Game Day: Manly V Raiders [Round 9, 2024]

[Will on the hill]

tom has dropped the ball 3 times

lame

He has dropped at least 2 easy catches every game since the Drags. Thought it was an anomaly but it's becoming a trend.

 

[eaglebuzz]

I'm happy enough with the half but we should have scored another 20 points.

 

[weagle]

Not too bad. We are trying to play so dropped ball is going to happen. Just needed to be a bit more patient a few times

 

[davohan123]

We are not playing great
way too many errors
but raiders are playing worse
just get the 2 points and move on
glad just to get the win
will be 32-16 scoreline

 

[bob dylan]

I'm happy enough with the half but we should have scored another 20 points.

WE cant complain 2 of our tries were pot luck.

It could be 10-6.

 

[Jerry1]

The raiders have been pants so far.

In dry weather footy raiders would be down by a lot more
weather has been kind to them tonight

 

[HK_Eagle]

Sounds like a C- performance so far

We show class all over the field compared to Canberra, but… still show lack of patience, reluctant to get in the grind, poor game management, and no respect for the ball. Lucky run of decisions our way in the first 20-30 minutes gave us a glut of possession, which has probably gassed the raiders a bit.

 

[LeonardCohen]

Elliot whitehead querying the ref about a hip drop. He should know all about it, he was the biggest proponent of the hip drop in the game a few years ago.

Yeah he invented it. I remember he was responsible one of the very few injuries DCE has suffered in his career. It was Brookie around 2017, when he hip dropped and put our captain out of action for about 6 weeks.

That’s a very common comment this season “get the 2 points and move on”,unfortunately

Probs went too easy on the sticky spray after the incident last game

 

[niccipops]

They need to stop the trying to score off every play mentality. Chill out. More talent on our side. Use it wisely.

 

[double hoops]

That pass from Brooks for Turbos try was Cliffyesqe Priddy.

No patience,yet have a captain in his 14th season of first grade

 

[eagleron]

Is Voss annoying anyone else?

That pr*ck does nothing but annoy me, someone must have told him years ago that he was funny and it's gone to his head 😡😡

 

[HK_Eagle]

I'm happy enough with the half but we should have scored another 20 points.

Hopefully, we go on and get the W, but you can just as easily see us lose it after momentum and luck swings back the other way.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Manly all the ball and refs calls

we should be up more

I wish for once we would play direct down the middle with fast play the balls

but instead we are trying to score with every play and look frantic, tom dropping the ball like the dragons game

Croker has been very poor once again, slow and sloppy passes which i’m totally over

get lawton on

 

[LeonardCohen]

We should focus on defence and a simple game plan in the second half to get this win. If we go out and try and hit the 50, I worry we will let Canberra into the game through errors.

 

[DanielTurbo888]

I'm guessing a 42-16 win for us if we can get some decent plays happening

 

[Sheikheagle]

Yeah he invented it. I remember he was responsible one of the very few injuries DCE has suffered in his career. It was Brookie around 2017, when he hip dropped and put our captain out of action for about 6 weeks.

Big Pappy milked that one badly, involved in the next two plays.
