Game Day: Manly v Roosters [Round 9, 2018]

[Sillybus]

The real question is, why the **** did he not let it play on and then check it with the video ref after walker scores?

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Someone got the memo about taking the easy penalty shots.

If they had followed those tactics last week, they probably would have won it.

 

[Cliffymagic]

We getting screwed by the ref. But its our own 2 drop balls that lead to tries. Much better but very frustrating at the same time.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

I am swearing so often and so loudly at the television (mostly at Perenara) that I've had to close the balcony doors so my neighbours don't call the police.

 

[XV-1]

What Walks should have done is gone down, put the ball down for a try and ask for the video ref.

They were would have refused to go to the bunker.

 

[Turbo4Life]

Don't worry guys, Manly going into the second half with a good chance to win. We still have our game changer lewis brown fresh and ready to come into the action

 

[Jerry1]

Well, on a positive note we are at least competitive this week and well in the game. Great positive start before the AFB error coming out from our end following points. Then it crumbled somewhat, and with a number of things not going our way, we looked very brittle. Nevertheless, hung in there, probably helped by the Rorters not looking so great themselves.

First game for a while I’m confident we can win this.

 

[HoldenV8]

Give the ball to Suli or get him to dummy half ASAP

Suli seems good with the ball in hand, but he also seems a bit all at sea in defence. Thankfully the Chooks with Mitchell playing there haven't taken advantage.

 

[Kevinward777]

I don’t know if this is a good omen or not... Ladbrokes paid me out $450 when Manly went up by ten.

Perenara doesn't want to leave screwing us over to chance.

it's midnight here so I get to watch it with headphones and in complete silence.

 

[robbiea]

hooray, it's midnight!

[Chip and Chase]

Definite improvement from the last couple of weeks, but i'd kill for a half of footy where we don't give up 2 or 3 stupid errors. Also the kicking game has been poor as usual, why can't we sort that out ??

 

[HoldenV8]

They were would have refused to go to the bunker.

Sadly I think you're right.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Sadly I think you're right.

Once the ref blows the whistle then that's it, Walker can run back to Brookvale if he wants, wouldn't change a thing.

One thing I have noticed is that DCE seems to be rushing his kicks a bit today, especially the midfield bombs. And he still hasn't developed a floating bomb like just about every other NRL halfback, just kicks it in the old end over end style.

DCE’s kicking game has been very ordinary all year.

 

[lurker]

14 all... could be worse. Still very much in this.

Be nice to get a few 50-50 calls. Been dudded with 3 forward passes let go and walks didn't knock on.

That 7 tackle rule for a ball brushing the corner post is a stupid one. Just make it 6, not as if players are deliberately aiming for it. And you can barrel into it in the process of scoring a try so wtf!!!

“Could be worse”. Understatement of the year goes to GE

 

[highlandeagle]

Barrett has to give the refs a spray and cop the 10,000 grand fine in his press conference or he is a bigger tosser than I already think he is. The blatant strips and forward passes they get away with is a joke. Speak up pretty boy enough is enough!!!!!!

 

[Class of 96]

Big improvement. Get some of the 1%ers right and no reason we can’t beat them. They are horribly overrated.

Impressed with Suli’s debut. Very solid and will only get better.

Like others have said, just need Turbo to crawl out of his shell to turn the game on its head.
