Game Day: Manly v Easts [Round 22, 2017]

[HappilyManly]

Sounds like we played awesome. Been out but reading the updates on the forum. Cant wait to get home and watch the recored game. Go manly. What a win especially at home. Massive boost to the whole side and confidence.

You'll love it from about 30 minutes on.

Manly cut out the dumb penalties, supported the runner and constantly change the point of attack.

Online defense is also back. The Rorters were close on about 5 occasions but Manly held them out

He is a toey individual, as he has told us in the past.

do you remember his infamous call or was it a text? hahaha
"there are 4 toey humans waiting to spurt sauce and your in bed. fmd gee up you sad c###" mark gasnier.
hahahaha or something to that effect lol

 

[NewwyEagle]

I panicked lol but happy with that. The roosters are simply nothing without Friend and Cordner.
Next 4 games are very winnable. In fact I think we should win all of them.
Kelly won't be getting his spot back any time soon, Parker was enjoyable to watch.

 

[Ryan]

Parker was outstanding. Doesn't bode well for Brian.

 

[Garts]

Thank christ for that win. Should all but guarantee our spot in the 8 now you would think. Our defence is still pretty soft at times though. Need to work on defending offloads better, we seem to be the worst in that department.

 

[SeaEagle21]

That second half is what we love to see and where the coach earns his $$$. Boys turned what looked like another thrashing in the making at 18-4.

Well done T Baz and i hope he stays around

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

And we still lost the penalty count. There has to be a prize for that at the end of the year, surely.

Edit: Sorry, read the stats wrong, we won the penalty count today, but we still should get a prize.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Parker was outstanding. Doesn't bode well for Brian.

Great to have options. Parker was really good, which shouldn't surprise anyone who's watched him develop over the last couple of seasons. What really impressed me today was his toughness. He was targeted and whacked (legally and illegally) all day and really stood up.

 

[COMMANDER]

That was ok.

Did I see right, the phone was livestreaming to Mr Bulmer in hospital

They are a very strong team. We have a way to go to get to the same level.

About an hour and 20 minutes!!!!

About an hour and 20 minutes!!!!

I still stand by that statement. Roosters were not at their best and have a few top players on the sideline. We played bloody well though.

Some of you nancies will stop doubting me .... Parker is a keeper!!!

I've never doubted you with Parker, he's a tough one, absolutely brilliant stuff from him today. In Woodsie we trust

 

[COMMANDER]

He did. And it would've been a lot better without the other idiot putting his bit in.
Checcin would've been quite capable to ref that on his own.

Was watching the Workers go around and was thinking how good the Ref was and it was because there was only one ref.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

I panicked lol but happy with that. The roosters are simply nothing without Friend and Cordner.

Weird that Taukieaho played only 16 minutes, last week they were comparing him to Taumololo.

I still stand by that statement. Roosters were not at their best and have a few top players on the sideline. We played bloody well though.

Although we had some vital players on the sidelines as well, siro's defence and hard runs, taufua's huge workrate and solid runs taking us out of our end

 

[KOMORI]

Very, very happy with that result.

Boys stood up after getting pantsed pretty badly the last few games.

You can only play against who they put in front of you.

Huge improvement on recent weeks.Why didn't we play like this last week and the week before?Heads were probably on the chopping block this week I would say. I just hope we don't take our foot off the pedal next week.We still need to tighten up in defence a little to match the storm and some other sides but a fine win by the boys.Our road to the finals looks good and there should be no reason we can't make the finals this year.Much better than last year anyway.
