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

[HoldenV8]

Killer is having a blinder tonight.

 

[HappilyManly]

Killer's having a killer game - champion reader of the game

 

[Pablo]

Bit like the old days when i use to think - who's going to make the next big hit rather than who's going to let in the next try!

 

[Simonmyers11]

Green isn't flashing but works hard. Solid defence

 

[eaglebuzz]

Best effort since the Sharks win in round 3?

Definitely.

That's something to remember too. We have it in us to beat the best team in the comp. If we could have jagged a few more wins we could have had a real shot this season.

 

[Nordburg]

Are you saying Lyon should be fb

No,not sure how you came up with that assumption from my comment.Or were you referring to the person who suggested TomT to 5/8?

 

[torana355]

YES!!!!! It is our night!!!

 

[KOMORI]

Yeah baby!!!

 

[FlyingHigh]

Williame, Wright and Green have all stood up massively tonight. I hope they can keep it up.

 

[mjb136]

Woooohooooo yeehah!

 

[HappilyManly]

Buhrerful - wow what a cross kick

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

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..?

Well it isn't actually a a NRL rule but a universal phenomenon, explained here.....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_toward_the_mean

In this case if the possession is 50/50 in the 2nd half the end statistic will be 60/40, so you can see it tends to equal out.....

Something tells me Gaznier didn't have this in mind LOL

 

[Loobs]

Tonight we can even score tries with Luke Burgess on the field!

 

[Killer03]

Wow, we look good' but how bad do the drags look? Just no intensity at all.

Great to see Dce running at the defensive line.

 

[torana355]

DCE looks so much better without Snake on the field. Tell me if im wrong. Also don't take that as me hating on Snake, he has been a champion for us for a long long time but clearly there is something going on with him lately.

 

[eaglebuzz]

Great little bat back by Green. For all the crap he's copped this year he's now showing what Barrett must have seen in him at the start of the year.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Api starting to finally find some combination with dce. Think dce playing great tonight. Going to the line.

And cant understate how good it is having a full back get involved and return the ball

 

[killerspud]

Im impressed with Green, and Lussick has been huge again 10/10 lads.

 

[HappilyManly]

Williame, Wright and Green have all stood up massively tonight. I hope they can keep it up.

All the Manly players have lifted. Winning helps relax them and they enjoy playing footy again.

Carn Manly 61-0 is the record to break tonight

Heheh yeah he's no rocket surgeon that's for sure!
