Game Day: Chooks v Manly [Round 2, 2020]

[Mark from Brisbane]

Interesting. He's been one of our best today.

HIA and failed

Very happy to be wrong.. thought we would lose a tight one for sure.. happy with the result, although still stand by my concern for our attack.. managed 1 try in 160 minutes of footy.. defence is unbelievable tho

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Yeah, first time down there all half. Would of loved to have tried our hand.

Same happened in the 1sr half.. and last week against the storm. Very lucky win today. Turbo saved a few tries!

 

[swoop]

Tommy turbo saved at least 3 tries MOM

 

[Ryan]

Hope that lifted everyone’s spirit... A Manly blessing built on the back of incredible defence.

You wouldn't believe mate. So good for the soul Thank you Manly, love this team.

Ok so Roosters field goal attempt. Hits post back to Manly aren't all the Roosters players that were in front of Cleary offside? Or is it deemed a free for all after it hits the post.

Our attack is looking terrible but we have played two of the better sides in the comp back to back. We won that even with 300 fewer running metres and a laughably lopsided penalty count.

Great defense though!

 

[joeboy]

Dogged win, which is the only way you can get a win against the roosters. Defence is A1

Plenty to work on and if we keep making it that hard for ourselves we won’t always be able to get if Jail like that

I still have no idea what is happening with our kicking game

No one hates cherry, but surely even his biggest loyalists can see how he is playing and how off he seems ?

The premiers are zero and twosters.

Gutsy win by the boys.

 

[Ryan]

@The Wheel , you did us all proud mate Kudos to you, and your lovely family, my friend.

 

[eagleron]

Well Done Boys

Regardless of how we got there im proud of the boys, our defence was fantastic especially Tom, without him ar the back we would have gone down by at least 12, I'm stoked

Not a “ triggered” Boomer tonight just a happy one , #ManlyForever

true, though we have played 2 of the top defensive sides.

 

[dowdz]

Woohoo. I may have to tip against more often lol.

Attack is something which improves as the season progresses. Trent Robinson has won the last two by ensuring the defence was finals standard from the get go.

Awesome Ryan.

 

[Ryan]

true, though we have played 2 of the top defensive sides.

And in total have had only 2 total tries scored against us without kicks. Shows the cement wall is back under Dessie 🙂

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Thought we were well and truly gone the way we started that second half, but some incredible defence by Tommy kept us in it against all statistical odds and somehow we worked our way back into it. Even better effort when you consider we lost Keppie early and Scorpio later on. Really happy for the win.

 

[court83]

I agree.. I know we have had a hard draw, and im stoked with how we've been ultra competitive against the top 2 sides... I just worry about where our points will come from over the season... next week will be a good indicator... warriors arnt much chop, we should atleast put 4-5 tries on them

Until next week stay safe guys.🙂
