The only thing better than parra losing to anybody is beating the donkeys,especially at brisbane.

I think George Rose looks close to his playing weight.

Put a contract in front of him before June 30.

PS Close = Within 30KG

Fmd George looks 300kgs lol no wonder he wears black

Can someone post the song when it's up. I want to sing it with them and dance around the house.

 

[Bearfax]

Great to see young Tom Wright get a run in FG if only for 8 minutes. Will do him a world of good. A taste is worth a hundred training runs

 

[TimmyQ]

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.

Agreed..we're not gonna win the comp but when we're on we're a great team to watch. So lets just enjoy the good days this yr I reckon

 

[HappilyManly]

Happy Mothers Day !

We are the Manly Boys,
We had a win today,
We are the boys you know of,
We showed them how to play.

No matter where we'll be,
Maroon and White you'll see,
Oh aren't we a wonderful credit,
To our locality.

So cheer boys cheer,
We are together,
Every now and then we have a win... have a win.

We will play them all around,
At our home or any ground,
If they'll always play a fair and honest game.

So it's guzzle guzzle guzzle,
As we pour it down our muzzle,
And sing out the order loud and clear, "More Beer".

And we drink all night,
Until we are very tired,
In the shade of the Manly Leagues Club.

Shipoopi - That win is hard to get!

 

[Real Deal]

It seems Brisbane is often our happy hunting ground. Good. Well done boys!

 

[HoldenV8]

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

I keep saying it. Whichever side of the field DCE plays his second rower see's a lot more of the ball and Cherry has played on the left the past two weeks. No coincidence that Thommo has seen more of the ball in the past two weeks and has looked 100% better than he has done all year with Croker on that side before his injury.

100%. No team I love beating more than Brisbane and our proud club has gotten to enjoy the feeling more than possibly every other club

Feels like we won the comp lol

Yes, this is how Parramatta supporters normally feel when they jag a win.

 

[qldeagle]

Wooohooo boys unbelievably proud tonight. That's how you play footy. Let's not party too hard Early to bed boys. Lol

 

[Nice Beaver]

Dumps all the websites finances on a head to head win based on this

Send pics from the Mediterranean holiday mate!

 

[HoldenV8]

Though, we still haven't won any 'away' games this year. All our games we've won have been 'home' so this game tonight classifies as a 'home' game.

Technically yes. But the fact that we've been able to win away from Brookvale is a huge boost. And home game or not, to beat Brisbane in Brisbane can't be underestimated.

Sea Eagles bounce back to stun flat Broncos

Powered by inspired lock Jake Trbojevic, the Sea Eagles broke a five game losing streak to shock the Broncos 38-24 at Suncorp Stadium.

Trbojevic had two tries by half-time, made a clean break which could easily have resulted in another and produced up tackle after tackle to lift the underdogs to an 18-14 half-time lead.

Manly never looked back and dominated the final 40 minutes in every aspect of the game.

Fullback Tom Trbojevic had a shaky start to the match with a couple of errors, but played himself back into form and NSW Blues contention with numerous probing incisions clutching the Steeden.

The win was orchestrated by halfback and captain Daly Cherry-Evans, whose kicking game was a source of points and constant headaches for the Broncos defence.

If anything summed up Manly's mentality it was a one-on-one try saving tackle by Akuila Uate on back-rower Jaydn Su'A in the second half.

The Sea Eagles were more desperate, defended better and attacked with a fluency which eluded the Broncos.

The clash of the two young giants, Brisbane's Payne Haas and Manly's Taniela Paseka, had an unfortunate ending for both props.

Haas entered the fray in the first half and sustained a partial dislocated shoulder but bravely played on.

That valiant display was cut short by common sense at half-time and Haas did not return.

Paseka was powerful in his limited game time but came to grief in the second-half when he left the field with an injured ankle.

Wayne Bennett's attempt to ignite Jack Bird by switching him to right centre and James Roberts to the left did not have the desired impact.

Roberts did not see much ball but at least went looking for it and set up a late try for Jamayne Isaako.

Manly scored early courtesy of a spitting grubber by Cherry-Evans which bamboozled Kodi Nikorima and the luckless Bird with Jake Trbojevic picking up the scraps.

Brisbane responded from close range through hooker Andrew McCullough whose strength and desire won out despite three Manly defenders grappling with him.

The value of McCullough came to the fore again when a short pass to Sam Thaiday sent the veteran over.

A Dylan Walker short ball found a barnstorming Joel Thompson, the Trbojevic brothers combined with Jake scoring his second and the Sea Eagles had an 18-14 half-time lead.

Manly put the foot down in the second half as the Broncos opened up in the middle of the park. In-form hooker Apisai Koroisau gave NSW coach Brad Fittler plenty to think about when he surged out of dummy-half.

Sooooo - a lucky 38 points and the 24 was all Barrett's fault??
