Hope taufua is ok, will be a bad loss, hopefully turbo can get back soon so we can have Wright move to his wing should he be out long-term

Think it goes to show why Api is picked instead of Hastings defence wise anyway

Yes, although we must remember that Hastings (who did well!) came on at just about the worst time possible

The maid needs a talking too.

Don't get me started on that! So true dude.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Have a feeling Horhay might be gone for a very long time, hope I'm wrong but it looked very bad!

Great win boys ... To the negative nancys that post , always remember never give up on the mighty seaeagles. Its quite funny, and i know its an opinion site , but there is a couple that don't give us much of a chance even against the lower sides and jump back on the bandwagon when we win . It might not be us this year, but it might. Just remember that and be optimistic. Cheers.

That's a hugely important win in the context of this season. Lose that and we slip out of the 8 in all probability.... By winning it against a fair amount of odds we are nicely placed going into the back half of the season.

Hopefully Jorge is ok!

Not confident that Api would've banged the ball onto DCE's chest as quickly and sharply as Hastings did for the field goal attempt either.

Do we have a problem? First half leads. Second half squander. But a win is a win, I'll take it with a smile. Just hope we learn how to put teams away soon. Building for sure.

I agree but put the umbrella up. The **** storm is coming.

Brilliant win, anyone who complains about us scoring one point in the second half knows nothing about football. The Raiders (the most dangerous Attacking side in the NRL ) had ALL the momentum from the start of the second half, most of the ball. And received a bullsh1t call that overturned a fair, match sealing try to AFB. That win was all heart, and the boys defended their hearts out. DCE won that game with his tactically perfect kicking game. Best win of the year imo, based purely on heart, desire and overcoming adversity. Manly spirit on show for the entire competition today.

yeah that afb try was definitely a try taupau barely touched elliot whitehead and he wouldn't of made a difference as the play was past him. I couldn't believe they gibbed us there.

side note is it me or does gaznier really hate us. You could tell he wanted us to lose he's a disgrace and why do we always get him? give us Ennis he's only bias to sharks

A wonderful pass - classy play and both players cool as cucumbers!

 

[The Eagle Eye]

Greenhouse is blowing up about Paulo dropping the ball, suck it up losers.

 

[Michael Clare]

Canberra were good in the second half, but no penalties for Manly in the second half made things pretty tough. I thought Canberra held us down very effectively without being penalised. Find it hard to believe we didn't deserve a penalty or two in the second half, and Croker looked like he milked that penalty at the end very nicely - hence DCE's comments to him. Felt so sorry for Jorge - it looked just like the Greg Inglis injury.

Both Titans and Rabbits were put away in the last month...

How Gasnier has a job in media is beyond me ,Dumb as dog****.

That really was a huge win, realistically we should annihilate the knights next week, then with a bye the following week after that we will be on 20 points on the ladder and will be sitting likely in the top 4 or very close to it. Also means that we would have picked up 10 straight competition points by the end of it. Titans win, bye, raiders win, knights win (presumably), bye

We really have gone under the radar, woooo

 

[MadMarcus]

And it's at Blottoland as well, an added concern!!

However we should lap them!

We didn't pretty well considering we had the home ground disadvantage

 

[skull61]

Fuk those refs for afb call. Anyway we win, goal kicking bites us on arse again.
Siro best game in manly colours, what a joke the 10 metres and hold down.
Dce let's hope the idiots north of border keep ignoring him.

Might have been a bs call but they call those all the time now Marty just has to take 2 more steps to get through the defensive line and it's a try

YES.From where I was standing at the game we need to do something about our second half performances.This was a very needed win for us but we are lacking in the second half.Would love a few more of our players to have some really good head space in the second half of our games.We need to be a tad more professional in our game.Great win though and on to next week.
