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

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Said it last week, will say it again...

We don't have bulk points in us without Turbo, and to a lesser extent Walker, so we can't give cheap points away ,,,,,ever.

Jake T cost us 6 right on halftime with a BJ Leluia type dumb play.
There is the difference on the scoreboard.

Not to mention dce bonehead play to get sent off and then we were 8 points down.. thats the game. I agree jake fmd why

We didn't do nearly enough to win that one but FMD I'm over the fking refs & their inexplicable one eyed calls. The NRL need to sort themselves out - what a complete shower of sheite.

If anyone sees Warren Smith in public, please put one on his chin. I’ll pay the damages.

 

[robbiea]

And watch the ****ing Dragqueens lift next week and send us to 14th spot.

Don’t worry about seeing Alex Glenn crying it’ll be all of us after the next game.

I don’t think we can actually get better , we won’t win the spoon as there’s a few below us who are worse but we are seriously no where near the top 8.

Unfortunately ,I think you are right .
This rudderless ,captainless & attackless team is going to struggle to make the 8.

Had chances, also had sh!t luck.
No justice, Best going unpunished for pushing Funa. I was waiting for a penalty, at least.

 

[Technical Coach]

I thought we went alright considering the lack of known combinations out there. Close to two extra tries from those kicks and Knights where lucky to score their two tries.
Defense was good.
Funa played his best game and Cust should be five eight.

Funa doesn't offer much at all.

We need a back up fullback pronto... we were a class above the knights the entire second half except we had no strike player to score... put ponga in manlys backline tonite and we score atleast 3 tries.. garrick just dosent show up when he plays 1.. didn't spot him all night and having all the possession in the world dosent mean sh!t if you have no strike fullback doing the damage

 

[Dan]

So who got sent off? Isn't a send off an automatic suspension for next week?

Not that I know of. But Jake, AFB and DCE were all turfed.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

I've had an issue for years in the way they both hit the defensive line and the ineffectiveness of their second phase play.

Yes for 3 big boys marty afB and jake cant offload for **** anymore. Jake used to pop it up all the time he just REFUSES to now. We dont have 2nd phase play

 

[robbiea]

Why wouldn't we lift?

Because we didnt this week.

 

[Tomay]

Can’t believe people are bagging DCE? You’ve got to be kidding. Scored one and set up the other. Almost set up two more with the bombs that were disallowed. Troubled their edge all day. Saved at least one try against big Herman and tackled all game. Had the most kicking meters. What’s else do you guys want him to do?

 

[Jerry1]

I wish we'd kept Api.

Unfortunately ,I think you are right .

Currently bottom 4, at best

Can't blame him he's a winger. He was miles better tonight in D but yeah he offere nothing in attack not that we gave him any room to work with.. he has no passing game whatsoever. We are in big trouble

100% right complete pedestrian

From what I can see Elliot is having a personality mismatch otherwise there is no reason be should not be there

 

[mickqld]

Video ref/bunker call was a disgrace. The only reason the ref sent it upstairs was because he knew there was interference. It was never going to be a penalty try but it was a definite penalty. Difficult kick to level things up but we at least deserved a shot at it. I think the ref was as surprised as anyone.

So why didn't the cu*t give the penalty if he saw it. He's there closest, he knew it was an illegal take down so blow the fuking penalty. It was never going to be a penalty try so why go up to fukwit horsehead.

EDIT: robbiea got there first.

 

[Waz13]

I was tough on that horrid pass frm cust like all were. But fair go he dug I’m in that 2nd half. He will be at 6 next week and Croker to 14. Croker is good as a utility 14. Not a starter at all and neither is cust really but at least he ruffles a few feathers out there. That Atkins f$&@ed us all day. He didn’t need to send it up to the bunker. He saw what happened and knew it was a penalty. That’s how inept our refs are. Too scared or incompetent to make a call. It was never a try and gee knew it was a penalty, just didn’t want to make the call so hand balls it to that Gutless maggot in the box. And we all knew how that would end. He couldn’t have made the call quicker. Hopeless.

I thought Miski looked the goods last year.

Elliot offers more imo if he can be a team player
