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

[HK_Eagle]

That strip of DCE was a bit lucky for them I thought @strone33 .

I'd be interested to get some clarification on the strip rule. I understand the officials deemed that the first tackler had fallen off before the second player came in to strip it. However, I'm sure I have seen the same scenario happen before and penalised. I could be wrong.

That was an awesome win and definitely a true indication of where we stand now coming into the home stretch of the season!!!!

Apart from the first 10 minutes we started the game a little on the rusty side but we did well to remain in the contest especially considering the blatant forward pass down the touchline that lead to a try.

18-4 up the roosters , then we upped the tempo, forcing them into making errors with our relentless defence and they never had a hope in hell of getting back into the game once we got on a roll!!!

Hard to believe when there is a bloody line there for the Ref to do a quick visual calculation

I think by and large they've given up on forward passes.
One of my pet hates along with the crappy play the balls.
That roosters dummy half thought he was Aaron Rodgers.

What a fantastic comeback and win , one of the best that i have ever seen from a Manly side. Just a spirited and gutsy effort and performance. Great teamwork . goal line defence and just playing for each other so well again . Just some edge and general defence to brush up a bit and they are surely more then back in business as a serious and competitive final" s team. The great result actually had me feeling quite emotional . i must admit, at the end of the match . Certainly hope that it is good tonic to make Ryan"s and Niccipops difficult week feel a bit better and good also that it was a special result for Eagle Heart and her Mum

Baz said in the presser that they are 50-50 calls.

Turbo has to learn to wrap his free arm around the ball once he is tackled though.
The 1 on 1 strips happen to him regularly 🙁

The second marker was never called offside, yet he was always to the right of the ruck.

Poor Api tried to get a few penalties by running into them, but the Refs ignored their offside markers

Watching the game now (much less stressful). A couple of points:

1. Take out their strip try and the forward pass for their last, much better winning margin for us.

2. Can they update the music playlist during stoppages of play? I thought I was back in 1986.

We were too good for the refs today. They tried hard but we even won the penalty count we were that good.

I thought that strip try was 100% a fair try but really unfortunate for us. DCE nearly pulled off a bit of brilliance but his foot wasn't quick enough to get down in the in-goal. He then did some good work in breaking through a tackle before Mitchell got him one on one. Unfortunately breaking the previous tackle left him vulnerable and Latrell had favourable body positioning to pull off a one-on-one strip.

The music was advertised as part of the Retro Round experience 🙂

That was a lucky win and not a true indication

We started the game with more of the same

18-4 up the roosters went to sleep, we were lucky they kept making errors and never got back into the game

Although then again, two of the roosters tries were lucky, one was a strip (which was fine, although soft) and one was a clear forward pass. Scoring 32 unanswered points against the roosters is brilliant, especially considering their solid defence. I don't think they really fell asleep i reckon we just decided to put them to sleep

The performance today and lovely afternoon on the hill with 6 mates has almost given me the will to start posting again on silvertails.

Dohhh...

The Goosters always shut off at some point in a game, and thats we're we got them . They barely play a full 80.

Ah, nothing like basking in the glory of a superb well deserved victory.

There's no shame admitting you went off half cocked and made a goose of yourself mate.

 

[midsteyne]

Twin turbos, full boost.anything is possible and I think they have still got more horsepower to unleash.how good was that.

 

[Kevinward777]

How did they miss that forward pass down the touchline in the first half?

Roosters are allowed at least one mandatory forward pass that leads to a try against Manly on every occasion.

 

[globaleagle]

Hooray! Great win.

Wait...I didn't see the second half and they scored 30 odd unanswered points??

-I am not a jinx

I swear most of the Manly boys don't know the victory song. lol The first couple of lines...then the guzzle guzzle guzzle bit!

Hope to find a replay somewhere and watch it in full!

woohoo

go Manly!



downside of winning is reading in this thread about a bunch of middle to old aged males and their erections! ewww. No one wants to read about something so small
