Game Day: Manly V Souths [Round 18, 2025]

[HoldenV8]

Note to Lehi Hopoate:

Put longer studs on your boots and you won't slip over so much 🤷‍♂️

 

[Peter C]

Hopoate really needs to eat what Brandon Smith has been eating

 

[danny-boy]

Put Simpkin on he’ll carve them up.

 

[bob dylan]

SOuths markers stand next to each other 4 tackles every set.

Or stop doing the jump in the air side step.

 

[Brookie1973]

SOuths markers stand next to each other 4 tackles every set.

And their tacklers are on our first receivers as soon as they catch the pass. Must be Olympic class sprinters.

 

[HoldenV8]

Turbo just scored his 107th try for Manly.

 

[Brookie1973]

Thank God Souths have nothing without Cody and Latrell. No spark in Humphrey.

The crowd are baying for the offside penalty but nothing yet. This refereeing has been very much favouring Souths, luckily we are on top anyway. Credit to our forwards.

Well after the start we had 10-0 is a good show of resilience , something we have been sadly lacking.

Mind you , 10 points in the modern game is nothing.

 

[Ranga]

Turbo knocked on in the contest for the bomb there. Lucky break. I like what I’m seeing though!

 

[HoldenV8]

As much as we're not big Corey Waddell fans in here, I do think that Haumole when he returns should take a leaf out of Duck's book.....actually run onto the ball.

I'll give that to Duck, he won't die wondering.

And 14-0 is even better

 

[Brookie1973]

I love those penalties (when we get them).

 

[The Royal Soup]

garrick the gourmet winger goes over

 

[nightster]

Best left wing in the game

 

[eaglebuzz]

At least the bunker aren't trying to screw us, that out of play call was a pleasant surprise.

And yes to everyone's shock Garrick looks fantastic on the wing. If only we could have somehow known...

He gets caned , constantly , much of it deserved but he does try his best , and sometimes it’s not too bad

 

[HoldenV8]

Reuben Garrick's 88th try in maroon and white, equalling Jorge Taufua's total. They are now =7th all time for the Sea Eagles.

Garrick's next try record on our list is Steve Matai's 91 tries.

Best left wing in the game

Should be there ALL the time
