GAME DAY - Manly v Sharks [Round 17, 2015]

[globaleagle]

Well done to the boys, and the crowd! 14,800 they said. sounded a bit quiet through my telecast but maybe you guys were loud.

Poor Mr. Gould....really got stuck into us in the pre game and during the first half with some top shelf death riding....but Manly didn't give it to him.

 

[Eagleheart]

Go Manly.....................!!!! And at least it is a win and we get two points..................!!!!

Have been listening to the game via the internet (ABC grandstand) as I am in outback Western Australia. And even though I could not see it I reckon the refs were rubbish.......bloody biased mongrels.

Great to have Killer back..................!

 

[Sillybus]

That's true but Hodges was much better in the 2nd half. Overall, I was happy with how Hodges went.

No doubt and I'd rather hodges sub for ballin everyday of the week over hasson. But I think we saw in thr first half why hodges hasnt been picked on the team for most of the season. Once leary and lawrence are back I doubt he'll get a look in at all

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Cronulla looked very ordinary today and there's lots of room for improvement, but I'll take any win we can get this year. Thought Starling was a standout for us when he was on and Sao was really strong, too. Jake T, as usual, was fantastic.
Two other points. Anyone who thinks Brett Stewart isn't worth hanging onto is insane. And when he's fit, as he has been this year, Jorge Tafua is our best winger by a long margin.

14K would not have counted the free kiddies. Even the concourses were 10 deep.

What a dour game, but at least its a win!

Agonising 13+ loss. But a good game.

Sao & Starling are keepers.

 

[Go manly]

A on a Sunday afternoon in a **** year and some are still not happy

Thought everyone had a dig and feel happy enough now to go get pissed

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Do you think DCE is having a better year than Robson?

I would suggest only Brett, and the centres would make the Sharks team if picked on 2015 form.

Maybe. After that game Tafua would find his way into a combined Manulla backline.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Haha, don't know who is writing the match report on the NRL app but the article says that we have returned to winning ways with an IMPRESSIVE win.

 

[TigerNige]

Win's a win. Off the bottom of the table. Hope I get to see a better game this afternoon (Castleford v Widnes) & better officiating

 

[Alby]

I think that was the worst game of Rugby League I have watched in a decade. We were absolute rubbish, the refereeing was the most disgraceful exhibition I have ever seen and the only thing that saved us was the **** dished up by Cronulla. We may be off the bottom of the ladder (Just) but we are far and away the worst team in 2015.

I think Newcastle, Tigers are worse teams than ourselves. But damn we have a lot of improving to do. Funny though, we had world class touches from guys like Brett , Mattai, Lyons (defense), then you have some real amateur crap (stupid penalties, dropped balls).

Agreed. Maybe a lean run is turning some into hard task markers but I thought we were ok. Looked in control all game and drew our biggest crowd of the year. The refereeing really made the score more respectable for Cronulla.

 

[Budgie]

Go Manly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jerry1]

Much better 2nd half.

We are a mucher better side while Jake T is on the field.

Yep

Look, there's not much between first & last. It's th little things we do poorly.

Will someone please tell me what the game plan was today. Our kicking was all over the place and rubbish at times. Our kick chase was casual at best, we had no line speed in defence and the attack was disjointed and clunky. Tooves, what was the plan today mate. I applaud the use of Hodges who settled in after early jitters, but what were you trying to do out there?????

 

[highlandeagle]

The forwards were great ,the halves were rusty,ball security a worry and once again the refs were biased and woeful.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Starling showed today what we have been missing all season - a surfeit of metre-eating forwards. Jake T has been a bit of Lone Ranger in that department; Starling and the others stepped up.

 

[Loobs]

Sao & Starling are keepers.

On the bench next year - potent

 

[Go manly]

A much needed 2 pts!
Tough to take that last try, had a 100 on 13+. Haha ah well good win!

Know how it feels
Had the same bet all up Cowboys and highlanders
But the wins still has me smiling
