Game Day: Manly v Titans [Round 6, 2021]

[pt73]

Loved the sign in the crowd “Tino’s a Cat”.

Too funny.

Going to be hard to to do the MVP today , Tom a standout for 3 points but so many many others for the 2 & 1

2 weeks in a row the defence shined through. That’s 2 tires against us in 2 weeks, and against teams that can score.

The way I see it is it’s all the way up from now and they need to back it up next week. Players to come back and as long as we are injury free we can ruffle some feathers.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Well that was right up there with a good root 🙂

It definitely lasted longer.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I said during the week if we win the middle we’ll win the game.

Yes & Yes

 

[globaleagle]

Now there's an ad for some boxing match

gallen v someone called big daddy...?

The guy yacking sounds like that ex manly player who also acted on 'the green arrow'

maybe I'm delirious

 

[mickqld]

I did say I thought Titans were being talked up too much. Glad I changed my tip . What an awesome display. That's the Manly we all know and love. That's what a Des coached team looks like. Just hope that Tom can stay healthy.

Great win. Dominated the middle, completed sets, and defended well. Crazy that one player in Tommy can make us look so good, after looking so bad for the first 4 rounds. Foran and Schuster getting better and better each week on that left edge and Tommy just chimed in there like he's been doing it for years with them. Foran engineered that win, winding back the clock. DCE just did the basics and didn't get in the road, and we looked so much better without him overplaying his hand. Imagine if he can regain some form and we can get that right edge humming too. Guaca looked damaging in the little time he had.

That’s why we have Foran too. He was purchased to do what he did today. When you play off the back of go forward, you look much better. Then having Tom out the back helps too! The thing with Tom T is not only his physical attributes but he positions himself and times his run so much better than Walker. It’s funny how it’s the identical shape/play we run every game in the first 5 weeks, but when you put another player in the works, the play comes up trumps.

 

[BOZO]

Watch it, you'll have @BOZO quoting you next

Love your work feathered friend

SAAB EXHILARATING SPEED IS COCAINE ON THE FOOTY FIELD

SAAB SPEED KILLED THEM . THE FASTER HE WENT THE BIGGER THE MESS HE LEFT BEHIND

 

[DaveLP]

Schuster x turbo no matter the grade will work wonders in attack lol what a win

 

[BOZO]

@BOZO Speed kills!!!

AND THE FASTER YOU GO THE BIGGER THE MESS YOU LEAVE BEHIND FEATHERED FRIEND!

 

[skull61]

Well that was a bit better. Would have scored 50 if not for the rain

 

[globaleagle]

Things that look weird to me....

1) Crowds (still not allowed in dirty Canada)
2) Car ads where y'all driving on the wrong side of the road
3) Prices on goods without (*tax) next to the price
4) Just english on products and not eng + french

(and yer accents sound funny)

 

[Snake]

Injuries are never nice but at least they’ve forced Dessie’s hand and we now have Schuster and Haumole getting solid game time.
Haumole can be our Kikau.

It's after midnight!

I've turned into a pumpkin

gotta be harper

 

[Brissie Kid]

Absurd. Can’t rule in forward passes but can do “Taps”??? Anyone got a rule book?

Absolute junk from NRL. It was a pass and it was deliberate. Whether it is thrown or punched or swatted back, it is still a pass. NRL bunker not allowed to rule on a pass.

All the bunker could legitimately review was whether it was a knock on. If it was ruled a knock on by the bunker then Manly should then have been penalised for a deliberate knock on.

The referee ruled a hand over. He could only do that if the bunker ruled a forward pass. Which they aren't allowed to do.

Plus it never went forward anyway, or certainly not enough to over rule the on field call.

Schuster x turbo no matter the grade will work wonders in attack lol what a win

They look very dangerous in traffic..

 

[Cliffymagic]

First half was magic. Best I've seen in ages. 2nd half too keep em to 0 was great as well. Keppie no try really pissed me off thou. Saab was great in attack. Luckily wasn't tested too much in defence.
Harper has to stay in.

 

[nightster]

Today we had a SPINE ... Croker stepped up DCE played with a bit more time, Foran was excellent, ... and some new guy at fullback
