Game Day: Bulldogs V Manly [Round 21, 2025]

[Uk eagle]

How can a team carry spuds like Salmon, Mahoney, Hughes and King be so dominant.

Well coached Id suggest.

(we have more spuds x2)

Penrith have won countless premierships carrying a few average players in each team. They just do the job asked of them

 

[eaglebuzz]

game reminds me of last years semi against the roosters. just not good enough.

Yeah it's a sign of what would happen if we made the finals. Just outclassed across the park. Even our "good" players are having absolute Barry Crockers.

Here's hoping for some astute recruitment for 2026. Best of luck to the Dogs and Raiders. I really hope the Storm don't win this year.

Make the right call
Was tempted to go out today to the sfs but had a feeling this would happen
Going to be a Long rest of the match

 

[bob dylan]

Why is that a penalty?

 

[Rackets]

Xeri cops 2 boots to the head deemed cat 2. Simpkins cops 1 elbow to the head and deemed cat 1. What am I missing?

Very disappointing game after such a good win away. Had a feeling this one wouldn’t be close, and a coin toss as to who would run away with it.

Different doctors, different interpretations.

 

[God]

Ill give lodge this he's on crap money and at least he's committed

 

[Eagledare2dream]

Shocking TT SHOCKING, hope a fight starts to calm me down a bit, give him some Lodge please

 

[bob dylan]

Koula having a shocker, both of our centres are being giving a lesson.

 

[Peter C]

Hate to say this but Lehi is too light and slow, just not dynamic enough, we lack so much punch with him back there

 

[Brookie1973]

Too much arm grabbing in defense. There are going to be a few embarrassed Manly players at the Monday review session.

Maybe there wasn’t time in the 7 minute sessions to cover defense.

 

[danny-boy]

man when things go wrong for us they really go wrong.

 

[God]

I hope this toms season done

 

[HoldenV8]

Ill give lodge this he's on crap money and at least he's committed

And he's not even fit TBF.

Says a lot about the rest of our forwards doesn't it, that the bargain player who isn't really fit enough right now has been easily our best forward today.

Critta magic
This is a great redemption

Beating a 9th placed side means little. Manly never up for 2 hard games in a row. The only one surprised by a flogging is probably Siebold

I don’t get the jump in the air he always does before meeting the defense. They just wait for him to land and then tackle him. Completely pointless.

It does when you guys beat us last, for me anyway lol, the last 7 years ive lost it how much ive copped from my Manly mates haha

 

[Eagledare2dream]

Haven't seen TT allday, and what good will he do at fullback if he can't tackle at the line.
