Non-Manly Games [Round 22, 2017]

[Fluffy]

And we stay in the 8 for another week

Never thought I'd say this, but let's hope those purple pricks put on a big score tonight

Mark did have us down in 8th last week so who knows

 

[Danly Manly]

Maybe even the Tigers can **** up the Panthers on Sunday.

Imagine that, Manly win, Drags and Panthers get beat, and all of a sudden we get a 4pt break infront of 8th & 9th with 4 games to go.

Charity shield has made my weekend

I still hate souffs

Addo-Carr with a Wolfman like try.

But I 100% agree with Gould. That should have been a penalty for Morgan being offside. BIG stuff up by the refs on that one, though the Scum did end up with the ball as they should have it was still a stuff up from Klein.

Souths always win at the SCG.

Hope we never play them there again

As do i, but I was nearly screaming when they scored to level things up with 4min to go, really stunned me that game. Special finish, although Graham Hughes stayed a little too calm. Want him to be a regular again though, a real good commentator.

Guys what exactly does yart-tastic mean?

Vermin did us a huge favour tonight!!

The worry is how fkd up are the Goons and yet they flogged us by 30. By that measurement we won't win another game this year.

They got up for us and have been flat since.
Much like us since we played Cronulla.

 

[Danly Manly]

Yeah the Dragons played **** for weeks after they flogged us the first time round as well.

 

[mickqld]

Ohhh really The Storm most penalised team in the comp. Just got penalised for laying in tackle.....EXCEPT LAST WEEK.

I'm hoping it's one of those unexplainable things, Mick. The Goons flogged us TWICE this year. Against every other team they look woeful, but for some reason we make them look like a team of superstars. Great opportunity for us this weekend.

 

[NLSeaEagle]

Actually means something.... Even if we lose we remain 2 points in front of dragons. A great lead with 4 round to go.
Win and were 4.

So yeah, means something.

You're so right!

Being IN the 8 after this weekend was critical!!

Its then all in our own hands and the last 4 games are all winnable.

Tigers
Bulldogs
Warriors
Panthers

4 teams out the 8 so if we cant beat them, we don't deserve a spot!!

 

[mave]

See Melb tonight....they may win, but look like sht so far...
It is impossible to be up all game, every game. You target big games, and Melb are now due for a let down.

If the cows get up tonight, i will be backing against them next week.

I seem to remember this happened in 2016 as well.

No doubt a Bogey team for us.

Guys what exactly does yart-tastic mean?

@Dan knows, I never understood it

Something along the line of 'labouring a point'

 

[HoldenV8]

FMD everyone who plays us lately seems to play their GF then go into a funk. Penrith, St Merge and tonight even the Scum have been a mistake-a-thon.

The storm are breakable 100%. If a side can play the ball quick and run straight through their middle they play just like this. Cowboys are in with a chance, their style suits beating Melbourne (as does ours at times).

The one thing I've hated about us this year is the lack of struggle in the play the ball from our guys. Sure we are a good attacking side, the best with help of second-phase, so why don't we add an extra element of danger with more quick play the balls and more urgency with the ball. We show it sometimes although when down on momentum we just don't struggle in the play the ball, one of the keys to win back momentum is speed through the middle generated from these quick play the balls
