Game Day: Manly v Knights [Round 8, 2016]

[brad]

I love killer and have come to the conclusion that this year will be his last . Im not writing him off for this year , he is an absolute champion but id hate to see him go on one year to many.

 

[globaleagle]

yay

we won

 

[manlyfan76]

It was crap. Rarely do I celebrate taking a dump...

But when you really, really need to. Splash down!!!!

 

[KOMORI]

Not if you want the game to flow - we had the Simms doing exactly the same thing and they weren't binned.
Happens in every game

Yeah I know.... Sims should have gone as well, but unless we pick him up on a mid season swap or something he's not gunna get in trouble....

Hmmmmmm...... We should swap Myles for Sims, that'd be awesomesauce

 

[Midnight Rambler]

Our forwards won us that game. They all made metres, they provided the intimidation factor in defence. Even Symonds played really well! But our backs look so confused, lost in fact. Walker is no five eighth. End this experiment already. Lyon will just have to suck it up, play 6, for the teams benefit. Walker to centre.

Myles carried 3 of them on his back a few meters in the second half - he is warming to the Manly task

Walker will most likely be fullback next week

Jake has won the ANZAC Medal for MOM today

Manly has also retained the Mal Reilly Trophy

 

[Woodsie]

The optimist in me says we just played our worst game all year and still won by 16 points.

The pessimist in me says ... there is no pessimist in me.

 

[mickqld]

I just want an explanation why the Donkeys and Cowsluts had repeated threats from refs to bin them the other night and we cop it for a guy that was unable to get up because the ball carrier was on top of him trying to milk a penalty.

Go Brayden, it wasn't pretty but that ones for you mate. You can keep the game ball. Guzzle guzzle guzzle/send it down the muzzle champ!!

The forwards won us that hands down. BJ continues his awesome 2016 form, along with strong games from Tapau, Jake T and Myles.

I think the attack is disjointed due to the constant injuries/reshuffling of the spine. Coupled with limited training sessions with the short turnarounds it's clearly a work in progress. But hey, 4/8 and we're in the top 8 I think. Not bad for a team that clearly hasn't got their sh*t together just yet. Go Manly!!

Jake got Mom. Whaton earth does BJ have to do to get the medal.

He came off the bench.

Yeah Nah calls the win terrific. Yeah Nah getting 2 points may be terrific. The way your team played is horrific. Not good enough after 8 weeks.

 

[niccipops]

Cowsluts

A new one. You never fail me.

C'mon DH, don't dream it's over.

Wait till you get to my age, lol

I'd prefer the Stockmen. However up there in Redneckland, Australian-sounding team names aren't marketable. Neither are Akubras. You only succeed if you doggedly ape the Gary Goobers in Qld.

1964 vintage here mate.
