    Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??

    I agree with everything but the O'Brien part....maybe he screamed some obsenities and put some fire up their backsides....but the real impact was the crowd booing them off at HT....they were always gunna come racing out the blocks and Manly were "somehow" suprised by this ambush and were on the...

    Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??

    Fair enough - I for 1 had that suspicion following the low percentage cross field kick from 5m out with Newcastle on the rack, rather than a simple pass or 2 for a try, but mine was "Iv'e seen this 3 + tries lead at HT before...we are no certainties" But tbh mate, even up at 30 at halftime, I...

    Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??

    You have some seriously good points and that low percentage kick end of 1st half with knights on the rack, had me in shock and Haumole from 5 out would have waltzed over. Still a far better 1st half in relation to running with more aggression and quicker play the balls and the defence imo, was...

    Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??

    That's pretty fair, they made us look better...but compared to the 2nd half, we played like world beaters 🤷‍♂️

    Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??

    Usually I can cop it, but this was next level....even when Manly done something half decent he was making up crap about some forward pass, lucky penalty..anything...so when they did get on top which even us Silvertails will confess due to a terrible 2nd half, he just death rode all he way off...

    Maybe worse than the Eels game ??

    Maybe...the Eels game was a nightmare, but this may just top it by a cherry. The intensity was lax and there was an almost a vibe Manly did not know how to stop the momentum and were shellshocked expecting to just play out the 2nd half at 50% and get the win, but after getting boo'd off the...

    Who abducted the team from the 1st half ??

    Well what a great 1st half....winning collissions, running with aggression and support, solid kick/chase game. :clap: Then we go to the sheds where the aliens ship was awaiting The players though looking similar, have been cloned by a rabble and the players are off to the pub. That 2nd half...

    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Iv'e seen this before....bit of momentum against and this Manly team seem to fall apart.....hoping they can get back into the grind and turn up some intensity again or Knights will bang on a few more

    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Ok Manly score first try 2nd half after 20 minutes of back n forth Arthur bomb plucked brilliantly by Willett, who beats a couple and inside to Walsh who scores Just a real positive from this game, young Walsh has a super tackling technique and ethic, made some super 1 on 1 tackles including...

    Mid-season Report Card

    Good thread 👍 I see Manly a C+....or maybe a B - Been some nice Wins along the way The biggest problem is consistency, the difference between Manlys best and worst, is far bigger than a team who would command an A rating Manlys best is maybe an A But worst is maybe a D If Manly can change...

    Manlys right edge is the way you see it, DCE and out......and they should have joy tonight, provided they can win momentum middles first to create opportunities, not just shift like the Eels game before winning the ruck

    Game Day: Knights V Manly [Round 14, 2025]

    Was thinking the recipe to winning is shutting down the forwards, to minimise the danger men Ponga and Sharpe. Then something hit me.... Don't worry about them, concentrate on our game. Turn up like the Brisbane game - we win. Turn up like the Eels game - we lose.
