Game Day: Manly v Dragons [Round 14, 2019]

Surely that game puts to bed the notion of Parker over Walker

Quality, early ball for once and he was unstoppable. Parker has been good and solid but he doesn’t have those extra gears that Walker does

Definitely. Both centres were great today.

Walker played well today, but I think you could argue that Parker was probably our best outside back in the first 10 rounds. I wonder if he comes in for Suli (who was also very good today), or will remain in reserve grade.

I'll join you.

Found out 2 hours before the game one of my last remaining Aussie friends just lost her battle against Breast Cancer. Only in her 40's.

Condolences and sorry to hear of your loss my friend. Although a game of footy does not do much in these hard situations, I hope it at least took your mind off things for a couple of hours and gave you a bit of a smirk with a Manly win.

Re the "grounding" decision, I wonder whether there needed to be a defending player's hand on Dufty when the ball touched the ground in goal? That's the only thing I can think of as to why it wasn't called... well, apart from just plain ineptness from the officials.

No the rule is the ball is dead as soon as it touches the ground in the in-goal.

The great thing at least is that Parker showed this year he is First grade quality, albeit a depth first grader.

Funny presser - nice work Des

We know Suli can play on the wing. Parker would make a great defensive foil in the other centre slot, if Walker re-signs.

Highlight of the game for me was yelling “go go go” as walker was in the clear and my 18 month old started sprinting across the lounge lol

Hi happy Silvertails
I was watching the match on the NRL app while pulled off the road during a pelting, swirling thunderstorm. We were down 8-0. Then a maroon and white Kombi drove past and they scored. It was a Manly Kombi no doubt. The skies soon parted, back on the road listening to the radio and things just got better.
One of the easiest matches to listen to this year. No CPR needed, just relax and enjoy the show. I'll have to watch the full match replay on the app.
Still standing solid in the 8. Well done Dessie and Manly!

I put walker on right, Parker in left

Lots of times a player grounds the ball in goal with no opposition hand on him. I really dont know the rule though

I think it is called a “safety”

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

That was a very satisfying win.

They didn’t just beat them, they reminded everyone that we were potentially robbed of victory, courtesy of a refereeing blunder, the last time they played each other.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Good to get a bit of that St Merge monkey off our back. Our record against them is horrible, so would love to get a positive mindset on that and claw back the ledger

 

[HoldenV8]

Two words to describe Tom's performance at fullback today.....

Ponga who?

Awesome presser.

Awesome presser.

That kiddie made more sense than 15 other coaches

Love to hear him review the referees in our match - #NoFilters

How good was the young reporter. Superb!

 

[BH72]

really enjoyed that today. always felt we would come back and to be watching Turbo in this sort of form is something else. When he went through the middle to set up that try (on the last tackle) was just what Manly should be. No formula just play with confidence. Brilliant.
