Game Day: Manly v Knights [Round 8, 2020]

[Nordburg]

Didn't need that. Contained them well until then. Would kill this side with Walker and Tom

I’d say they’d kill them with just Fainu

 

[davohan123]

atkins is giving us nothing.

we are not being allowed to play.

live at the ground we look good.

 

[manlyfan76]

How will newcastle go with a limited bench.
We really need to attack the side that Lee was on.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Six agains kill us. They just seem to be awarded whenever the mood strikes the ref.

It's pathetic. How many times in that half did they lay all over us, especially Parker but we got nothing?

 

[StuBoot]

Slack? Mate, Luc Longley would have had trouble getting that one, let alone Jorge.

Yes he's going OK, but that was a horrible mistake, especially considering we had them shot to bits out there.

Yep, shows the difference.
Panicked and went for the money ball on the 2nd tackle.
Just take the tackle ffs and reset.

 

[mickqld]

FMD they're beyond salvation this lot. Turbo will come back and all he'll manage us to save us from the spoon

 

[simon64]

Someone please tell Des at half time that we have Nothing in attack.We can’t keep defending like this all year when we have Zip in attack. It just won’t work Des.Wake up Des before it’s too late

!00%. We are so bloody ad hoc. Doesn't seem like there is a plan because all the plans centred around Tom.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Not true. That last one was as clear as day against Jake. Even as a one-eyed supporter I was shaking my head wondering what he was thinking of doing that

 

[Christol74]

How was that not a deliberate tap forward of the ball. He went up with one hand. You don't catch the ball with one hand, he deliberately tapped the ball over DCE.

 

[dowdz]

Is he a first grader?

Not sure. He looked good in the trials

 

[Simonmyers11]

We are fighting for it but they are slowing us down. Cannot buy a 6 to go or penalty

 

[Waz13]

They can’t get through us aside frm a jammy kick and a dive frm dummy half. Cust and Croker are basically the same player. They can tackle a bit but only look half decent when they cone on against tiring forwards. Do we have another option to wear 6? Honestly maybe tgat poster who mentioned Siro in the 6 could not onto something. Tgat pass from cust I’ve tge sideline on the first tackle was a game changing momentum shifter. Shocking!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

It’s not over yet but it’s not far from it !!

 

[TimmyQ]

Kurt Mann. One of the most improved players in the nrl.

Ure on the wrong forum mate. Try the next tab

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Apart from defence we look flat.We’ll be lucky to make the 8.

 

[eagleron]

Knights probably have at least 4 Hookers who are better than Levi.

They must have been delighted when we came knocking

 

[Waz13]

I'm already over this season, we'll be in the mix for the spoon before we see Turbo again, depression setting in

Not there yet eagleron. We were on top until cust three it over the sideline on the 1st!

 

[davohan123]

68 % 32% knights ball.

sorry i don't want to keep harping on about it but atkins is killing all our momentum.

All 50/50 calls going against us.

we look up for this game.

 

[mickqld]

So Klemmer goes for the half yet Marty and AFB gone after 20min

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

What a frustrating game to watch. Poor mistakes from us, Newcastle points, we get back into it, then yet again give up a soft try with 60 seconds to go before half-time. Unbelievable that we keep doing the same dumb things. If they score again right after the break - another one of our dumb habits - we'll have a hard time getting back into the game.
