Game Day: Manly v Storm [Round 24, 2019]

[HappilyManly]

Well this sux

 

[susan]

The NRL will be making sure parra win next week to you watch!

Other than confidence from a win it means little in terms of semis
5th and 6th get home final

 

[Hoppa]

Honestly can not remember when Manly won a wet weather match. I was worried when it started to rain.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Storm play a disciplined game & with that they’ll be premiers unfortunately.

Roosters will kick the **** out of them storm are a team that with the help of the refs strangle the other team out of the game ie tonight's game

I thought the same about a month ago, but I think the Roosters have too much talent.

One thing I know is only bad luck will stop a Roosters Vs Storm GF.

Dce cannot play in the rain

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Most of the tries down Suli's side came from quick play the balls as a result of poor defence from those inside him. He might have been a little off the pace, but he sure as hell wasn't alone in that. Win as a team, lose as a team.

 

[40 nil]

Under the radar again

Will bounce back well next week

Injuries our major concern

 

[Chip and Chase]

Smith played us off a break tonight. Our leader went into headless chook mode and with no Thommo to rally troops we looked lost - losing Tommy really hurt our chances of winning but it shouldn't have stopped us digging deep and showing we are a genuine top 4 side.

 

[HoldenV8]

That loss had been coming for weeks.... Struggled against a few teams and got lucky.

Shame about the injuries. Hurts us moving forwards.

Walker at 6 isn't a premiership threat and we struggled with game management again tonight. Would love to see Cust back.

I thought Walks went OK tonight, we just had limited ball in good field position.

Cust? Good grief.....no. Either Walker to stay at 5/8 or Croker. But please, not Cust.

 

[HappilyManly]

How come different Manly players all dropped the ball at least 10 times tonight

Scumos held on plus got all the penalties that Cummins could conjure

All the best to Turbo and Boyle

 

[pt73]

Reports that a guy arrested for throwing a punch at Chambers when he went up the tunnel after getting 10.

 

[HappilyManly]

Sadly the rain has prevented the final Kids on Field

 

[susan]

Take Smith out of Storm, Cronk out of Rorters then it’s game over re semis. You just put a fork in them
Plain bad f...,,ing luck for us unfortunately. Just hope he doesn’t miss too much of next year if a rupture

 

[simon64]

You know how sometimes, being a Manly fan is just the best thing ever ?

They put 54 on Parra. They win a GF 40-0. They come from the clouds and beat the Riff on the bell and Sowie has a sook.

Yeah well this is one of those nights you have to endure to enjoy all those other times.
It's a job lot people. We'll be back.
Just forget it ever happened and look forward to next week.

 

[Jethro]

Bloody Suli again.

He's cost us 4 tries on the right tonight with his defence.

Sorry @Jethro , I know you're trying a bit to defend him but tonight he has been a HUGE liability.

Yeah, I know. He didn't play well this game but he isn't alone there.

The whole team played like crap again under wet conditions. I am sure that if it was played under dry conditions, the scoreline would have been a lot better with a good chance that the result would have gone our way.

Tonight, luck just wasn't on our side. Every little thing that could go wrong did.

I don't know how many of our players just dropped the ball cold tonight without anybody even touching them. I know that Api did as well as knocking on from dummy half and Jorge dropped one cold too.

You (not meaning you in particular) just can't put all the blame on tonight's loss squarely on Suli's shoulders.

 

[Budgie]

Now we know how valuable Thommo really is to the side. Relentless enthusiasm and commitment is very hard to replace.

 

[Budgie]

Has Cameron Smith EVER been injured?

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Most of the tries down Suli's side came from quick play the balls as a result of poor defence from those inside him. He might have been a little off the pace, but he sure as hell wasn't alone in that. Win as a team, lose as a team.

Des will ram those points home in the video review

At least Paseka is off the nudie run

Jorge's 2 huge hits were worth the ticket
