Game Day: Manly v Storm [Round 21, 2017]

[manlyfan76]

I'd have taken a 12-6 half time score before kick off.

 

[ManWar]

Somehow we are only down by 6. But if we play the second half like we did the first it'll be the Saints game all over again.

 

[bob dylan]

I have another committment Grand Final night I need to accept for tomorrow.

I have been holding off accepting hoping we might be there, but we wont.

Will be lucky to make the 8.

 

[HoldenV8]

If you believe the commentators, the Scum have dominated so much they should have been up by 50. So to only be down by 6.....I think we're well in this game.

 

[Sillybus]

Kelly really is the weak link in the team

 

[mickqld]

Taupau must be injured because his form has dropped considerably the last few weeks.

 

[andyvb]

I think some people need to chill out. The refs have failed to penalise a few times and even brandy said ". Storm have been off a few times"

 

[Simonmyers11]

Storm are killing us with the ball but they can leak points we just somehow need to get more oportunities.

Wright giving away that penalty when we had the ball 30m out was stupid

 

[winnyason]

Kelly not a first grader

 

[bob dylan]

Api is not good enough.

His defence has to be the worst in the NRL and his dummy half work is poor.

So you disagree @Sillybus

Jump on the NRL site and check his stats. If he hasnt missed 10 tackles they cant count.

 

[skull61]

WTF is going on with our defence. This is not how a top 4 team defends let alone a top 8 team

 

[Pepi]

We just don't look like we want to be there. Not sure if I'm being too harsh.. Looks a bit like 2016.

 

[Ben]

We look good with a little field possession. We have done well to only be 12-6 down after the way that half panned out

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Might have to start calling Winterstein Jane

Look at the size of him, we have been in our own end for a fair chunk of that half, and this guy has taken 1 hit up, simply not good enough

Will take that at halftime, realistically I would always be happy to stay with 10-14 points today, can handle 6 at half time. Reading through this though you'd think it was 46-6 at halftime !! Could still blow out a touch if they keep getting leg ups and field position though and head to that score

 

[damiennp90]

Well how the hell are we only 6 down.

That's a positive.

Not sure how we can improve our defence at half time though.

 

[The Royal Soup]

I think some people need to chill out. The refs have failed to penalise a few times and even brandy said ". Storm have been off a few times"

Nothing to do with the refs

We are flat once again

Allowing 84737373 offloads and missing and falling off tackles

 

[HappilyManly]

Kelly really is the weak link in the team

It was Blake's fault for not getting back into the defensive line.

Just like Kapow in the first half. Makes the tackle on the 5 meter line, then sits there and looks at his team mates to try and stop a barging Scumo

 

[Simonmyers11]

Taupau must be injured because his form has dropped considerably the last few weeks.

I know. Everthing came off the back of his huge charges skittling defenders than off loading.

Haven't seen that for a whike.

We have failed to get any repeat sets and build on usually one of the best kicking games

 

[pt73]

28 missed tackles to 9 tells the story.

 

[grassy]

Good atmosphere at the game today.Our defence is lacking big time. We need to get in their face more and stop their offloads.The thing about the storm is they just hang in there till we stuff up.They do this to every side and is why they are at the top.
