Game Day: EF2 - Manly v Panthers [Finals Week 1, 2017]

Mind you, I would love to see Green stand up to the same media scrutiny and explain how he fell off the Panther player THREE times in the one movement on his way to score the last try. Disgusting and unacceptable, even if we were realistically gone at that point. Certainly stopped any chance of last minute heroics.
 
Unfortunately it should never have got to the point where Cartwright scored. Peachey should have been ruled a knock on and after that the play would have been completely different. The score would still have been 10-all and instead of kicking off we'd have had either a 20m tap restart or a scrum feed and from there, who knows what would have happened?

Although they are laughing because we lost, when even Manly haters are saying we got screwed you know something isn't right.
 
Tale of the tape in the stats. Panfers had 9 players break 100m we had 4 and only 1 forward Taupau with 128m. Thts where we lost this. Yes the Bunker ws a joke but our forwards failed again. We didn't get the meters advantage we needed from them. There's the blame.
 
Freddy pointed out how both our wingers stayed back to stop 40/20 kicks and never adjusted during the game 😕

But this meant that neither could support the other on the kick return and just got tackled.:banghead:

Manly needs to learn to adapt during games :wait:

Spot on feathered friend . We cant do anything about the blind bunker but we can do something to improve our roster .
