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

[Pablo]

Why did he have to go back to the line when the ball was played 13 metres out?

 

[XV-1]

I don't understand. Raiders lie all over Manly players - no penalty.

Manly hold on half the time - penalty!!

WTF!! these refs r fuked.

We r missing Api and Walker big time.

If we control the ball, we win

Refs 12 Manly 14

Dont forget the 2 points they give us.

The first time ever penalty

 

[HK_Eagle]

Absolute Jekyl & Hyde stuff. Dominate first 20 and then fall in a hole for the second. Self-sabotaging at its best

 

[manlyfan76]

I hope twenty gets them up for the second half. Bit nervous.

 

[HappilyManly]

Poo has blown his comeback IMO 😎

 

[Ryan]

Their two tries came off dodgy calls.

1. Their players hand was out of play.
2. Taufua's play the ball was fine

 

[Clay]

I think the ref has been pretty good, no video ref either which is great.
Tafua penalty was harsh but he didn't call the Brown forward pass so it evens out

I said the same thing !!!!!!

I agree mate. But if we're any remote chance to make the top 8 we have to defend our mistakes and refs calls.

Funny but true. Lots of help to Canberra from the boys with the loud whistles and tight shorts.

 

[Nordburg]

Can we leave the refs fault for Ricky and the Raiders fans?

 

[double hoops]

I can't believe how slow Browny is looking. He wasn't even a speed bump. Can Matty Wright last the next 40 mins at hooker though!-(

 

[Clay]

Tommy didn't do Kell any favours there

Suprised not so see Bozo on here calling him weak

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Raiders standing offside most of that 1/2
Just don’t give them a chance against our right side manly should win out easly in the 2nd 1/2

 

[Nordburg]

Funny but true. Lots of help to Canberra from the boys with the loud whistles and tight shorts.

Penalties 6 all

 

[Ryan]

I agree mate. But if we're any remote chance to make the top 8 we have to defend our mistakes and refs calls.

If it were other teams, the commentators would be blowing up. As it's Manly, it's just yeah, move on. Annoys the **** out of me.

 

[Sue]

This is there to be won. Winterstein is a z grader. Uate is embarrassing . So much talent. So frustrating

 

[maxta]

That right edge defence needs to improve and Uate needs to stop rushing in....please stay on Cotric or he’ll get 4 tonight

 

[HK_Eagle]

Look, whatever call here or there we may not agree with it does not explain or excuse the second 20 cave in. That was just a mentally fragile team holding on by a thread. Extremely lucky, we are playing an equally fragile club or we could have paid big for it. Hopefully, we see them get back to basics and mentally toughen up for the second.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

They just showed the raider player with his arm on the line and the touchie is looking straight at it WTF

 

[Chip and Chase]

We need to tighten up the middle, they are making too many easy metres through the ruck. Just got to complete our sets and be disciplined in defence, try to slow it down as best we can but no silly penalties - not easy I know, it's a fine line. Their quick play the balls are killing us.

We look ok in attack. Hodko getting in at first receiver has been good, giving us a bit of game management. Tommy some good, some bad - needs not to overplay his hand.

C'mon guys I want to see Ricky cry at another presser and I want 17 guys in green jerseys hurting in the sheds.
