Non-Manly Games [Round 11, 2016]

[Ryan]

Titans are the perfect example of why Barrett,Bozo and media can't use the excuse that injuries,new players and combinations are why Manly are struggling.Titans have half the talent but they are well coached and are playing for him

EX-actly good sir. They aren't making excuses. They are just ripping in. Are only one game better than us, but about 3 levels below us roster quality wise.

They all of a sudden look fitter, faster and more mobile this year as well. Wonder what's different on that front?

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

They all of a sudden look fitter, faster and more mobile this year as well.

Yeah, but their grooming has suffered. They used to have some of the best whiskers in the NRL. Now it looks like they don't even care. I'll take a well-kept beard over match fitness any day of the week.

 

[Nordburg]

There must be a shortage of ex players that can string a sentence together otherwise why the hell is that news limited hack Hooper part of the commentary team

Better than Walters performance last night.He ALMOST made Fittler sound intelligent

 

[HoldenV8]

How the hell don't players understand that they need to run through the defense or it's an obstruction

Then explain how (I think it was against Souffs in the 1st half) T-Red got done for obstruction when he ran a decoy straight through the Vermin defensive line and didn't stop at the line, he kept going until he was a few metres past it (and he didn't take a Souffs player out doing it). T-Red did exactly what they say a player has to do to not get called for obstruction, yet got penalised anyway. IIRC that happened when Tommy went over in the Arko Stand corner.

The calls from the refs and the bunker are so inconsistent that its becoming pot luck with obstruction calls.

The rule is that the decoy must run through the line, whether the Ref's rule on it or not. It's simple, yet some players still stop in the defensive line - inexcusable

 

[Woodsie]

I know before I even do it I will feel dirty in the morning. I also know I will dread the walk of shame as I go to bed.

But I can't help it. I will just have to overcome my gag response and root for the storm scumbags tonight.

Cheer for Cheyse Blair - Scumos all the way tonight

 

[Woodsie]

Can't imagine storm players sledging Foran, Norman and Parra tonight, can you.

 

[The Who]

Can't imagine storm players sledging Foran, Norman and Parra tonight, can you.

No. I'm sure they will simply invite them to enjoy a night at Crown Casino when the match ends.

 

[HappilyManly]

Can the Scumos help make it 12/13 for Parra

Carn Purple People- keep them scoreless

 

[Woodsie]

I feel so dirty. Go Scumo's.

 

[spantrav]

Quality forward pass for first scum "try". I think Cronk was running backwards when he threw it.

 

[HappilyManly]

Good tactic to kick early and deep by the Scumos.
Nullifies the huge Parra forwards and slows them down as they have to trot back 50 meters each time

 

[Loobs]

Blair is playing well. Running hard.

 

[Dan]

Both teams just so many players in motion and all big bodies moving. Our players are all just running one out and one body at a time, both these teams look organized in both defense and attack, compared to us we look like a bunch of people who arent communicating and moving around as individuals

 

[Loobs]

Agree, look at the body type of him, tall, physical and good under the high ball, he should be playing like this.

He played like that for us for a while then he sucked again which was very disappointing. Hope he can hold his spot though and play well.

How funny is the game though? Parra are done and it's great.

Was just lost defending on the wing. Goes better in the centres.

 

[EagleFlys]

I too feel dirty while hoping the scum storm win.

But I ****ing hate the doesntmatta scum even more now that they are the cheating filth we all new at heart.

F U EELS you can go suck down some eccys, bet a few $'s on thae tab and piss the **** off from nein your saviours. 12/13 soon you ****ing pieces of ****.

 

[HappilyManly]

Two disallowed Scumo tries, so they're in control.

Don't let Manly down SCam

 

[Pablo]

Cronk and Smith look like their best days are behind them. Still very good players and a step above the rest but just not as good as they were
