Non-Manly Games [Finals Week 3, 2019]

[BrendonStarr]

Didn't watch it but a quick look at the match stats says that the Rabbits suck ****!

 

[Harvies elbow]

Is it my imagination or was a rabbits player taken out as he chased the kick through on the last play. Don’t care, just saying.

I saw that too.
Just waited for cumfaces incessant whistle to shriek.
God He's an annoying pr*ck...

 

[Waz13]

Man that was hard to watch knowing we would have beaten that raiders team with ease. I’m hating watching these games right now. As for souths, well joke are hopeless and didn’t deserve to be there

 

[HappilyManly]

Don't know about anyone else but I still prefer Manly

 

[davohan123]

Don't know about anyone else but I still prefer Manly
.

But tonight raiders deserved to win
Yes manly forever but man after last week souths can go enjoy the off season

 

[mave]

Sooooooo who is everyone tipping in the Grand Final tomorrow ?

 

[HappilyManly]

Raiders came to the game in the 41st minute and almost lost it to to vermin

BJ looked lame when he limped off. I don't know much about their roster so I'm hoping that they have a centre spare 😎

 

[The Wheel]

Fodder for whoever wins tomorrow...

Probably I think Raiders just celebrated like they won the GF

 

[ricardo]

Professional foul my arse

Rusty's money is well spent

Last 10 minutes Rabbids only ever play against 12

Thinking the same but not even Cummins could get that rabble over the line tonight. He can at least hold his head up high and tell Gladiator he did his best.

Scumos would be easier for the Raiders.

I can't see them matching the Rorters anywhere.

Lets hope the Rorters maim some Scumos as they lose in golden point on a Referee error

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Well at least they got to the GF so good luck to them, we didn’t and will have to be a LOT better in 2019 to take away the referee’s ability to **** our season up.

The refs tried hard again tonight to get Souths up but to give them some credit there weren’t many penalties.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Poor Souths - needed some more penalties and another sin bin.

Having said that it's embarrassing that they put 30 points on us last week, how bloody bad was their attack tonight when faced with a bit of stiff goal line defence ?? Cook was diabolical tonight, running in circles and taking woeful options. Reynolds not much better. How the hell did they beat us ??

Sad thing is we now have to put up with either another scum premiership or having to listen to the carry on about Roosters being the first team to go back to back in nearly 30 years. Both options are equally unpalatable.

 

[HappilyManly]

to give them some credit there weren’t many penalties.

But that is the very issue - that the Ref decides when to penalize on a whim

Manly need to work on their discipline in the off season as they need to be perfect or keep getting the whistle in their ear 😎

When the Raider on the ground was picked up and dumped in goal by Walker, all I could think of was that our Walker would have been penalized and even binned

True, however in the second half last week we copped 6 they copped zero.

That’s an impossible scenario looking at it without bias.

It has nothing to do with the Raiders defence. The Homebush swamp was coming off rain and the basin around there gets a lot of dew late at night. It makes players slippery so hard to tackle. That’s why there was a combined 56 points in that game.

[ALinda]

We didn’t and will have to be a LOT better in 2019

We were a lot better, than both teams, in 2019. What could've been...

If anyone has watched Nuru Massage they were slippery like that.

I reckon it’ll be a blessing in disguise for Ricky if Bonehead fails the medical. When he was out for a large chunk of the season they had Cotric,Simonsson as well as Oldfield when Rapana was out. Just think no bonehead penalties given away, someone who can actually play the ball. For mine Cotric to centre, Simonsson to wing, and run a four man forwards bench.

 

[mave]

Cotric is so much better on the wing. Gives the Raiders enormous go foward at the start of each set, with a speedy ruck.

He struggled to have any impact at centre imo.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Interesting reading the comments about Souths getting help from the refs, I thought the Raiders were fairly well looked after last night for their first couple of tries and after the way Hodgson was stumbling he had to come off the park for an assessment but that didn’t happen
