Game Day: Manly v Storm [Round 24, 2019]

[wombatgc]

Have we ever scored a point with API on the field
Not sure why we keep playing him for 30 min at the start. Surely better to use him depending on state of match
We can’t keep giving team starts in big games. I know he’s on big money but fair dinkum it’s so obvious he needs to be used after Fainu sets the scene

Our attack is so stilted until he comes on

Put Jake over next to the sticks last week.

Turbo’s injury sounds like a strain rather than a rupture... Fox saying we’re gone... Finch wiping Scam’s salty cream from his chn.

I dont care turbo gone for the season
We were never going to win it this year just a few players short
To the game storm had all the ball, we score first this half anything goes!!
Never give in

Get ya poncho on and get out on the hill. Nice and toasty in my lounge..

They're not controlling that fwit Smith. Letting him run. He needs to be stopped in his tracks. Also the storm are running about 50 decoys each play as well as running behind their own players and not getting penalised???
The reason Tom is injured too is because the tackler put Tom's arm in a seriously dodgy position.
Dropped balls haven't helped us.
Being totally outclassed but the strong finish to the half was encouraging.
Dig in Manly.

 

[Kevinward777]

Aaaand Cooper got a poke in the eye as per Trent plastic face Robinson.... but he can play with a busted shoulder.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Yeah, Paseka and Jorge have been good. Really, the team has done damn well to hang in there and stay in the match. Very little went our way that half. If we can hang onto the ball and make the Drizzle tackle, we’ll do all right.

Put Jake over next to the sticks last week.

Our attack is hopeless with him on in general
Fainu gets the ruck rolling
If APIs strong suit is defence then use him when needed. We need to come out of the boxes in big games Not just hang in

 

[NFN2IT]

Im praying it's only a strain 2-4 weeks but looking at replays it doesn't look good... I'm no doctor though so fingers crossed Turbo is good. We won't be able to go all the way without him

 

[The Royal Soup]

Put Jake over next to the sticks last week.

We had both hookers on at that time tho

 

[XV-1]

I don't mind losing if its a competitive match, losing Tom for the season is devastating!

Thompson and now Tommy, such bad luck

If Suli had actually tackled the 2nd rower, than thin air. Tom would not have had to attempt the tackle that did his peck.

 

[HappilyManly]

Win it Manly, you can do it

 

[Go manly]

Hope the players don’t give up as easy as many on here

Everything against us so far and only 12 behind

It was the same posters last week at the same time against Canberra who gave us no chance

Try and cheer and not jeer

Cmon champs
You can do it

Just answering your question.

 

[Cliffymagic]

Storm playing with finals intensity and we are just clinging on. That hit by Jorge on munster gotta be the best ever.

 

[robbiea]

We won games with Elliott at FB ,We can do it again .
Put the nooses away ,this isnt the 2018 team.
We might not win this game but we can beat Parra with Elliott next week and build from there.
Come on boys !!!!!!

Looked worse than that live here!!

 

[court83]

Truth be told, I'm leading my tipping comp by 2 games and tipped storm tonight, so a loss here doesn't bother me.. I want them to keep it competative and play their best til the death tho.. But if toms gone for the Year, they may aswell book mad Monday unfortunately

 

[simon64]

How long do you need to lay on the tackled player before you get penalised ?

The rule says IMMEDIATELY. I don't expect immediately, but why are they allowed to have a kip before rolling off ?

Refs are softco***. Toughen up you mongrels and referee the game.
