Game Day: Manly v Raiders [Round 8, 2017]

[HappilyManly]

That left side for Canberra are a disgrace and add tapine to that list. I'm a kiwi and embarrassed by how those crumbs conduct themselves. Rapana has fully bought into the hype around him kicking and carrying on like a muppet every time he gets tackled. That leulua looks like he's intellectually impaired and has always been a dirty sod. Was blowing up at that pair all night. That may be the most satisfying win in the last 3 years. My 6 year old was literally flapping his arms like an eagle around the house after that won just going berserk. Go manly!!!!!!

Your kid is not alone - my neighbours all know that a Manly game was on tonight

My Flag was at the ready for a well deserved win - Maaanly!

Some big performances by the forwards tonight always getting us on the front foot led by marty. Tom was again great and loved walkers passion. We are still building. A bit off in the attack and 5th tackle options but coming from behind to win in golden point is massive. What a huge huge morale boost!

 

[Ryan]

Flame the MOFO's I knew we would go close, but to win was unbelievable. Defence was the key, something @Ryan does not quite understand. It was the first time I seen a game plan from Trentsta!

I don't think it's Trent's gameplan that has let us down in games wombat at home. I think it's lapses in defense (mainly), and sometimes poor discipline. I know everyone is carping on our right side defense, but I think both our flanks have improved exponentially (even since Dessies days - remember Wolfy always charging in).

I've always said through my ups and downs, the quality is there. It's the ability to play for 80 minutes consistently.

What an awesome ****ing performance from the boys!

Fonua-Blake - 16 runs/ 171m

Taupau - 17 runs/171m

J.Trbojevic - 20 runs/171m + 32tackles

Myles - 10runs for 138m

Winterstein - 121m

The whole team was overly impressive. So many standouts.

Lewis Brown a try assist. WTF?

My nerves are shattered for now, but looking forward to some Rabbit stew next Friday and some major payback from round 2.

See what happens when our forwards rip in. Fuk me why can't they do it at home. Get us the meters and the backs can do some damage. I love Uate. He's giving every hitup a 100%

 

[Simonmyers11]

Would love to see more hastings time. Even a possibility down the track i reckon to start with hastings get the attack firing. Give him a rest at 30min mark and bring on api and his running around the ruck and passion. Then bring back on hadtings with 20min to go.

You know nothing about rugby league! absolutely nothing.

Finally someone says what most already know.

I have been seeing a game plan or more correctly a playing pattern since week 2. But it takes months not weeks to become ingrained and effective. This team is building but there will be more ups and downs to come. Go Manly.

 

[Ryan]

Love his passion, he just needs to channel it in the right direction.

That's the thing, eh. His passion is infectious. We are at our best, when we look like we are having heaps of fun.

Sidenote - was Sironen hooked tonight? He's been playing 80 hasn't he?

Interesting.

 

[Kevinward777]

I really thought we were going to lose tonight. The wins that are the most unexpected always make the weekend so much better.

Sorry, clarify...I seen the plan, but the execution was mmmmmm. I just came back from Vanuat so missed Melb and St G....I like ya woodsie.........today!

 

[niccipops]

I run the work tipping comp. Don't compete in it due to my Manly issues and NOBODY tipped us.
Losers!

 

[grassy]

Our wins have been away from home.We must be having one hell off a bus ride to the game.Talk about bonding.

Interesting.

I think he got injured - in fact he has been carrying an injury for a while.

Our forward ranks without Darcy, Brainbridge and the Resting One are a worry 😕

 

[Fluffy]

When was the last time that Manly won in extra time - super human effort

not sure, but the second last time was the first ever golden point and we beat Parra in 03

 

[HappilyManly]

Losers!

I did and also for AFB to score a try - there goes my $10 for his stumpy bloody arms 😡

You tipped us to lose...easily! Go to bed

Hope Darcy is back soon. Getting really conflicting reports from websites and things. Some say next week...some say 4 weeks or something !!

Yes you are right, experience is consistency and experience takes time, however, we have showed once again that we can be one of the best sides in the comp if we want to and are prepared to, can't and won't get over this win for some time

 

[BirdMan4ever]

OUTSTANDING & thanku boyz, hold your heads up high..
u have just won a big game against a hot team with big forwards.
u beat them across the park and the defence was a major improvement from last week.
tonight u showed that we will not be a walk over, we can match it with any team.
something great will come out of wins like that, the boyz will gel even more and the taste of that win will get them home in future tight games.
Thanks to the refs for not costing us that game also.
