana355]

I will say one thing, Dylan Walker is a bloody good player, if he can improve in the number 6 he could end up being a very good half.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Looks like Leary will be back next week, replacing Kapow who will be gone for two weeks for that !!

 

[swoop]

Did Bozo tell Barrett to make the changes?

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Sharks have had 10% more possession than us but only
50 more running metres.

Commentators have touched on a brilliant point. We are handling the Sharks offloads really well. They've made 9 to 2 but have never looked close to scoring. Their only try has come off a fumble by us.

 

[Killer03]

The other thing is our energy. The first 2 weeks if we hadn't touched the ball for the first 10mins we would be absolutely out on our feet throughout the whole half and concede 30. Not tonight. Tonight reminded me of the Manly defence and attitude of old.

 

[Loobs]

Vave can probably drop off too from this team. He's just too slow to wind up.
