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

[Pablo]

I agree with some comments there manly didn’t see out the game
But certain ref calls killed us we got some calls but the the calls that count didn’t go our way

I get what you're saying but really, Canberra basically handed us that game with error after error at the end there. We only have ourselves to blame for not getting it done.

 

[Nice Beaver]

The better centres in the game are either faster or more physical and stronger . The NRL is a definitely a >>>"POWER"<<< game .

Gee I wish that dud, Kelly had more speed and power. He is such a hack........
lol

 

[HappilyManly]

That is bullsh1t. We were not. We got slogged by the officials. One try off the player being out into touch another off a blatant forward pass/offside combo and a player in the bin out of the blue

Plus Hodko in the bin for ????

 

[MuzztheEagle]

Surely Tom won't be picked for origin now. The last thing the kid needs now is more pressure.

 

[Sue]

Badly coached. No structure . Talented individuals roaming the field. Do we ever have a plan. ? No

 

[damiennp90]

You can say the refs were crap.

But the raiders gave us every chance to win that game.

I agree. Surely Tommy can't be picked.

 

[Nordburg]

Better service from dummy half and they ice that game

 

[HoldenV8]

Our line speed in defence sucks.

How is it that every other team seems to be able to put pressure on a field goal kicker, including killing most of our attempts, yet we can't seem to get off the line to shut down an attempt? I know we did stop one attempt, but that was out of marker....our line got absolutely nowhere near it.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Like I said, 2 tries off very obvious wrong calls in the 1st half, then the last try off the forward pass.

Starting to hate this game.

If this were Melbourne, the league World would be blowing up.

And the commentators made absolutely no mention of it !!

 

[Bubbler]

Sack Barrett!

 

[XV-1]

That is bullsh1t. We were not. We got slogged by the officials. One try off the player being out into touch another off a blatant forward pass/offside combo and a player in the bin out of the blue

Can't blame the refs for that loss.

Canberra gave us the ball 4 times in Canberra's half in the last 8 minutes. We did nothing to ice the game.

.

12 points gifted to Raiders incorrectly. The refs were crap.

 

[killerspud]

Hmmm DCE did not manage the last 10min and this is the problem with him and why he gets criticised, times like that a leader gets his troops to lift. I still think taking the 2 points with 20 to go reflected our mind set.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

On the plus side, good to see Jorge back and making his usual strong carries. One dodgy call against him for an incorrect play the ball, but otherwise a solid return.

 

[Technical Coach]

Defence and effort keeps you in games but smarts, structure and composure under pressure wins games. At least the team is embracing the grind, enjoying the challenge and not falling away as noticeably as earlier in the season----will stand Manly in good stead for next year.

 

[Nordburg]

Winterstein is stealing a living.He defends like he’s still playing rugby 7’s.Doesnt move up or commit in the line,causing confusion for the players outside.

 

[HoldenV8]

Look, the refs did suck but the fact is that we had plenty of opportunities to ice that game more than 10 minutes out and we blew it. Then we handed Canberra the keys and let them in the front freaking door.

 

[SeaEagle21]

I thought we brought in Hodko to control the game. Where were the repeat sets or kicks into goal. So many wrong options on 5th tackle today.

I know they came close and it’s been a tough 4 weeks away from home but we needed to keep that momentum going.

 

[Ryan]

And the commentators made absolutely no mention of it !!

Yep, none. Am I wrong? Was that last pass to the try a metre forward? Or am I seeing things?

 

[Frogz]

Can't blame the refs for that loss.

Canberra gave us the ball 4 times in the Canberra's half in the last 8 minutes. We did nothing to ice the game.

Raiders were gifted 12 points when we really should of got the ball back. Don't care about anythng nelse that happened, they should not of got the points.
