Game Day: Dragons v Manly [Round 19, 2022]

[Brisbane Tragic]

We are still a HUGE chance here. Our defence has been solid but without Jake. Croker, Davey.. there is no linespeed and we are waiting. The Dragqueens have nothing just those kicks and repeat sets... helped by the terrible refereeing and woeful blind eye to all the forward passes. We are doing ok. We just need some ball and we will still win this!

 

[HoldenV8]

So far the penalty / set restart count is as follows:

Set restarts: Dragons 3, Manly 1
Penalties: Dragons 5, Manly 2

 

[Karshy]

4-1 set restarts to dragons
5--2 penalties dragons lead

14-3 tackled in opposition 20 dragons

Possesion 58%-42% dragons leading

Territory 60-40 dragons

You can not be winning footy games with those statistics.

We haven't fired a shot all night

As I said earlier on in the night this next 40 minutes for me defines our season.

Dragons could really put on a score if we are not careful.

mate you say the next 40 minutes defines our season every week (edit from year to week)
the next 40 minutes determines wether we get 2 points or not, our final result at the end of the year defines the season

Funny it's like gee is Reffing 2 different games one when dragons have the ball and us nothing not giving us a look in.

Yes, someone should remind him that he is meant to ref both sides (or at least make it look like he is)...

 

[Son of Manly Beach]

what in the actual **** was that from Gee, 7 restarts/penalties in the first 15 minutes
absolute farce

He’s the biggest cocksucker in the business. And that’s saying something when you’ve got Cummins around too

 

[wombatgc]

Garrick is the only one who runs with purpose.

Garrick earned at least 3 set restarts …get none. That fat fk Laurie nearly went to sleep laying on him.

 

[Chunkytuna]

Well, I dont think we are playing awfully but need to tidy up our discipline and get some ball.

Very important we score 1st

Don’t know what game you’re watching but from where I’m sitting we are TERRIBLE. No use blaming refs, we’ve been woeful. DCE has been AWOL - kicking has been CRAP. How about kicking to a ****in corner and chasing??? Guess what, that’s what they’re doing to us!!

there was one tackle on Harper towards the end where they were all over him for 10s+ and couldnt get a restart, absolute joke

Yes, someone should remind him that he is meant to ref both sides (or at least make it look like he is)...

You can see why Smith ( cheese) said what he said to Adam gee he doesn't give both sides a fair go.

I don't agree you never call a ref what he did call him but I have been reminded again tonight gee is another one who hates us.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

One-sided refereeing is killing us, but it hasn't helped that whenever we have got a sniff of getting ourselves into the game we've come up with a mistake.

I think Walks is trying hard at hooker but have to give a shout out to Aloia, who has put his hand up all night for the tough carries and is the closest thing we've got to an inspirational forward leader with Jake on the sidelines.

 

[frank stokes]

We are about to find out how much belief this side has...
Down 14 in the mud against a moderate opposition with it all to play for in the next 40 min...
Players missing is no excuse, if they believe they are a finals side then they have 40 min to prove it to themselves...

 

[Son of Manly Beach]

This was always a chance with the pack we are fielding. Sipley cannot start, hes a liability and so much better off the bench.

And im sorry, im sure Schu has potential, but hes rubbish at the moment. I really hope Foz backflips.

Theres been 60 mins this season weve played without Jake, weve been real bad in those 60 mins. His impact on the team should never be doubted...

I agree 100% with this
Sipleys not the only liability thiugh
As you say Schu is just dreadful atm
Marty’s the worst of em all

 

[davohan123]

I still don't think we should be playing this bad, we still have enough talent in this team if we actually start playing smart footy to win.

Everyone will say yes our outs but we are making the dragons look like world beaters when they are not.

We’re good at doing that
Just look at Talakai

Dragons could really put on a score if we are not careful.

restarts are 6-1 , you missed two (they had 3 in one set !!!!)

 

[davohan123]

Season defining second half for me.

At least put up some fight.

@BOZO Hang in there.

Completion over 80%, missed tackles and errors very similar to the Dragons.

They've had 8 more sets but only made a bit over 200m more.

We need to tidy our discipline, get some ball and some momentum.

We can win but its up to the boys to make it happen

 

[mickqld]

Great idea to kick across to Harper but where the f*ck was Saab. That should've been a runaway try every day. Nowhere to be seen Saab.

Was just going off fox sports had in there stats

 

[The Royal Soup]

typical predictable ****house performance from Manly

a disgrace to that retro jumper they are wearing
