Game Day: Manly v Cowboys [Round 13, 2018]

[Fluffy]

backs need to get the F out of the middle and let the forwards do their thing. Easy to compress defence when there are no wingers or centres to worry about.

Cows got a very lucky try other than that very little in it so far and a pretty big breeze so hopefully we can utilise that in the second half

 

[TimmyQ]

Yep. We put on such a great show for that 40. Pity the refs ruined it. Scintillating attack, crafty kicking, wonderful discipline and the ref ruined all that good work.

If it wasn’t so awful it would be funny. I couldn’t believe what I was watching.

Surely the second half will give us something.This stuff so far beggars belief.

Jesus Sue....we weren't that bad

 

[Jigzkiller]

When you consider how many players we have out

Yeah they are full strength please drop the excuses all the time we are not the only team with injuries,we are not the only team that get's tough ref calls.

 

[davohan123]

Very poor half
Fyi
We had 2 tackles inside their 20m
Man that was hard to watch
If we get 60-40 posession we might have a chance.
Triple m coverage so one sided not funny

 

[bob dylan]

Ennis, Gasnier and co adamant that was a no try and has been all year.

That will cost us.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

This is a grind. The Cowboys brought the Storm down to their level last week and the Rabbitohs a week earlier

 

[davohan123]

Ok before we all panic..we've had Fark all field position and defended pretty well. We have a good breeze behind us. We are right in this. Keep ure cool boys and girls

If you are live at the game you may think otherwise like I am
We were poor mate ,Marty has been very poor tonight.
Dumb Dumb Dumb footy tonight

 

[Kevinward777]

Taumalolo is single handedly taking on our pack and destroying us. We need better kicking options by DCE to have a chance. None have been threatening.

Are you serious? Our forwards are making plenty of big metres up the guts.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Ennis, Gasnier and co adamant that was a no try and has been all year.

That will cost us.

Bob, seriously it’s Manly mate and you know there’s always two rules!!

1 for us, another for the rest!

Us in attack “ no try”

Us in defence “ try”

Simples!!

 

[eggson]

Ennis, Gasnier and co adamant that was a no try and has been all year.

That will cost us.

New Rules League, weekly!

 

[Eagles2nv]

Refs are on the cowboys side that's for sure.

There forwards will hopefully start getting tired running into the wind. Dce needs to step up though and get us home.

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

Down by 8 kick it in to touch bahahahahaaa


Its like watching A grade

 

[SeaEagle21]

No mention at half time about the 11 seconds that disappeared like a fart in the wind at the end of the half

 

[Garts]

Whilst we were ordinary we can still win this. Cows arnt great and got somewhat lucky. Forwards roll forward then hope DCE has a blinder. Or maybe its the 6 whiskeys that has me thinking we are a chance.

 

[Deleted member 26876]

Got to say that if we lose this i'll be shocked, still extremely confident of a victory. Attack isn't our problem, it's our occasional defensive slip ups and soft moments

 

[HK_Eagle]

Still struggle to control the ruck in defence (even against a depleted Cow's pack)
Marty can thank his lucky stars he doesn't have further errors against his name with a couple of poorly thought out offloads
Last tackle options continue to be deplorable
Little to no structure in attack, just relying on offload second phase ad-lib footy
DCE... I don't even know where to start with our million dollar superstar...
On a plus...
We have cut down the number of errors and penalties given away
Sipley had an impressive stint with some good hard runs

 

[double hoops]

I'm really not interested if it's windy and what way it's blowing. Cows just ran harder in the forwards. Our best metre gaining set by a mile, which led to the try I think was Jorge, Suli and Uate.

FMD you so called Manly forwards. Give us some intensity. Get into the scrap stuff ya.. Everyone bar Lolo is missing and your being owned.

For **** sake harden up.

 

[KOMORI]

Hope to see some footy in this half..

 

[Nordburg]

You have your 2 best players out but still try and play the same way.Why not try and keep it simple?Coach needs to learn

 

[HappilyManly]

No mention at half time about the 11 seconds that disappeared like a fart in the wind at the end of the half

Again an Api error by being lazy and not packing into the scrum.

It's all these lazy passes, onsides etc that Manly continue to throw games with

Baz is not threatening enough at training
