Game Day: Chooks V Manly [Finals Week 2, 2024]

[davohan123]

Gone how I thought it would the game.
Just don’t see a top 4 side in this squad
I just can’t see how we will win a title with DCE, turbo and Jake.
We have a lot to work to do on this off season

Ola having a game
Turbo looks less restricted this week
I will watch our last 40:minutes of the season.

How JWH stayed on the field for that elbow I will never know

Great turn out from our fans just s shame we are putting in this performance.

We were always outsiders.

But add to that 42% of possession and the score isn't really a surprise.

 

[wombatgc]

Forget the legs tackles. They are offloading at will. If we are going to get beat, then at least hand out some Ola defence. Smash the bastards .

 

[HK_Eagle]

What to do about our game moving forward. Is there anything more infuriating for us fans (and I’m talking about all fans of all teams) than inconsistency. Why do we have changes to the way games are officiating? If we agree that it’s better to turn a blind eye to borderline discretions to let the game flow, then rule that way for EVERY FKING GAME AND EVERY FKING TEAM.

 

[mickqld]

I think he’s been better than last week but hasn’t had much chance. If we could get a bit of field position we might have been in it.

We won't get field position while fukwit turns a blind eye to everything they're doing that,we're getting penalised for.

 

[HoldenV8]

You don't seriously think this team can challenge the Riff or Scum do you ?

Seriously. A top 6 side is all we are right now.

Our defence needs to return to the Pepsi days if we're going to challenge for the GF.

And with the team we have now and the squad we'll have in 2025 ...on our best day we're not even close to being as in the same ballpark of those days.

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

Put the crack pipe away mate. 5th highest scored in the NRL this year.

Big deal he cant read the game as a centre cant defend as a centre , doesnt know when to pass or run the ball as a centre … oh but hes got 5th overall in points scored hahaha that comment alone is methed up braaaaa

 

[Kalvin]

Need paseka & lodge back out there asap

 

[Scorpio]

If he ever plays centre again I won’t support Manly (after 45 years).

Hyperbole much?

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

He's been our best at the moment. A no.7 shouldn't have made over 20 tackles after 30 min. Yes bad miss but other than that he's been pretty good I think. TRY time.

Yeah, I thought Cherry had been excellent defensively on his usual side, apart from a couple of "rushing out of the line" moments that didn't cost us. No idea why we decided to mess with the defensive line and swap him with Brooks. As soon as we did, he got isolated.

 

[Simonmyers11]

We are not out of it, just need to ref to stop allowing Roosters to lie all over the ruck. Manly has always looked dangerous when they can get a roll on in the middle, which allows DCE and Brooks to use their running game and Tom comes into his own, there were times we were busting out guts trying to make inroads and the roosters were allowed to make second efforts, which kept us pinned down.

The only way to get back into this is with some more possession and field territory

 

[HK_Eagle]

Hoping for an almighty comeback. Optimistic, I know

 

[Eagle thru 'n' thru]

My son says Radley looks like a rooster.

Forget the legs tackles. They are offloading at will. If we are going to get beat, then at least hand out some Ola defence. Smash the bastards .

Lather, rinse and repeat. Unfortunately all season long we never learned from the early season Parramatta game where their offloading killed us.

We lose last week without him.. FMD.. Memory like a gold fish.

 

[Hibyemama]

Roosters 57% possession. we have no ball. plus, manly dont have second phase play like the chooks. Roosters offloads are killing us. Too much defending for manly. happy to be in 2nd week. the top 4 are top 4 for a reason. its the same every year. top 4 end s up in pre-lim.

 

[Kalvin]

Fark you Aloiai- peanut

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

Mistaken riddled soft team !!!

 

[bob dylan]

Wasted challenge.

 

[HoldenV8]

FMD.....seriously????
