Game Day: Manly v Storm [Round 7, 2017]

[The '47ers]

I'd take 16pts in a half against the Storm anyday, pity about their 30 though!

 

[susan]

Well coached structured side who are clinical versus a team with a lot of talent but no cohesion due to a struggling spine and poor structures in defence and attack.

To be only 14 down is a tribute to natural talent and little else. Find a couple of players in key positions to pull the talent together and we can compete. Until then it's going to be a wild up and down ride.

Blake green never realised hòw bad he is

 

[desreturnoftheking]

Fk yeah....only 2 tries down, after that debacle in defence.

Still in this.

dude we are finished. they will score another 4 and we will maybe get 2. I mean we can score sure buy not enough to win. The game was lost from the 1st kick off as soon as that went out I knew we were done. This isn't the manly we know and expect. This is dces manly now. New age pussies

 

[simon_eagle]

Brian Kelly good in attack. Just needs to learn how to defend and quick!

He is defending outside Green, nuff said.

 

[Ryan]

Remember when Kevin, Woodsie & others came on absolutely giving it to everyone when manly won 3 straight (after 2.5 years or absolute crap) about how half cocked everyone was for critisizing the team?

Surely this shows why all the apprehension was absolutely appropriate? Flogging after flogging now.

The people who have criticized or shown concern (like susan) were called names, abused, threattened by the likes of these people.

Surely this shows a more opened mind approach to the good AND bad is required, rather than the all is love and roses?

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Okay I'll go, 52-48 Manly

It's that sort of game isn't it??

Their defence is as bad as ours, sadly their attack is much better than ours!

 

[HappilyManly]

Brian Kelly good in attack. Just needs to learn how to defend and quick!

He and Jorge, but they know how to score

Jorge's offline tackles are great, he seems to lose it on our tryline though

Matai would be proud of that last Jorge tackle

Manly still in this

 

[pjayz]

Green is concussed. He has no idea where he is after that hit and we left him on. Conceded a try. Take him off.

Agreed, get Hastings on.

Would they be dumb enough to kick out twice from restarts

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

Take back the 12 points we gifted them and this would be 18-16.

To be honest , the Drizzle are attacking brilliantly and defending ****house.

Despite the score line it may not be over ( although I'm expecting it to be a Drizzle win regardless ),

were they the gifts from the out on full kick offs?

btw I missed both, who was kicking off

 

[brad]

Gee we miss our lyon and Matai.

 

[HappilyManly]

This game more than any other shows just how much we miss Lyon and Matai.

And Fiz, all I keep seeing is the gaping defense that he used to fill

Green must be rested ASAP

I'm sorry but no addition of players will help when we have poorly coached defense. There's enough quality players we just don't have the leadership.

Trent to Green at half time

This tells me we cannot win. I saw this. Dce and tturbo saw this but the refs and linesman were clearly told not to.

Seriously how many times can these **** calls happen before the cops get involved for fraud.

 

[Harvies elbow]

Baz losing his sh*t at halftime.....
Nothing compared to me !!!!!

 

[Killer03]

We look like we have plenty of points in us, but that left edge defence has been abominable. I just can't believe at least 2 tries we didn't even touch them.

I'm all for Hastings getting some serious game time, whether it's for Green or for Api I don't care. Hastings has plenty of mongrel......something we seem to lack a bit of.

 

[Fluffy]

**** me Walker, should have passed it for a certain try

Not a chance slater had already moved to uate and probably would have put him out. Walker made the right call.

 

[Ryan]

And Fiz, all I keep seeing is the gaping defense that he used to fill

Green must be rested ASAP

I've tried to comment on this, but just got completely abused for the suggestion. Apparently woodsie says I was clueless and have no idea, and Green is fantastic all round player.
