Manly v Titans [Round 23 2014]

[HK_Eagle]

And to ice off a royal bending over this half, one player runs over half the field sideways and carves through untouched.

 

[bob dylan]

What a great try.

 

[HoldenV8]

Look, it was a good try by Roberts, but how did Bird not get penalised for passing after the ref called held when at the other end we get penalised for playing the dam ball?

This is a carve up.

Im going to refrain from posting as i don't want to post something i may regret.

 

[bob dylan]

How come we hardly ever put a team to the sword? We always play in close matches and make things hard for ourselves.

Roosters were lucky to beat Titans last week.

This is a good Gold Coast team make no mistake.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

What an absolute disgrace of a half that was from Horsehead and his mate

 

[Scorpio]

Two marginal calls that went against Manly on both try lines, not too impressed.

Seriously that hasn't been a penalty all year.

Yeah i know but its not just this game, we do it all the time, it bloody stressful lol

 

[FlyingHigh]

I still cant get over them turning down Killer's try. That's a f****** disgrace.

 

[Jerry1]

This is second grade stuff.
We won't beat any top eight team playing like this.

Hope tooves puts them straight.

Yep, this.

How can you even think of calling that a penalty when all year they've made it the policy to ask blokes to go back and play it. Absolutely baffling where that decision came from.

 

[HappilyManly]

Focus Manly, the game is yours if you leave your egos at the door.

Arguing with Horsehead will get you nowhere !
Fighting Bird will get you nowhere!

Play the RHS - Killer is ready to defend his honour.
His being put on report must be on level with attacking a ballboy

 

[Captain Moondog]

Fair dinkum, Horsehead needs a good kick up the arse. Worst refereeing I've seen since the GF.

 

[HoldenV8]

My point is that all the 50/50 calls have so far gone to the Titans.

How do you get penalised for playing the ball? Lewis was right, that should have been play on. Consider Friday night when a Parramatta player wasn't tackled yet was called to play the ball - its extremely inconsistent. To penalise for that shows that Maxwell for the second week in a row is looking to penalise us for whatever he can.

Killer scored, no doubt.

Roberts pass to Don with about 7 mins left went half a metre forward, yet after the ball went out the Titans got the scrum feed.

At the very least it should be 12-0 our way. If Killer had been awarded the try as he should have been then Roberts wouldn't have been in a position to score.

Don't give up...We were the same last night and i was spitting chips but then we came through. The segulls are spreading the ball well and if they keep that up and make the ti-ts run, they can get over them.

 

[Ralphie]

I'm not normally into making predictions but I have feeling we will lap them.
Manly by plenty+.

I hope you're right, but there has been signs for a while now that all is not yet clicking for us. We may well have won four in a row before last weekend but they were ugly wins mostly and we have not been playing well at all and didn't play well last weekend.

With four rounds left it's time to click and step it up a gear or two. If we can do that we look the goods, but I have considerable doubts and I think Sunday afternoon will be a turning point in our season.

As I said, this is a turning point in our season and not a good one.

I'm just going to come out and say it, we are playing like crap and I think the internal problems are now biting.

The refereeing is poor, but we are a whole lot poorer.

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

Maxwell would have penalized Foran if he got up and played it

 

[Jerry1]

Not worried about winning this - more worried about beating any quality opposition. These guys are chumps. We will limp past them to win no problem.
