Game Day: Manly v Dragons [Round 17, 2016]

[Captain Moondog]

I'm nearly confident we can win it from here, probably.

 

[qldeagle]

Please tell me we're going to play the full 80.

 

[Loaded dog]

Today I got up and went for a 10km run at 6am.

That is a terrible time of the day to be awake! Shame on you!

 

[spantrav]

Must remain focussed. This is by no means over. If it were 2007-2013 maybe but not now. Looking at goons "high"lights they were hopeless. Will be better in the 2nd half.

 

[HappilyManly]

61-0 is possible Hillites 😀

 

[Simonmyers11]

I guess whats in our favor st George only avg 2 tries a game. I see the forwards continuing to get those meters and off loads and should be some more points in us second half

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Possession usually turns around but ST Merge havent got that many points in them a couple of tries and we are home and about F%#*) time

 

[Ralphie]

I'm nearly confident we can win it from here, probably.

Not me, Newcastle led yesterday 22 - blot and lost.

If TT had played fullback from early in the year and Barrett had given free reign to blokes like Jake,AFB,Vave,Buhrer and Lussick to play second phase we could have made the eight. Almost all our forwards have a nice pass on them.It is so obvious our players have been handed a licence to use their skills in the last couple of weeks.

Too late from Trent but he is a first year coach and deserves a little credit for finally dumping Stewart and freeing the guys up. If Stewart plays another game this year we are simply crazy. Williame will also become a good first grader.Api tries hard but has the worst pass in the NRL from dummy half to the right side. It is so hard to watch.

 

[Turbo]

If we lose the game from here I'm quitting silvertails

 

[COMMANDER]

That Ranga forward with the beard had a good half.

 

[Wombat Legacy]

About time these boys started playing a bit of footy...good on 'em

 

[Eagle1]

Well as long as they don't **** up like they did against Penrith,I'll reserve my judgement until the end of the game.

 

[KOMORI]

Possession something like 70-30, Gaznier is saying that "must equal out".

Why? Why must it equal out? Is there a rule saying that each team should get roughly 50% of the ball/game?

Will the refs go out of their way to ensure that they get plenty of ball in the second half to more or less even this out..?

Now now. Don't do something that silly. Silvertails is life.

 

[Loaded dog]

I am watching the coverage from europe (where else?). Which one of you was captured (without your teeth in?)

 

[Normie]

So Jorge has trouble catching bombs but can pluck them close from the turf. Should be in the slips for Australia.......

Agree with all of that Susan.

 

[KOMORI]

Jesus Trent!!

"Yeah nah we were really good"...

You can say it Trent... It's a "yeah"..

 

[Fibro Eagle]

I did however take this as a good omen for the game today, even though I am watching it through one eye

Well you are a oneeyed Manly supporter arn't you Dan
