Game Day: Manly v Warriors [Round 25, 2017]

[bob dylan]

Oh I almost forgot.

Bad luck Foz you cat.

 

[HappilyManly]

The best aspect was that Manly stayed in the game and didn't let the scoreboard dictate their fate.

FG to take it to a potential golden point, rather than a risky play for a possible try.

Cool heads, great to see them happy again

You are missing a "u" and an "n"

 

[Michael Clare]

The warriors didn't deserve a try off a blatant forward pass.

Referees didn't miss the Jake to Tom flat pass and two minutes later Warriors score off a blatant forward pass. Not good enough! Sadly it's all too predictable.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Api made 60 tackles.

Great effort.

Yeah. He showed a lot of ticker today. Very impressive

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Dugan's ladder got blown over and he got stuck on the roof....bus left without him.

And the breeze(r) changed too.

 

[NLSeaEagle]

Just watched the last 10 minutes again..........DCE missed the field goal with 10 seconds to go in normal time!!

Useless ;-)

 

[HappilyManly]

Was this our 3rd golden point game of the season ?

Must be some record to win each one

Sack him.😉

 

[NLSeaEagle]

Yeah, look it was brilliant and inspirational, AND I am happy to take away the two points with the chance of playing finals looking more likely.

However, none of that brilliance would have had the chance to emerge if the Warriors hadn't self-destructed the set before and got themselves bundled into touch instead of setting up a winning field goal. And they were in that position because of a bad tackle miss by DCE when we had them pinned down on their 10. The break made it to half way, which put them in the position to win.

Some real brilliance from DCE, but also some bad options, errors and non-existance at times today. I hope this lifts him out of that recent funk (along with the team) and we see him rise to the heights he has showed us through a lot of the year. I truly hope today lifts the whole team emotionally and psychologically. Once we are in the finals anything is possible.

You'll find that Api & Marty also missed that tackle you are talking about................and they had a better shot at him and in tandem.

Funny you say that, I actually typed C#$T and thought I should clean it up because I worry about the kids that might read it.

 

[WESTIE]

I'll take guess re Duges ...missed the bus cause he was drinkin a beer every round watching the Mayweather fight....got the maths wrong...forgot about the bus...thought he could drive out himself and still make kick off at 4.00 ??

 

[Midnight Rambler]

Api 63 tackles

 

[Captain Moondog]

We're cannon fodder next week if we turn up with the same ****, seriously I hope today was a wake up call. I'm wrapped we're still in it but there needs to be an attitude adjustment.

They got a shot of the winning 'high' - should see Manly come back for more

If it is the break I'm thinking of, wasn't that Api and then Taupau that missed the tackles.

Yes, they were also involved and guilty of poor tackle attempts. My point was that DCE was very rocks and diamonds today, as much as I appreciate and am thankful for his late heroics to win us that game.

Yes he was. I said myself that he was way off today and pretty much from that point on he woke up and played a blinder. I take full credit.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Yeah, it was a funny game of contrasts for him. Pretty much invisible for the first 60 mins. Then suddenly injected himself, albeit, full of hospital passes, getting caught with the ball and just poor options. Then finally those few late involvements of freakish ability to help drag the team over the line... Hopefully, those freakish moments set the pace for weeks to come and the team as a whole.
