Needed to Win tough

[maxta]

Credit to everyone at Manly involved in that gutsy win.
Copped terrible calls throughout, yet showed heart and grit
Dominant in most of the game and if we played with that intensity every week, would have won at least 3 more games
Anyways get a weeks break and look to be hanging in there still
To lose tonight, in a similar fashion giving up the lead would have been a shocker and to win like this takes away a heap of the pain of those close losses

 

[Red Baron]

There is still life in us yet. Just need to hold out until Turbo comes back.

I agree somewhat, but we wouldn’t need to be a s gritty and gutsy if we didn’t make it so hard on ourselves.

We give the opposition and refs so many chances. To beat us every week,

It’s a horrible feeling never been confident of a win any week until after the siren.

 

[Ashton Davis]

Need more of these wins. Yes we’ve had wins over Penrith, Roosters and now Storm this year but the number of games we have let slip have taken the shine off those results

I think we do inspire hope to opposition even when we are winning most areas on the field....but what I mean about this thread is to win tight after all the heartache of those close losses, has erased some pain, but most importantly given the players belief we can win those tight contests, as for a while we had been snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, tonight we made the big defensive plays to get the deserved tough win

I would say if we could get the final 8 and then Tommy comes back then it would be that X factor to go all the way. The team looks better balanced without Turbo only because they don’t rely on him. Get that mentality into the finals and then insert Turbo and it could be really good.

How farrrkkking horrible was Klein at times tonight? Dreadful

Personally, the Hughes try at the end could be a blessing in disguise. It may galvanise the side to hang on and win without momentum. Winding the clock down and winning by two scores may not have exorcised the demons entirely. Defending our line for three minutes with one score in it, could do just that!

How many times did they slow our play the ball down.... nothing from that nuffy. Missed 2 forward passes that finally led to a Melbourne try and the penalty on Brown from the kick off was ridiculous. Current refereeing is as poor now, as I've ever witnessed.

 

[The Who]

We've beaten the three top sides, Penrith, Easts and Melbourne, and been the better side against Brisbane. We have a great winning record against Cronulla, the current front runners.
It just shows that if we can get into the top eight we'll have plenty of scared opposition.

However, I do like the fact that penalties have been kept low in the past couple of matches.

We’re a bipolar team

Don't hold out too much on Turbo's return he ain't the man he used to be

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Turbo shouldn’t come back as a fullback.

Yep and looking at the table now 3/5 losses have been to other top 8 sides. Parra loss early was to them with all their key players in. Do have the team to beat the best when we are on.

Of track but Is it just me or does our attack look better with Tom not there? Just seemed like last two weeks we have more space.

That resilience was built on from the Donkeys game, they fought hard in that game and brought the same attitude against the Storm.

The middle is where you take Melbourne on, this season they are not as strong in the middle, Welsh and Nelson are both below par with their form.

Tent and Alioia were very good, if Tent makes it into Origin he will build more on his game, the coaching staff have stuck solid starting him every game this season.
