Post-Game Discussion Manly v Bulldogs [Round 24, 2021]

[Shoe1]

Was it just me or did the field seem a little narrow?

On screen we looked like we ran ourselves out of room very quickly most of the time when usually there would be ample room.

small in-goals too I thought.

I think it was Manly's tendency to go wide too early, and Canterbury were expecting it so slid out there. The point has been made earlier, but once Manly changed to inside balls and angles back inside the gaps opened up. Possibly Manly should have adjusted earlier.

I drove past the Redcliffe turnoff yesterday about 3pm listening to the game on the ABC, close but not close enough !!

Hope you don't get an ear infection from listening to the ABC.

I'd be waiting to see what happens on their next game before you start throwing streamers in the air.

Trent has already thrown the streamers into the air and picked them up again, rerolled them ready for recycling them for next weeks dogs game.

Tigers loss against Dogs and Trent will be happy with a pretty good year for them.

The in goals looked pretty skinny as well, maybe just an optical illusion but to me they looked skinny as

Only a fine

How happy would he be coming in to his first finals campaign, something he never would have experienced if he'd stayed at the tigpies

I reckon Sironen and Toff will be replaced. Walker adds too much versatility now, so can now cover forwards and backs.

It also adds another level of unpredictability in terms of a ball player (when he doesn’t hog) and kicker.

his tackle to force the drop out was pure strength.

WTF? Fox stating Dogs robbed. Sea Eagles get rub of the green..... seriously!!

Toms try was definitely a try. He had the ball against his body, it never left his hand and he even regripped before the ball hit the ground. TRY move on.

I just don’t get what Vossy and Barrett are smoking.

I thought it was a good game played in good spirit and everyone should shut up. The dogs handled possession very well and no team can score without the ball. Manly were cotton wooling in this one to avoid injury or suspensions and we won so that’s the end of the section.

Actually for Rugby League I find them better than Foxtel.

Far less biased.

Imagine foxtel Ultra 4k HD with the abc radio commentators instead of Voss and co my dream nrl coverage team.

Yep, no doubt about Turbo’ being a fair try as at no time did a hand leave the ball even if he did roll it across his stomach.

Good on the Dogs for putting up a fight and as long a Barrett isn’t coach next year, they’ll be close or in the 8 with their new signings. Some people are meant to be managers and some executive assistants. Barrett seems to be a good executive assistant.

Having looked now at three replays of the game, we seemed to be running some new plays and that maybe why we were clunky with uncertainty about the play.

Certainly passes were off. Foran went ‘off’ at Schuster for something when a ball was dropped and Schuster wasn’t even involved in the play. Maybe he should have been, as a few plays later, the same play and Schuster drifts back to the right, passes to Turbo and under the posts.

I thought they were trying some new inside plays with Turbo and a few others which they may have practised at training however not in a game. It certainly looked like it, as they were clunky.

What that game will do is make other coaches have to re-evaluate plans to stop Turbo. Is he going inside or outside?

Having watched the game 3 times, I am stunned with the distance Turbo covers. I cannot imagine how many metres he actually runs in a game (with and without the ball).

Vossy wanted them beaten so badly he was incensed at anything manly had go their way.
It was embarrassing for him to at one stage announce he was just a casual observer...be f**ked he was.
I myself was starting to enjoy the hate being piled onto the manly team.....only good things from that.

d before the ball hit the ground. TRY move on.

Voss' commentary was diabolical, I literally can't remember the last time I've heard a commentator trying to will the match toward a particular result as much as he was doing yesterday.

We really should have scored another 30 points. All we had to do was hold onto the ball and stop pushing the last pass.

 

[Shoe1]

The dog player was offside at the kickoff, why no check on this??? Des should blow up. See the replay. Wow.

He's employed to try to make the matches sound interesting, they all are. But many times the match just isn't interesting, and Voss's comedian/footy expert/general chatty non-stop gibber drives me crazy. Not sure how many years he's been doing it, or whether he's gotten worse, or maybe I just have a threshold for Voss tolerance and have well and truly hit it.

It really annoyed me. Voss was crapping on like a kennel forum retard. Usually I can turn a deaf ear to it but he was so one eyed that I lost it totally listening to his ranting gibberish.

Foxtel should take a good look at this bumbling fool and ask if he deserves another contract.

Surely there has to be a better option out there...

Just think, if Twenty hadn't thrown his toys out of the cot at Manly we could be enjoying that lofty standard of success, pity really
