Game Day: Manly v Raiders [Round 12, 2018]

[globaleagle]

Sheesh

Some losses leave me annoyed/angry.

Some I think "we'll ok, totally outplayed but we have 11 players injured..." (eg)

But this one kinda left me deflated.

I'm sure the players are as well and will really nail the win next week. (not a mfb #nextweek either)

 

[Ralphie]

Due to Walker's ego, we were 2 first graders short tonight

You missed the word immaturity too.

 

[Woodsie]

The ball was forward though lol---just my pet hate with the over application or justifying a forward pass with a scientific answer when in 98% of all such incidents a player is not running fast enough or straight enough to allow a ball to have 1-2mtres of forward momentum behind it.

correct .... I have heard a commentator say "it floated" forward when a player has been stationary, or as you say, running sideways at jogging pace .... you also need to factor in, that if a ball is genuinely passed backwards .... the force applied in a backward motion should diminish all but the fastest running pass ...

Is a tough loss to come to terms with , Manly [ over all ] seemed to do enough to deserve to get the points but again just couldn "t seal it and how many times has that occurred this season. The biggest problem in these types of games still seems to be adequately numbering off in those outside defensive situations [and Uate is not the only one at fault ] and even with Hodko there , still some direction less attack . Also with A P I in the middle last night , their quick and troubling play the ball runs would have been largely nullified . Had to be impressed with Thompson"s full on effort and performance , Tom is still our best attacking weapon and a brilliant effort and try by Kelly [ who was also strong in defence ] Really crucial point was when the bunker did not over rule the wrongly attributed in goal touch by Uate [ what prevented them is anyone"s guess ] Just the lost opportunity for three wins on the trot is also really a big disappointment apart from the failure to close out and properly manage last night "s match when again it was easily there for the taking.

I quoted a job day before yesterday in Gladstone here and the owner is a manly supporter so we got talking about the game in Gladdy and I asked him if he went. He said he did but then he said he was at the airport when they arrived and between him and a few others had the team to themselves. He approached DCE and shook his hand along with a group of others but when Walker was approached Walker was not happy. For some unknown reason he gave him the cold shoulder. I get the feeling Walker is in a world of his own. Immaturity is probably the correct term. The owner reckon he deserved the black eye. Doing the job on Monday.

There you go...

And it's from an Englishman! "Relative velocity"

Refs always fall for the last section where the passer gets tackled...his forward momentum is stopped and the nob goblins rule foooorwaaaaard!

I like it ... but in each instance the player passing actually had forward velocity ....

You had me at... "I like it"


(yep, I know what you are sayin' just been waiting to post that for ages. - actually...I just realised I posted this about 3 years ago.)

Carry on

Still in the NT bush camp. I drove 15km to get weak phone reception from an Aboriginal community in the area.
Standing in there swatting mosquitoes & risking buffalo attack I watched the score changes.
After Kelly scored I was going to drive back to camp, but wait...?
It’d break your ‘jam tart’.
The things you do to follow a team, eh.

We should form a therapy group.
Maybe ST is it? 🙂

Just having a look at last night's highlights and something struck me.

In the play where Hodko was sent to the bin, not only were their no prior warnings from the refs that "the next player's in the bin", but at no stage during the actual play did they warn Hodko not to get involved because he was offside (not that he really got involved anyway, Rapana ran around him fairly easily). The binning just seemed to come out of the blue like the NRL have this edict that all games must have at least one sin-bin and they picked that one.

Considering the things we have seen players binned for this year, that was an extremely soft call.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming that or the other poor decisions they made for the reason we lost. I think we lost that all on our own because we had plenty of opportunity to ice the game and didn't get the job done. But once we got to a 14-2 lead the refereeing did seem to take on a lime green flavour.

Either way it was a disappointing loss because we really could have and should have won.

I met Walker and you could not meet a more nice guy and your mate in Gladstone deserves a black eye 😉

I'm still that sad I'm going to drink a bottle of Spanish wine and listen to sad songs on youtube.

Wait! I've already drunk a bottle of red Spanish wine. It was from Spain (that's for @Woodsie)

But I posted I was going to do it and I've done it and now my secret as a time traveller is out in the open. Unless space time folded back on itself and then open is in fact squashed.

This multi dimensional existence is hard to keep track of. or should I say loop of? ah hahahahah loop! (Get it? a bit of time traveller humour there...or is it here....oh stop it global)

Who's on first?

Go Manly!

 

[Mitch]

You always reflect on hypotheticals after a loss like that and one that again should have been pulled up was Austin’s deliberate knock on to finish the game. Within the rules a deliberate knock on should result in a penalty to the opposition, which would have meant a 50m penalty goal opportunity.

 

[Mitch]

Isn’t old mate Todd copping it after this tweet re officials haha!

 

[globaleagle]

Manly seem to hire coaches that don't use the full bench.

Not saying this is why we lost but does anyone know if other teams only use three out of the four available interchange guys?

I just don't understand not giving all...in this case Sipley... a few minutes somewhere in the game.

Is there some amazing reason I am missing?

**** ****ety **** ****! (oops)

 

[Simonmyers11]

Watched the replay on nrl.com

We did actually set up the shot for FG well for trent. Just missed the kick unfortunately. Dce's shot well, the raiders were well off side. Should have been a penalty. Would of won us the game

Yea I met him too and thought he was a dick head. By the way the guy in Glady is not a mate of mine he was the owner off a house that gave me a job. Just telling everyone what he told me. If you can see a quote of mine saying he was a mate please post it. Like I said I met him too and to me he was areal dick head. Certainly not in the class off many fine manly players who have gone before.

I apologize for miss reading your post . I am also disappointed that he gave you a negative impression . Maybe you got him on a bad day as we all have our days but he was fine with me . I don't think anyone deserves a black eye because they don't reciprocate to us . Each to their own .
