Post-Game Discussion Cowboys v Manly [Round 25, 2021]

[HoldenV8]

The one thing above all that I am waiting for out of this game is the Telstra Tracker.

How fast did Saab run chasing both Hammer and Taulagi???

Did he beat his 38 km/h best? Did he beat Addo-Carr's 38.5 of 2019 and 38.1 earlier this year???

Great win by the boys. Lifted whenever pressed, never panicked, no injuries - onwards and upwards.

 

[Ryan]

The usual petulant tantrums from the usual culprits. Lots of insults toward the the players and coach. Then adulation five minutes later.

Des will be looking at the positives and negatives too mate. That's two weeks in a row where we seemed lethargic to begin (against the 15th, and 16th placed teams), but had too much quality and class for the opposition. It's something that needs to be arrested and addressed, especially considering the opposition we are about to face.

Did you not think Olakau'atu seemed flat the last two weeks? That Schuster seemed less intense? That Harper isn't running those high speed insizing runs he used to?

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

You said a few other things as well.

Yeah I ride my emotions fairly strongly.

Saab wasn’t rushing just took it in his stride..
Hammer.. pftt.

For sure. I wasn't referring to you old mate. Just the d1ckheads sitting on the couch who called our players Fcuk wits and the like when we were behind by six points with 75 minutes to go. The hissing cats, in other words.

If not for the piss poor attempt at tackling him, he had him. He had Hammer easily for pace. Gave him 10 start and was on him 50 metres later.

What a super special last 15 mins of the game. I'm out of superlatives!

I thought the humidity played a significant part with our handling and errors, particularly the first half, and we can't afford the below par completions in the finals. The Cowboys were up for much of that game, which made it tense but exciting to watch, and ultimately ended in an absolute thriller.

Very well done and woohoo, we're in the top 4 - Go Manly!

Brandy was wishing he was out. Fark he's a bias prick against us.

He’s a complete beginner compared to Voss who death rode us for 60 minutes.

Only 60?

Voss has been death riding Manly since the early 90s.

 

[Kevinward777]

Yeah I ride my emotions fairly strongly.

Yeah, that's why - like me - you'll only ever be a fan.

Well 60 minutes of tonight’s game, he’s so obvious that he hates us.

It’s got worse recently...
I don’t use fox or kayo if the game is on nine. Can’t stand the goon.

 

[Freagle]

A couple of ‘special mentions’ that may go relatively unnoticed in the hype…

Foran was putting in way more than most of the rest of the team for the whole game. Attack and defence. Played above his weight, backed up everything, 110% effort.

Keppie - was massive up the middle in attack and defence. Hit hard, drove players back, pushed through the line every single time.

Yeah, i moved to Fox/Kayo to get away from Rabbits “i get every second player’s name wrong” Warren… now I just hit mute when Voss gets too much, which is frequently.

Mate, it's footy. The Cows had a real dig, the field was atrocious, and it was humid as hell. It's not like we were playing an SG Ball side.

The cowboys had a dig because we let them have one - there is a difference. You can make excuses if you like but that first half was very poor, and won’t cut it in the finals, I get worried manly think they can just flip a switch, the finals wont be like that and if we continue to play how we have been we will be cannon fodder against the better teams, I thought it was an opportunity missed to just play some high percentage footy and not miss tackles

I’m glad we won and it was great to watch, but it didn’t fill me with hope that we are ready for next week

What happened? I missed the gameday thread.

The usual.

Also they played on moss, not grass
