Game Day: Manly v Raiders [Round 17, 2021]

[Mitch]

To be honest with that much possession, to only be down by 8, it’s a reasonable result.

Have to get more than an even share of the ball in the second half.

 

[The better Robbo]

A couple of very poor defensive efforts!!! However, Sipley misses a tackle that leads to a try and no mention of it on here, just an honest mistake cos he was gassed.
Gosiewski misses a tackle and he's the worst player in history....
Just saying

 

[manlyfan76]

are your eyes working? it was Toff that missed him that time.

Dummy half used to be the markers responsibility

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Sipley miss n Starling disappointing as no lateral movement . Jests miss was terrible. Defence looking fragile.

 

[The Royal Soup]

You need to put on the white gloves and chill out in the temple. Sit down on that black and white checkered floor, worship the two pillars, and breathe.

Mate how them two are in this side are beyond me!!

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

These are the games we are really missing jakes defence around the ruck. They are killing us there now. We are stuck in the mud around the ruck

very disappointed in the poor back row performances, all missing in action....wtf

 

[swoop]

WTF would you pick a player who's been out of the team for months when you have a fresh player in Burbo.

 

[wombatgc]

Jetski is still a turnstyle!!!

I think I made my thoughts on his selection over Burbo crystal. But it gives me no joy. And it’s not just JetSki in the middle. Our line speed in the middle is garbage by others as well. Really missing DCE cleaning up in defence when we’re gassed.

 

[Class of 96]

Stay calm. They had all the ball in the last 20.

 

[XV-1]

Joke of a Half!!!

idiot decision Des!!!

jetski is an absolute pile of ****

Suli garbage!!!

Can't wait til Sirro comes back and joins these 2 clowns in first grade!!

.Des should not be picking first grade, Silvertails should be!!

 

[Simonmyers11]

Going to be hard to come back. We have done so much extra tackling.

 

[NYEagle]

BTW you know Manly are playing when they are constantly talking about a dead rubber Origin game.

Ive muted my TV right away, sick of hearing about that stupid Origin series!

I think Go’s was lazy out of marker and that didn’t help the big boy

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Why are watching MFB, you know the rules

Yeah I know , I’ve ****ed up badly

 

[AlxFromNthNarra]

The attack is not great. One-out most of the opportunities we have and the Raiders are up to it.

Def is being affected by possession. Given how lopsided it was in the 20-40min period, only 8 down is surprising.

Need to have one of those 2nd halves like we know we can, and hope the Canberra Faders do their thing.

 

[Kalvin]

Hopefully the home crowd will get us home in the second half

 

[Simonmyers11]

Only way if we can get some go forward in the middle. Marty and Paeska need to get us on the front foot and hopefully refs gives us some 6 to go. If we can get some possession their D is soft, just need to find a way to control ball possession better!!

 

[The Indian]

Was going to post about how "good" it is to see Jetski and Suli back but was beaten to the punch by like everyone.

Jeez that pair are awful.

In one half we look just like the team that started the year with those two.

 

[Ryan]

I hope there's no complacency after winning contracts ?

 

[mave]

The while half turned on Sulis dropped ball.

This is where we are at in 2021 V’landysball.

Momentum is just too hard to swing.
