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

[HappilyManly]

Jorge out for match with HIA 😕

 

[Sue]

Thought our defence was great that half, the Taumalolo try was just lucky. When you consider how many players we have out, we have worked really well as a unit.

Lane, DCE, Suli, Thompson and Marty have been superb.

Just need a bit of ball this half and to keep targeting them behind the ruck.

The injury stuff is way overrated . As I said earlier , other than a couple of games which we have won, we have had our first choice spine and great props play every game. Other than Dylan We have injured second rowers and to be honest most of them are pretty much the same standard and Barrett barely uses backrowers in attack.

Old excuse. It’s just poor.

It won’t take much to win this. Surely we can respond

 

[Technical Coach]

The team all year hasn't earned the right to play footy early on in games, running it on the 5th so early on, spreading it early or low percentage offloads are just not on. I understand all teams have to do more than hitups otherwise you risk gang tackling and lacking penetration but this team needs to earn the right first throughout the year.

Then Manly get a little forward momentum and field position in the red zone and a poor dummy half pass low leads to an eventual rushed pass and drop ball----it is amateurish lacking any composure.

There is so much penetration in the forwards Manly should easily be ahead even with the wind against us.

 

[hozza]

Geez, we’ve got lucky there..

 

[damiennp90]

That wasn't forward.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

****ing lucky with that one!!

Think we are gonski to be honest

 

[killerspud]

Well that was lucky. Or was it an even up..or was it forward? or was it something else that we will never know? The game has become a mystery.

 

[Class of 96]

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

That will cost us.

And Gould

 

[Class of 96]

Kelly doesn’t pass to Uate. Wright doesn’t pass to Taufua first half....faaaaark

 

[hozza]

Has to be a try

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

My little mate BK again,

 

[bob dylan]

Q. Why do they even look at that?

A. Because its Manly

 

[HappilyManly]

Good one Kels

Uate over ran him originally

 

[Pittwater Legend]

My man Kelly scored right in front of me. Eventually got there on the 3rd play. He nearly beat 3 of them on the first tackle. Nicely worked by Uate and Kelly

 

[eggson]

Gotta let the cows get their breath back

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

15 looks to give that ? Seriously

 

[double hoops]

At least we have a centre who says give me the ball I'll do this.

 

[hozza]

Somehow we are still in this, come on boys!!

 

[HappilyManly]

Q. Why do they even look at that?

A. Because its Manly

Bunker: the tackle by Feldts was initiated by Feldts - duh

 

[Kevinward777]

Both our tries have been scored on individual effort... DCE needs to create something. All he seems to be doing is running around in bloody circles. There’s no excuse because he’s getting great go forward

 

[Sue]

Yep. Kels s a great talent. Love his intensity
