GAME DAY - Manly v Raiders [Round 23, 2015] Toovey Farewell Tour

[HK_Eagle]

We need to take a firm look at the statistics here as this game to me is a wake up call for our defensive structure and we need to tighten up for the road ahead. It should have never have come to this after 16 nil.

I agree, though I also think we suffered from missing our two front rowers and also struggled to maintain the emotional intensity we've carried the last few weeks.

The image of Mark's boner is kind of taking away the joy from the win. Not good. I assume that he has blown already and we can move on .......

Need Dogs to have and off game and need Titans to fire.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Some basic errors from players who should know better today, we got out of jail that's for sure. Shows how important Jake is to our roll on and our D.

Does anyone know why Checchin hates us so much ?? It is borderline cheating.

Phewwwwwww !!! season 2015 still alive

Yeah I hate to say it but today he was kinda like the Matt Ballin of earlier this season, especially in the second half when our forwards were getting rolled for a good deal of it.

Blaming MB for that forward pass is plain wrong. The play the ball was delayed and the runner was waaaay early: MB should have held it up but to blame him 100% is wrong.

I apologise 1,000,000% for my lack of faith in the boys. Happy to be WRONG!

Accepted

Mateo has rocks and diamonds days, today it was diamonds!!

 

[Captain Moondog]

Geez your a nice person to call it borderline!!

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

And had a big hand in winning it too 🙂

Ok ok i take it all back but ryan he could easily have cost us the game.

 

[HoldenV8]

PMSL............One of your best HV8.

It was the first thing that came to mind lol. We literally got out of gaol today. Chief prosecutor Checcin tried his best to get Canberra over the line but the jury was in our favour 😉

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I tend to agree: but a huge part of this was losing Jake and determinedly biased refereeing.

It was the sort of win where we all but lost it but pulled it from the fire: this will be ENORMOUS for the team's self belief.

Best tag @Mark from Brisbane in a post referring to self belief!!

Self belief is everything, a few of us lost ours as well this afternoon!

He almost screwed us with about 4 play the ball penalties - did Manly ever get given one?

Those play the ball penalties were killing us

 

[HK_Eagle]

Yeah I hate to say it but today he was kinda like the Matt Ballin of earlier this season, especially in the second half when our forwards were getting rolled for a good deal of it.

And also choosing completely inappropriate times to run from dummy half. Most times he was immediately tagged by a marker who was set. At best he managed a 6 meter run once i think. It is cringeworthy.

Jake T is our best defender in the middle.

 

[Eagleheart]

You little beauty..............!!!! That was just an absolutely awesome win, I am soooooo happy....!!

Go the Mighty Manly Sea Eagles.

 

[Nordburg]

I think they were a bit flat this week and considering the 3 huge games the weeks before,it could be understandable.They'll bounce back next week but I suspect more blokes will be out due to the short sighted NRL

 

[Jerry1]

Long drive home now.. Stoked

 

[Menzies11]

Always got to look at the game as 12- nil down before we start if Chechen( don't know how to spell his name and don't care) is reffing. Great last gasp win by the boys, mmmmaaaaaaannnnnnnnlllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ryan]

Fair enough mate. Please see the Cherry thread why I think it's cool he does fly by the edge, rather than being conservative though.
