Game Day: Manly v Rabbids [Round 4, 2019]

[Shoe1]

This is the intro to Margie Mcdonald’s Article in the nrl website:

“
Incumbent Origin halfbacks Daly Cherry-Evans and Nathan Cleary kicked their clubs to victory in golden point thrillers less than 24 hours apart but Manly's skipper insists he wasn't out to mimmick Penrith's playmaker.”

Yes it says “mimmick”.

For future reference Margie it is “mimic”

The calobear of germalists is explorable these days.. what kind of spanglish is “mimmick”?!?!

The vermin beat us in every stat except 1 (missed tackles). We have the least missed tackles of any side so far. That is a telling stat. Des has worked hard on what was a weak leaky Barrett defense.

Think you forgot about the only stat that matters 13-12

Did you see sloth yelling at his team mates at the end after the field goal, they all hit the ground like a sack of spuds and he was doing his nut only one player had the balls to go shake Dces hand at that point and say good kick

Who is sloth?

Think you forgot about the only stat that matters 13-12

I agree that that's all that matters in the end. But from last season and the season before that when we were maissing tackles at an alarming rate, to have the least conceeded in the entire comp is a huge improvement in structure and attitude. Hopefully leads to a lot more 'stats that matter' in the future

On Monday, after 17yrs living in sth Sydney I finally returned home to the beaches.

Today we took our son to his first live manly game and also joined by our very good friends and Souths fans from zetland.

Great day out and even better with a win. Will remember this one forever

Wanted to take my boy, but he is an a grade **** and I had to fix some stuff at my folks so didn't make it down.

He enjoyed watching it from my folks house though

The happiest place on earth

I couldn’t get enough of the crowd shots in the background when DCE kicked the FG. You live for moments like that.

We can nickname him Hindy with that effort.

Haha he chose the jeans rather than his eagle shorts. Kids have excuses, Hindy didn't

 

[eggson]

Thanks friends. The missus got plenty of better pics. Some rabbits players came over and he got some hi fives, then got spooked by everyone coming to the fence so we moved back past the benches by the time the manly lads came round.

 

[wombatgc]

Gunna have to drop a cpl Stilnox I think. Still buzzing like a five year old full of red cordial.

 

[Normie]

I was in the air between Canberra & Brisbane when the game was on although got to see DCE kick the winning field goal whilst on the tarmac. Just watched the replay on Fox & must say what a beast AFB is & how well the team went after Turbo went off. Makes the start of my week on the Goldie so much better

 

[Ryan]

Only just started sobering up from the game . What a game! Outstanding.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Watched the game late last night, just read through a few pages of this topic now

All I can say it thank **** the blokes in the jumper have more ticker than some of people posting during the game !! Lol, some outrageous comments at times

Jake, near the best effort I have seen from a manly forward, inspirational.
AFB unbelievable, unstoppable
I’ve seen Elliott bagged and I just don’t get it, He is barely putting a foot wrong being bounced around a couple of positions, a huge step up from Matt Wright whose spot he has taken in the squad
Elgey getting hammered, I didn’t think he was that bad, he looked pretty good involved with a few shapes we were running and they will improve over time
Parker still makes me nervous anytime he touches the pill, but gives his all which is all you can ask if he gets chucked out there
Taufua is another who cops a pasting who has had a prettt good start to the year, looking secure under the high ball

 

[nightster]

Who compiles the stats on this thread?

 

[Cameron]

Seriously has Jorge had a double hand transplant. They targeted him with the high ball and he was very safe. He has a lot to offer but it was one glaring flaw in his game. Let’s hope he’s fixed it forwever
