Someone got the memo about taking the easy penalty shots.
If they had followed those tactics last week, they probably would have won it.

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.

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.
They were would have refused to go to the bunker.

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

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

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.

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.

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 ??

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.

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

Where eagles soar
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!!!!!!

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.
