Non-Manly Games [Round 3, 2019]

[Ranga]

Is he any worse than FTA viewers having to now put up with Thurston, Slater and Thaiday on Nein?

I didn’t realise what FTA watchers are being subjected to and I assume Lockyer is still there too (I can’t watch 9 being o/s)! Man, give me Bedsy any day - even Knights v Manly - over 9’s lineup.

No, you're kidding me. What a trifecta of dribblers, throw in Hodges as sideline eye and you would have possibly the worst ever commentary team the game has seen.

 

[ALinda]

Incase you all didnt know the rorters have a huge injury list ok i repeat lots of injuries if u havent heard it enough in the last two games i thought id just put it out there again for yall

Lol

 

[wombatgc]

. The smaller Easts winger (don't know his name) was dominated.
.

You won’t be seeing him again in first grade....that was a Steve Mavin-like performance.

I wish I could say I was kidding, but sadly not.

Do they are playing their on salary cap team?

I like to imagine the power brokers of the roosters and NRL having a drink and them all laughing and saying "at least try and make it look honest guys"

 

[HoldenV8]

I watched the first half on Nine tonight. You have my deepest sympathies. (Thurston WTF, someone take the clothes pegs off his nose!)

As bad as it is, I will say that at least Slater can string a coherent sentence together, something Darren Lockyer still hasn't been able to do.

Thurston meanwhile has proved that "uh" is now the most used word in the English language.

 

[BOZO]

Worse then us, we only copped 26 last week

And unlike us they had their full complementary roster

 

[Class of 96]

Having a look for comparison, there would appear to be more spectators at the SCG for the Swans vs Crows than there is at ANZ.

Geez V8, you’re being far too kind there. AFL blows away the NRL each and every time. And it’s not a pithy throw away line, they just get the fans and just do it right!

God god, please don’t mention that to the fatalists, it will be like attracting Pauline statements that Port Arthur never happened, and guns are so nice!

 

[HoldenV8]

Geez V8, you’re being far too kind there. ARL blows away the NRL each and every time. And it’s not a pithy throw away line, they just get the fans and just do it right!

Official attendance at the SCG was 32,575 (67% of the grounds capacity). There were only 13,367 at ANZ (16%).

And what you have to remember is that other than when playing GWS, the Swans opponents when playing at home are all interstate based teams.

SPOT.ON mate!

 

[HoldenV8]

The reigning premiers up against the ladder leaders could only draw 13,367 on a dry Friday night.

And yet both are getting brand new stadiums......

 

[ManEagle]

Hate to say it to the death riders but i need some clarificatiom on their analysis ...when they said the roosters put the cue in the rack for the last 20 last week against us . I suppose the roosters plan this week was to pull the cue out for the last 20 ?

 

[wombatgc]

I just watched the Rolling Stones in Cuba doco.
Worth a watch.

Nice one @manlyfan76
.......so much for my early night.

 

[ricardo]

I noticed the poor Roosters had a couple injuries last night, I hope they get some salary cap relief to help deal with this !!

 

[Ryan]

Wow you really have lost the plot lately.

I doubt the dogs will get any wins at this rate

You watch their first 20 last week mate?

 

[Ryan]

Hey Ryan, out of interest, do you think we will be better when we welcome Walker (or player of his value), Paseka and Turbo back this week?

Do you think that a dry track Dragons team is different to a wet one? Maybe a little more free flowing with the footy etc.

I find it hard to gauge where Manly is at because we haven't played on a dry track just yet but would I be right in saying you don't think the wet/dry track makes a difference?

On paper, right now, our backline is terrible. Dry or wet. I can't even sugar coat it.

You watch their last 20?

Oh. I didn't know you felt this way. Please tell me more.
