GAME DAY - Manly v Storm [Round 8, 2015]

[Dan]

Tell me again how much better hodges is than Ballin?

He destroyed our best opportunities and has just caused error after error. Hook him

 

[mave]

Hang on to the fkn ball and stop giving away stupid penalties.
FFS

The upside is a much improved and motivated defence.

 

[Christol74]

This is beyond frustrating to watch. They are incapable of applying any pressure to the storm because everytime we have them working out of their own half some muppet gives away a stupid penalty.

Toovey needs to lay down the law. Let them know that the next player to give away a dumb or lazy penalty in this game will not be playing first grade again for a long time.

 

[Prez]

Checcin evening up the penalty count with some totally useless penalties for us when we are already camped in their 20. How about one to piggy back us out of our end ??

was thinking the exact same thing...

 

[Jerry1]

Reckon we can steal a win here. If we hold the ball stop giving ****e ass penalties.

 

[mickqld]

$Forme hardly sighted in attacking plays again.

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

And when they are holding the ball, they dony know what to do with it, not just Hodges.

 

[torana355]

Its going to take a game or too with our players back for things to click.

 

[Rodo]

Stop whinging about the refs! It's our players holding down for too long repeatedly. If we did it once or twice a game whatever but we do it 5+ and that is not on the refs it's on us.

Agreed mate. Manly are holding on far too long in the tackles. And there could have been a couple more penalties given that weren't.

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

DCE is trying real hard to build a try.

 

[HappilyManly]

Hiku needed to give it to wolfman

Exactly - Hiku never passes, he needs to be on the wing as his wingers are never serviced

Whats with Hodges elbowing someone and right on their tryline - just dumb penalties

I think that the defense is so much better this week, but our attack on the LHS is non existent I thought that with Foran back, thats the side that we would go to. Jorge actually looks fit and alert

Matai's hit on Chambers was nothing, but WTF was he doing touching the Ref when the Ref says don't touch me Ceccin is crazy enough to send him to the bin FFS

We are still in this, against all the odds - Go Manly!

 

[Dan]

Hodges has the creativity of a Wooden plank

 

[pjayz]

Has Lui come on yet?

 

[Prez]

After a very solid start from the boys we ended up with only one set at their line, in which we dropped the ball. Penalties and errors killing us. Still hopeful because the effort is there. Gotta clean it up boys if we are any chance.

Hodges has the creativity of a Wooden plank

You think that much? Wow you rate him highly

 

[davohan123]

What about the penalty for Ballin's second effort early on in the game to help DCE

Foran looks predesterian - drop him plesae to NSW cup he has done nothing tonight

Attitude so much better but if storm score 1st second half they will go on with

 

[Rodo]

Looks like Foran is still suffering from his hamstring injury. He's definitely not running freely.

 

[Prez]

Hodges has the creativity of a Wooden plank

The first captain to make a pirate walk the plank would have been considered creative at the time

 

[Wombat64]

Face it our team is not much better than this.......

 

[Jerry1]

So far no point in bagging the boys - we have been so bad recently with no effort in at all. Tonight so far they are putting in. You can't expect it all to click instantly when we have been so bad for so long. Be happy we are having a crack for the first time in a long time.
