Game Day: Storm v Manly [Round 19, 2019]

[double hoops]

I hope we learn one thing from that game. Practice field goal set up - repeat.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

The Eagles / Drizzle games are always great, they hate each other!!

Never ever fails to deliver

I hope we learn one thing from that game. Practice field goal set up - repeat.

Our main problem was the undirected offloads.

Great to off load but we did so to an adjacent player and they were immediately hit or the Ref called knock on 😕

WIPP - work in progress Premiers

C’mon Eagles, give me a memorable 50th b’day pressie

One of the best games ever. I am over the moon for all the boys, they deserve all the praise they receive. All those so called experts that gave us no chance would be eating their words right now. A big mention to Boyle, walker and Suli, they have been under a great deal of criticism of late, and it just goes to show we need to have a little patience they will come good.

Honestly, Boyle took me by surprise tonight and congratulations to him for his performance, I hope he continues to improve under Des. I would never change being a Sea Eagle supporter for anything, through the good, bad, or ugly. Well done boys you all made yourselves proud.

Great game from Boyle, good to see him getting an early opportunity

 

[frank stokes]

AWESOME game... stoked for the team, ESPECIALLY after we lost that game 14-13 last year on the back of a SH*T penalty decision...

Get in son...

Is it a tactic from us to help the Storm players off the deck? Saw us doing a lot more of it than in other games in the last couple of weeks. Makes me wonder if we were seeing if it gets them out of their mindset.

who was complaining about all the forwards passes being called....

top stuff boyzzz

What about Dessie hey?

It demonstrates to the Refs how slow they are

Heard the Refs call them out on it, but still didn't gift us a penalty at the time 😎

I wonder what Barrett is up to tonight.....

I’ve been biting my tongue, but Barrett and those miserable years have been playing through my mind. I am so happy to see a team on the park that plays and represents what Manly means to me and has so for decades.

 

[ALinda]

Would love to know was Des said to the boys after the game, before the team song. They were listening to him say a few words then erupted in laughter. Maybe @HappilyManly knows...

 

[CoreyWaddellSuperFan]

Holy ****. Just back to the hotel and what a game! Each and every one of those boys never stopped trying. We have a special team here thanks to Dessie.
And I cannot tell you how welcome that win was having had to listen to that ****ing cowbell ALL game.
And how wonderful that the whole team came over to the Manly supporters bay after such an energy sapping epic.
Brilliant!!!!

 

[QueefRichards]

A great win. Still a long way to go as i want to be sure it doesn't come down to a field goal when we eliminate Melbourne from finals footy

"Great stuff mate! I am a long time Manly hater, and this is my favourite Manly team ever. Incredibly gutsy tonight. Game of the year for mine! Genuine contenders!"

[QueefRichards]

Need to improve in a lot of areas as I think we have the potential to knock Melbourne out of finals footy by more than one try

 

[Cioran]

I suspect being a Sea Eagle supported is some sort of terminal psychiatric condition but I don’t care. What a great night.

 

[Jabuh]

Dunno if anyone noticed, but Cherry was choking back tears in his post game interview. Nice to see that passion! Go the Mighty Sea Eagles!!!
