Game Day: Manly v Dragons [Round 6, 2017]

[HoldenV8]

Realistically, for all of our mistakes.....if not for two Bunker howlers the score would actually be 12-12.

Take off 4 for Widdop's try (he didn't convert) and add 6 for the try we should have had (it was right next to the posts) and its 12-all.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Two terrible bunker decisions against us, team asleep for most of the first half, but we started showing signs of life towards the end and Jorge made sure we got the try we deserved. We're well in this, 10 points is nothing. We can win this.

Fair call. They beat each other up for the full 80, won at the death - quite the high to have to back up from. Still, this is quite the turd they're laying. Still again, first try was a joke, second one came while they were still rattled from one of the worst calls you've ever seen, we've been denied one and the last ten saw some much improved defence (which is still way off the last few weeks).

Baz needs to use on of his door rip cards today.

Great summary of the first half.

 

[Clay]

Still winnable, felt comfortable we would get a late try.
Goes without saying need a much better second half

Forget The rubbish call. We were Out played. Out enthused. Vaughn just dominated early.

 

[HappilyManly]

Api is the problem. He is flat today and when he bothers to get into dummy half, he just passes the ball to the closest player who then gets tackled straight away.

Last week Api was scooping up the ball at dummy half, running a few meters and splitting the defense, before choosing his receiver.

Wake up Api

But it ain't over - win it for @Batty

well...that was a rugby union type time waste after that conversion!

i was hoping for one more length of the field try.

So the clock stops for only the last 5 minutes of the match,not each half?Another unexplainable decision from the NRL

 

[Dan]

Forget The rubbish call. We were Out played. Out enthused. Vaughn just dominated early.

We look as tired as parents of 6 month old triplets out there

 

[globaleagle]

A captains challenge would be nice....for decisions like that first try **** up

Archie looks as worried as the rest of us.

Manly can still win little Man

Api...is flat today and when he bothers to get into dummy half, he just passes the ball to the closest player who then gets tackled straight away.

So he's the perfect NSW hooker then!

 

[Clint]

i tell ya, jorgey cops some flak round these parts, many want to jettison him but i think at 25 he's invaluable. i'd re-sign him in a second

Jorge how'd you get time to post during the game ole mate. Get back out there and concentrate on the game...


* just jokes I like Jorge too

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

On a positive note, perhaps a few pumped up heads (on the back of SOO selection speculation etc) have been pricked in this game.

 

[HappilyManly]

Uate has a groin pull and should be right for the Scumos game next week at 3pm

 

[Loobs]

Baz talking to Siro looked like he was going "just dump him on his head ya ****ing idiot, it's not hard!"

 

[Dan]

Archie looks as worried as the rest of us.

Manly can still win little Man

He is watching monsters U onthe tablet so I can have the TV. I meant to go out and buy a new Tv yesterday but got dragged into meetings or else I'd have him elsewhere.

I'm going to stick his manly jersey on him to pep him until a bit

 

[EagleFlys]

Today will show whether Manly are a top 8 side. Adversity will show their character; will they roll over.... or stand up.

GO MANLY
