Post-Game Discussion Bulldogs v Manly [Round 16, 2021]

[davohan123]

Very proud day to be a manly supporter yes it was against a lower ranked bulldogs team who was very poor and weak players , players out but 66-0 what a win.

And the most annoying thing about it I had very good tickets and free ones to to watch this game today and covid put an end to that all.

Oh well 66-0 Our biggest ever win

TBaz enjoy Bunnings tomorrow morning followed by fantastic furniture along the way, all socially distant of course.

No jake or the 2 joshes in that team today either

 

[Highflier]

Only 66 points
I want answers

I’ve lost count was it 4 or 5 tries stolen from us the score sb 86-0

 

[Cliffymagic]

The difference now we have speed is ridiculous

Saab has been absolutely massive.this year.
Give him a line break with surrport and it's a try 95 % of the time. Bloody MASSIVE !!

 

[bob dylan]

Been looking at the ladder and i doubt the Dogs can make the 8 now.

Just saying.

 

[Highflier]

ref screwed us

He did his best

 

[Kevinward777]

Great win. We're a big show this year.

That was spectacular!! Breathtaking attacking football. What was the most pleasing thing for me was to keep the Dogs to zero.

The potency we have with the ball, ability to score from any position in the field and the patience that was shown today in building pressure was so great.

We need to put this in context that this is without a doubt the weakest Dogs team we have ever faced! They shot themselves in the foot before this game and paid a huge price on the scoreboard.

The balance in the team is so good at the moment. A mix of experience, hard workers who early in season struggled so much and have turned it around. I am the first to say that I thought that Parker, Croker etc were well out of their depth as our team was smashed in the first month.

It is incredible to think that after round 4 we were -122 points differential to now being +131. This has happened in 11 games, what a turnaround and Des who was under all sorts of pressure turned it around by showing faith in guys that most of us had written off.

Today was yet another master class from Tom who toyed with the Dogs. I remember when Tom played in the kids league and he did this to teams and to see him do as he wanted today was amazing.

It only happens because the forwards get the yards. The halves manage the game well and we have an abundance of speed out wide to finish half chances and run length of the field.

We are building nicely we have games ahead that are winnable before we face some big challenges before the finals.

Its a great side, such a shame we could not be there. I live in Parra and I would have loved to have seen that show today.

Its also ironic that on this day 27 years ago we torched the Dragons 61-0, I was there that day at Brooky and it was one of those special wins.

Now next week we will have a desperate Raiders team coming to Brooky and we dont have Tommy, DCE and possibly Jake so we will need to be at our best.

Wonderful to see what this team is capable of. We are building something quite special!

Great win but given how terrible that Dogs side was I'm disappointed we didn't score 5 or 6 more tries. Combination of trying to overcook a few plays, a bit of bad luck with disallowed tries, and the ref giving the Dogs a lot of leeway cost us what probably would have been the biggest winning margin ever in an NRL game.

Oh well, handy for the for and against at least!

 

[Pittwater Legend]

One of the most dominant performances I have ever seen our team turn in. They knew they had the points in them and simply went about pummelling the Dogs for the entire 80

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

Biggest win ever! Woot

Can anyone remember whether or not it was 3 points for a try in 1973. If it was, as i suspect, then surely the Eadie lead team's achievement 63 point win is still No 1 ?, (cant remember Bozo playing that day). in terms of tries ?

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Just confirms that Mark from Brisbane should stay away from civilisation until after the grand final.

Winner are Grinners and another 2 points for us making our way closer to the top 4 .

 

[Cioran]

We need to work on staying patient, there's still moments when we were so far in front we were trying to rush it rather than just doing what we were doing to get into that dominant position

If we maintain discipline we can really put the sword to the Bunnies

I thought we started playing silly buggers after we hit 50 but its not a bad thing that the boys wanted to have some fun. As long as they do the hard stuff first.

3 points for a try back then

Yep, three points for a try in '73.

 

[Shoe1]

Presser: manly learnt all that attack from Barrett / Des stuffed the bulldog cap.

 

[Cliffymagic]

I'm high as a kite and haven't been smoking any wacky tabacy.
Woooot!

 

[Maxim]

I think there's something just awesome about seeing players that might not be big names around the league, but instead fly under the radar, go out there and put on a performance like that - Tent, Sipley, Keppie, Parker, Garrick, Froggy, Harper, Haumole, Lawton - incredible! Not to mention the awesome performances of Turbo, DCE, Foran, etc!

Dare I say it.....as a young lad watched the 2nd half live on ABC TV......it was 28-0 at halftime.....

3 points for a try and 14 try's that day......the 70-7 is equivalent to a 84-8 scoreline in todays scoring.

Heard today that the Penrith players from that debacle still have an annual get together they call 707.......

Edit: and Bozo scored 2......have memories of Herman Hamilton strolling throught the defence like a 3/4
