Game Day: Manly v Knights [Round 8, 2018]

[malroon]

Marty Taupau....hands of soap tonight.

tonight ????? try EVERY game..!!!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

If Trent is serious brown can't be our hooker all season

No he’s bringing in Jono Wright for that!!

 

[Sue]

Yep. Kapow started great thinking run not pass but fell into old habits late in the half. It’s not rocket science for these blokes. Control the ball and win. Frustrating .

 

[Class of 96]

Penalties and dropped balls , nothing has changed for 4 weeks now!

We are leading. That’s a change.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

We should have had at least six extra points from easy penalties - including the first opportunity where Croker tried to score. Taken that goal shot, Oldcastle probably don’t score their try in the ensuing play.

You’re down on form and confidence, so build confidence by putting easy points on the board.

Could be up 12-0 at halftime.

 

[nightster]

Is there something seriously wrong with marty.Just drop him I’m over his butter fingers.

up until that last dropped ball I thought he was playing pretty well

 

[Chip and Chase]

The only good thing out of that first half was the intent for the forwards to hit the line and shelve the offloads. Started promising on the completions but then went to crap.

We’ll see what captain lap dance has up his sleeve to lift this side and actually conjour up a win. I want to see some back to wall manly spirit here. We are down on troops, I won’t be surprised if wright doesn’t come back either, that shoulder rocked him.

 

[EagleFlys]

I'm on wife delay, about 10 mins behind now - sorry for comments being well after the play.

 

[nightster]

time for a redemption story

 

[sheridanstand78]

Indiscipline and disrespect for the ball are killing us! I've just seen the dumbest ten minutes against a side down a man. We are not learning !!

 

[Class of 96]

I miss about 15 mins can someone tell me why Walker and Kelly are on the same side?

Team bonding

 

[Clay]

Act of God, had to intervene and take Crocker out hence the reshuffle

I heard Croker got injured. But I still don't understand how that affects the back 5

 

[HappilyManly]

I miss about 15 mins can someone tell me why Walker and Kelly are on the same side?

Same as last week.

Moved Uate to LHS to stop the bombs on our right.
Only two black guys who can't jump our Walks and Uate

 

[mickqld]

Walker taken out when going to catch that cross kick. Blinkered refs again.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Well I’m guessing TBaz has zero choice now, he has to chose Hastings next week and if he doesn’t then most of us will be on the @strone33 bandwagon!!

He will elevate the young hooker manui( is that how spell it ) Api to 5/8

 

[Turbo4Life]

trent has to put hastings at 5/8.

When asked in last weeks press conference how his relationship was with jackson, chez said it is fine. Well then trent stop ****ing around and bring in jacko

 

[Clay]

You never want to see a guy injured but blessing in disguise I think

 

[niccipops]

I like the energy and though mistakes are being made the team is trying and committed.
If a Manly boy goes to the bin we are toast.
As it stands, 50/50 in this.
The obstruction rule is one I don't understand. Sometimes okay. Sometimes not.
Manly not.
Fkers!

 

[Fibro Eagle]

You can tell we play with no confidence just one out stuff
The few times we have offloaded or 2nd phase we start looking ok but go back to the one out stuff

 

[davohan123]

Very poor effort live
No atmosphere what 's so ever
Feel for locky was playing ok tonight
If we lose this I really can see us getting the spoon.
Fire up lads
Any win will do tonight
Penalties are killing us
Knowing us we will lose this in the last 5 minutes just our luck
