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

[Brisbane Tragic]

The dogs did very well to defend his normal point scoring avenues, the fact he scored three tries under the circumstances shows just how good he is.

oh best player in the comp - without doubt. No argument there

 

[eagleron]

I don't think we'll turn in a performance like that in the finals.

I thought with Turbo's try he didn't lose the ball he swapped hands

I thought he always had a hand on the ball

 

[malroon]

And Garricks try should have been a penalty try , lashing out with the feet ie: Aloiai.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Well after 3 months and a few days I’m back home , now ( apart from today’s game ) what did I miss ???

yes - he may have - looked dodgy though

No covid in QLD
NSW more covid than Vic

We are five wins into the top 8!

Well from all reports on here, there goes the season. @Mark from Brisbane You couldn't have just stayed away until the GF was over? This has been posted previously by multiple sources, including yourself. 😀😃😬

 

[niccipops]

bleeting like reemed sheep about it.

Gold!
Love your work Mick.

Played footy with Andy mid teens 15-18. He was a handy footballer… good bloke. Think he has a podcast now. Haven’t spoken to him in 28 years.

I can see the scene, 28 years ago…

@Port Eagle opens a door

Andy Raymond is inside, wearing a Parra jersey

“it’s not what you think…”

they never spoke again

 

[Rosko]

I reckon you throw Sipley onto that list. 2 of those 4 will miss out.

Sipley and Sironen.

A kiss is not a kiss . . .

 

[Remy]

Let's just forget this happened, hope we don't ever play like that again, and move on haha

 

[Remy]

But no for real, it's been a drama-filled and a weird weekend. A lot of weird drama on field and off field. Let's just be grateful we came out of all this weirdness with a win, a top 4 position, and no injuries and suspension. We move.

I know, right.

I was wondering why Manly wasn't scoring at will yesterday, know I now why...!

This snippet from 'journo' Chris kennedy..

Attempting to tackle Martin Taupau around the 60-minute mark, Stimson grabbed Taupau's jersey and got the Manly prop's braids caught in his hands before quickly releasing his grip.

Now I'm not saying that it deserved a penalty but to say Marty's hair got caught in Stimson's hand is akin to saying Manu's head punched latrell's shoulder.

I think Anasta said "If you're going to have hair down to your waist...it's going to get pulled"

Waist? Sigh... A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

In conclusion...all Journo's bad, two legs good.

 

[globaleagle]

If you want a bit of a laugh, read this one eyed report from a supposedly veteran journo , joe gould - the one banned by the broncos - in fact I wouldn't be surprised if it was written by someone on the kennel.

Anyway.

Manly... top 4 'woot'

NRL freak prevents the unthinkable

Here come the Sea Eagles. With hat-trick hero Tom Trbojevic returning from a cheek injury, right on cue Manly climbed into the top four for the first time this year with an unconvincing 36-18 win over the Bulldogs.

- Manly climbed into the top four for the first time this year with an unconvincing 36-18 win over the Bulldogs.

- Manly firebrand Josh Aloai binned for lashing out with a boot to the face of Josh Jackson as tempers flared.

- Trbojevic’s first try where he appeared to lose control of the ball

- The fact remains that the Sea Eagles were last after four rounds

- Bulldogs enforcer Jack Hetherington was put on report again for a high shot on Morgan Harper but like the rest of the Canterbury pack he refused to be intimidated.

omg. and on and on and on

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

With his new haircut, I thought ‘is that Peter Garrett running around in Turbo’s jumper?’

 

[Captain Moondog]

I think Anasta said "If you're going to have hair down to your waist...it's going to get pulled"

If you want to know about pulling either side of the waist, Braith's your man.

 

[mickqld]

I tried my best to death ride us but the power of @Mark from Brisbane being back home and so close to where the mighty Eagles were was just too much to counter.

Agree.
The upshot of this is,
don’t attack the head of an opponent.
They should know that.
