Game Day: Manly v Tigers [Round 22, 2019]

[Dan]

He is looking for any bloody reason they can to take tries off us it is ludicrous and obvious and biased, the refs don't know how to ref anymore.

Boyle was so far through the line he couldn't impact play anywhere near Brookvale.

They have to get the tigers up off the tackle it's getting ridiculous

 

[The better Robbo]

Api is no good hes not the same as he used to be he barely runs anymore and his game is full of mistakes. As soon as Fainu came on we looked so much better

Paseka looking great

100% im happy for api to play the first 15 mins and that's it. Maybe bring him on with 10 to go as a rover in the middle if we need points

 

[MuzztheEagle]

That try helps to flatter our scoring in that half. We looked really clunky in attack for the most part and should have had at least 4 tries given the number of opportunities we have had

Everyone has worked out how to stop our attack. Slow and shut down the play the ball and we lose the ability to turn teams around...but when this falls apart or fatigue sets in we start cutting them to shreds again.

I love Apis d early but man when Fainu comes on we are a different team.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

The highlight of that half for me was the step and fend by Elliot which should have resulted in a try. It was textbook stuff

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Special mention to Paseka the man mountain has found his mojo!!! The guy almost split them twice and always bends them back.... the Des effect

 

[bob dylan]

Yet again the points come once Api goes off.

I wonder how many times the refs have to request bunker referrals in the KFC contract with the NRL

 

[Shoe1]

A mixed half for me

Right in kickoff my daughter spilled a drink all over the coffee table.

My mother rang a few minutes later.

My wife got home just as manly scored.

I had a peaceful view of the tv just as the tigers scored.

I think the dog got a possum or something so I was out back for our other tries.

All calm now for half time

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Winning the penalty and I’m still blowing up about the purple people eaters out there
More patience from the team and should win comfortably

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

I love Apis d early but man when Fainu comes on we are a different team.

He should play the 1st 20 then fainu should come on and either stay on the rest of the game and api can come back and play like a middle forward or come back in in the last 10. All i know is fainu is such a gun he changes our side instantly

Clearly a lot. It's ridiculous.

 

[nightster]

Thanks for the commentary brothers & sisters ... having a great time here but sure would be nice to be watching the game .... Go Manly

I've got a try...and a deep hunger for a bucket, can you just check for uber eats please bunker

 

[Cliffymagic]

Credit to gojetski . Bit rough,but has pulled thru with 2 tries .

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

The highlight of that half for me was the step and fend by Elliot which should have resulted in a try. It was textbook stuff

It was great to watch his balance in that run.

 

[qldeagle]

Jetski and api GET THEM OFF DES

Really, Jetski has scored 2 tries. Give him some credit. Dont be that kind of supporter that goes off half cocked. Geeeeeeeez

 

[NFN2IT]

Fatigue is our new strategy now.

Teams have well and truly worked out how to blunt our attack.
At times this year we carved teams up rucking like we were playing touch footy and that centered around Finau, DCE and TTurbo. Melbourne, Warriors and now the Tigers have worked out if they just rush up in our faces, JTurbo, AFB & Marty can't get that roll on that we can play on the back of.....

The refs are definitely letting the tigers hold on for longer in tackles, so frustrating to watch knowing we'd be penalised for the same thing in half the time.

 

[Shoe1]

For the tigers try he caught it behind the decoy, no daylight visible.
