Game Day: Storm v Manly [Round 17, 2023]

[Wombat64]

IM sorry but Woods gives us nothing

Laughs?

My 6 year old came home at 5 and decided that we were all going. Made it into the ground for kick off
We started solid but the forward rotation took all the wind out of our sails.
Its been sunny but cold all day but there was a big but short downpour around 4pm. So the ground is probably more slippery than it looks. Which I think is why there we are leaving a LOT of space on the wings. Especially Vaega's
The crowd isn't great and theres probably 1/3 of the manly fans there usually is. Storm fans are yelling for penalties at literally anything and it feels like the ref is listening to it

You could argue being down 4 by the storm away at the half with a patchwork team is showing all of that.

nope, storm have been pathetic, floodgates about to open when bellamy fires them up at the half mate

 

[HK_Eagle]

He wasn’t alone. I don’t think his missed tackle on oats was Anywhere near as bad as bully and co who flailed there arms at him. At least ola was chasing. Agree he should’ve done better cleaning that kick up. Least he was there trying though.

Bully was caught out bcos he wasn’t expecting Ola to miss like that. Just as bad from him not to be ready, but Ola should have **** Oates down. Remember, it was Ola who also dropped the ball cold when we last had momentum and attacking. I know he’s loved on here, but gotta call a spade a spade. Some garbage play from him

Schu doesn’t have Turbo calling the plays

 

[LeonardCohen]

I’m personally not unhappy with the attack, it’s the errors and offloads that are the problem.

 

[The '47ers]

Did I see bob with a storm scarf on…

You certainly did

Time in Reggie’s at another club.

I read Newtown Jets are mounting a bid back into 1st Grade.
He would be a big hit with their supporter base.

 

[Volley]

Harper the fuk witt dud gives away 6 again on the 5th tackle

fuk off back to nsw cup where you belong

If you’re going to have a troll, at least make it somewhat believable. Harper’s been great.

Bully was caught out bcos he wasn’t expecting Ola to miss like that. Just as bad from him not to be ready, but Ola should have **** Oates down. Remember, it was Ola who also dropped the ball cold when we last had momentum and attacking. I know he’s lived on here, but gotta call a spade a spade. Some garbage play from him

Was it Bully, or Condon?

 

[Wombat64]

nope, storm have been pathetic, floodgates about to open when bellamy fires them up at the half mate

Master coach will save us.

 

[HK_Eagle]

I thought schu played well in the first 20 but was gassed in the second it appears fitness is still an issue.

The guy is grossly over-rated on the back of some pretty high quality passing and deception. Too bad we can’t give him Garrick’s heart. He is Tin Man

 

[danny-boy]

The ref is dead set kidding himself but good teams rise above that ****.

The attitude is there just been a bit unlucky. There’s been 2 tries from kicks and an arsey try. Still anybody’s game.

 

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

Woods has suprised me.

Ineffective running, but got an offload away, and seemed to make plenty of tackles

Woods has performed beyond what his value is. He's having a crack, not much more you can ask of him.

 

[davohan123]

We are in this but our attack is DCE or nothing
We look very one paced.
We are trying but look very slow.
Storm are there for the taking but do we want it.
Shoe Man not a factor.

 

[Rackets]

thanks mate i’ll take your amazing advice on board

You definitely should and take your comments with you. Poor excuse for a supporter. No one wants you here

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Reuben Garrick may well be my favourite Manly player these days. Gives it everything he's got no matter where you play him. Some great cover defence in that first half and furious effort: he wants to be there and he wants to win.

As for the rest of the team, good to see them put in 20 minutes of solid footy before the mistakes started to creep in. That's 18 more minutes of effort than they put in last week already!

But it's still disappointing to watch them start strongly against a very lackadaisical Storm team and then basically invite them back into the game.

 

[Wombat64]

You certainly did

But he looked like he's been on the crack pipe first though

 

[eagleron]

Did I see bob with a storm scarf on…

His talent reflects his taste

 

[HK_Eagle]

Was it Bully, or Condon?

Not sure. On the first reply I thought it was Bully.
