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

[Jethro]

There is something special about waving goodbye to broncos fans from your seat while the game is still going.

Yeah, they started leaving with around 20 minutes still to go. 😀

Which link requires it?

The nrl.com site has a logon aspect, but it's just a verified account to stop Bots.

Just create a new gmail account and log in with that.

If it's the MWSE site then you need to be a Member.

Let me know which link it is as I'm logged in permanently on both sites so I don't get the message

What were they on about this morning?

I can't stand that fVckhead Hopper. IMO biggest weasel and slimy turd in the media. I stopped reading his crap and if he comes on the TV or radio I quickly change the station. I miss nothing and my blood pressure is good and I haven't broken a TV remote because I was throwing it at his ugly head in ages.

What were they on about this morning?

That Chez needs to be humble after a win, because he did say "we've finally got something to smile about", the arrogance!! Also again that he's not worth the money, and then how Chez tried to downplay the Hastings incident, Kent actually called DCE a liar. Tallis didn't say much though because he knew how well Chez played and it must have been driving him crazy

I'm at a loss on who our 30 are.
Plod and Darcy are still reported as part of our roster.😕

Not the best quality photographs of the post-match walk-around but here they are anyway:

Great pics, thanks @Jethro

Recorded the game and watching now. Not sure if this is covered elsewhere, but the first Broncos try to McCullough - the video ref looks at several replays which are inconclusive. The try is awarded for insufficient evidence to overturn. Then as soon as it's awarded, fox show another replay from a completely different angle which to my eyes, clearly indicates he doesn't score. That replay even goes on longer than the others, and shows McCullough still trying to get the ball down, well past the point when the official replays stopped, which indicates even he knew he didn't get it down. Commentators of course say absolutely nothing.

Millimetres in it mate..he may have scored first time but he wasn't sure hence had 3 cracks lol not the worst call of the year realistically

Thanks @Jethro !

Sheesh how drunk were ya? fuzzy pics for the win! lol

Ah yes, the world truly is made for beautiful women and children. I wondered why the players were all stopping at that point.... then saw the kids.

No, I wasn't drunk. It was just hard taking quick photos of moving targets with my phone. 😛

I was a bit disappointed that most of the players kept their distance and just waved from the field marking perimeter. These guys were the only ones that walked along the fence line for photographs, autograph signings and talking with the fans.

It’d be Mr Plod wouldn’t it ? #thanksbozo

I think it must be.

From memory I recall reading we had to pay him but he wasn't part of our 30 players (however accuracy and reporting are worlds apart these days)

There’s a thread in here called “top 30 squad” or something similar which references an article that pretty much listed what the squad was before we upgraded Suli and bought Hodko. You can search for it. But Myles was claimed to be in the top 30 squad because we were still paying him even though he was holidaying around the world.

Koroisau: 'It just meant so much'

When Api Koroisau scored against the Brisbane Broncos, he did something very rare.

He actually CELEBRATED the try.

And he did it in style, throwing the ball into the air with one hand before joyously sharing just his 10th NRL try in 82 games with excited team-mates who swamped the tough little hooker.

That's the first time I've actually celebrated a try in that way

Api Koroisau
"It's not my go. I'm normally more reserved than that. It just meant so much."

One couldn't blame Koroisau for showing his emotions.

After a tough month for the Sea Eagles on and off the field, Koroisau had every right to celebrate after darting from dummy half to beat the defence to score under the posts for a 26-14 lead. From there, the Sea Eagles were never headed.

"We have had a really rough five weeks and a lot of outside pressures, so to get that win under the circumstances was really good,'' a relieved Koroisau said.

"(The pressure) was hard to ignore, with everything that goes on in the papers and the television, but we stuck together and our effort was really good.

"We didn't want to let that game slip away from us. Everyone dug deep and made some really big plays at really important time.

"It showed just how good we can be.

"The way we put in, we are going to have to do that again this week if we really want to get our season moving."

The Sea Eagles will be looking to record their fourth win of the season when they take on arch rivals and premiers Melbourne Storm at AAMI Park. The Storm will be without captain and hooker Cameron Smith due to suspension.

"It is still pretty early on in the season and we can definitely turn things around,'' Koroisau added.

"The win (over the Broncos) was all we really needed to get things back on track."

Wait till Kunty on 360 hears about this. Try celebrations, getting the season back on track.....no humbleness what so ever, that's what happens when you hang with DCE.
