Game Day: Manly v Broncos [Round 10, 2018]

[Simonmyers11]

The players are pretty emotional!! Dce in that interview seemed like the world has been lifted off his shoulders. Also noted a lot written about them was bs, which we already knew

 

[pt73]

And Parra are stone motherless last .... even better

 

[eggson]

We respected the ball, cut out allot of silly errors, controlled the ruck and got the ball down over the line. Keep it up boys!!

This.

Also George Rose holy moly.

Chez promised not to go out

Poor Jurbo's face is really battered

 

[niccipops]

Woo hoo! Times a million.
The drought is broken and the rain's coming down.
Well done our team!
Maaaaaaaaanly!

 

[HoldenV8]

After that, this has to be done.....enjoy

 

[Michael Clare]

Well done boys. Great effort. Dug deep. They've dug deep the last 2 weeks and been so disappointed especially last week and should've really had wins so this is a huge relief.

The emotion post match was real - these guys care and played for each other. I still think we are awfully error riddled under pressure, but when we click (as we did in second half) we are a potent attacking unit and a joy to watch.

I think George Rose looks close to his playing weight.

Put a contract in front of him before June 30.

PS Close = Within 30KG

 

[TimmyQ]

Yeahhhhhhhh boys!!!!! Great stuff all round - happy tight gutsy unit

Two of those players are deserving of the 3 Dally M points for tonight's match

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Could hardly bear the tension in second half but they brought it home well.
Bad luck Paseka got hurt he was going from strength to strength.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Plenty to like about that

Probably the big one for me is that under adversity, they stuck at it and didn't fold

Started well, then the refs gave them 4 penalties on the bounce and a try where we never saw the ball on the ground, which was then backed up by a Thaiday try off a forward pass. Would have been very easy to drop our bundle there

Liked the style of play, looked more like last year where they run hard and all have a crack with the offloads etc

I mentioned last week that although it was clunky, the DCE/Thompson combo had potential and tonight we saw that develop even more, positive going forward

Walker at 5/8 isn't a traditional play making role, but what it did offer tonight I liked, when he takes the line on there is nearly always a half break and quick play the ball which gets us going, was a nice pass to put Thompson over too. Lyon at 6 the first time was dropped by Hasler as well, but the second time he came back firing and we won a premiership with him playing a vital role at 6, not saying we will win a comp with Walker at 6, but that's why I'm not so worried that we are exploring it for a second time

Paseka is a real shame because he has been looking very good, great effort from the pack tonight considering how light we are in that area

Uate had a tough patch early on but I'm glad they stuck with him, and he is repaying the faith shown. What I always liked from him was that regardless of making a couple of errors, he still always kept coming at 100% rather than go into his shell, and hopefully that can rub off on Tom T as well. M Wright is much maligned too but once again he was extremely solid and did his job well

Relief, absolute relief. Watching those boys after full time, I honestly nearly shed a tear after what we’ve endured as a club this past month.

Thank you boys. Special mention in particular to Joel Thompson - absolute emotion and pride in his performance tonight and no doubt his finest in our jersey. He’s really starting to perform like we had hoped.

Api was outstanding, Lane was great and Moses Suli - well with some fitness he could be a bloody astute purchase.

Feels like we won the comp lol

Two of those players are deserving of the 3 Dally M points for tonight's match

All three orchestrated a win after a very scrappy first 20 minute.

That grubber by Chez was reminiscent of his early years and his kick chase stifled the kick returns


Joel is the new Siro, starting to run off Chez really well

 

[Nice Beaver]

Not sure if its just the wine sitting funny in my stomach, but I have a gut feeling we are going to win this.

Manly by 8 and Tom T to silence his critics....for a week.

I thought the wine was good (and still is)

It was a gut feel after all!

 

[Turbo4Life]

A great thing about the win is that Parra are last, but they're not just last they're the only team on 4 points. the other teams above them have at least 6 points
