Game Day: Manly v Penrith [Round 12, 2020]

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Oh Lordy I do like a chicken pie. Have never been able to perfect though.

Hahaha its only a Woolworths one nothing special

 

[HoldenV8]

Another thing we cannot be hard on Garrick and Suli. The ball never gets past Sironen! A few times I was yelling let it go to Suli.

The one time it did get further than Siro or Suli was when DCE put Garrick down the wing and it was only good defence from the fullback that stopped a try.

 

[Will on the hill]

Seems Des is picking Croker for his reliability and Croker is doing his best to prove him wrong.

 

[SeaEagle007]

Hopefully Des Wakes up and puts cust in 5/8 and walker in centres..

 

[Simonmyers11]

I guess we really can't blame Dez for picking Walker, he was fit and has not re-injured the foot, sounds like a new injury. Toe?

Not picking Cust though

 

[NZEaglesFan]

I am not drunk yet so it will be a painful 40 minutes.

 

[Nordburg]

Another thing we cannot be hard on Garrick and Suli. The ball never gets past Sironen! A few times I was yelling let it go to Suli.

Sironen is forever cutting back inside

 

[mave]

Dogs would just about give Cust a starting spot for the term of his natural life.

Given what has happened tonight, is it any surprise he wouldn't be happy.

 

[wescliffy]

We will not make the 8 with this team
Outside backs defense is shot
The whole team and coaching staff need a broom through them, just piss poor
This will get ugly, I feel 50 by full time ,

 

[Dan]

So wait Croker is so bad that jake is playing 5/8?

 

[Rackets]

Sutton won't give us six again might as well keep kicking it into a panther player

 

[Simonmyers11]

Suli first run almost goes thru

 

[Daddycool]

Geez it’s very hard not to be critical of Croker. A long pass to a winger is always a risk of being intercepted. I can’t help but think a better player doesn’t make that mistake.
Aside from that though, their heads just aren’t in the game. Yes Penrith are a good side and are playing well but we aren’t offering much resistance at the moment.
Some sort of drama must have happened during the week. Cust getting dropped when the team and he is playing so we’ll to rush Walker back into the starting side? Something isn’t right there. Of course he then gets injured and leave us short. It’s not Walkers fault but Des is responsible for this debacle.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Tom cannot come back quick enough

 

[The Royal Soup]

Fuk the ref

 

[Lyle]

What a waste. It’s crucial we capitalise on any possession and field position. Not a good start to the 2nd half

 

[Dan]

So shoulder charge.is now fine, double movement fine, momentum stopping in the tackle not a thing

 

[Simonmyers11]

Well done Elliot. Get to the grd

 

[Chip and Chase]

Another quality line bending kick return

 

[joeboy]

Elliot is 100% spud and we got a whole sack of them in our backs
