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

[HoldenV8]

Ponga is like the red headed step child. You wish you didn't have to notice he was there.

 

[HK_Eagle]

WTF was Jake thinking? Holds down a player completely unnecessarily on the 4th tackle on half way to give away a repeat set. And how many times are we going to give away points right on or right after half time. Jake, that was on you. Dumb beyond belief from a senior player

 

[killerspud]

Thanks Jake, love him but my goodness he gives some away, needs to get that out of his game, so frustrating.

 

[Rackets]

Horsehead again....

 

[grassy]

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

 

[simon64]

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

 

[Simonmyers11]

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

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

This ref is such an arrogant **** hair! He is giving them the game. Bs repeat sets all in crucial spots and he gives us one on tackle 1... no accountability at all

 

[Bomb Voyage]

Yeah this season is cooked we don’t have it in us

 

[robbiea]

Crocker is certainly better and quicker than Levi at ball distribution

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

 

[Steve76]

Another half giving our milliom dollar half a lesson.

 

[Peter C]

What about Metcalfe? Or is he fullback?

Is he a first grader?

 

[XV-1]

How can u intentionally try to catch a footy with one hand?

 

[NYEagle]

Fluke try by a crap team. The only reason Newcastle is in front is Manly have no clue in attack.
FFS when you spread the ball along the chain pass it , too many balls stop at Crocker.

We win this easily 2nd half but need Parker and Suli to pull their fingers out. They look very rusty and are getting poor service from the other players.

[mave]

Absolutely stupid.
We have done nothing but defend all game, and then he gives away a restart on tackle 4.....tackle fun 4.

**** me.

 

[Tomay]

Our intent is much better this week but we are suffering from lapses in concentration and dumb plays. Pearce is killing us, we really need to get some pressure on his kicks from marker - it's an area we are very poor at.

Hopefully we settle a bit and get some possession in the second half. Suli with some early ball would be nice.

 

[HoldenV8]

The sad thing is right now, we are beating ourselves with ill discipline and mistakes.

Newcastle aren't playing that well. We are just giving them chances.

 

[Spartan Eagle]

Hasler better rip them a new one at halftime.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Can put that try down to Jakes poor discipline holding down in the ruck on the 4TH tackle. Jake really needs to improve on his discipline and energy.

 

[eagleron]

God that’s a killer just like last week

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