Non-Manly Games [Round 12, 2017]

[MadMarcus]

I only saw the last few mins. Looked like Souffs were being given the obligatory leg up from the refs as Parra were getting away from them, but were too **** to capitalise.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Eels are rorting the HIA system. Pritchard off cos the ball skimmed his hair

So blatant. Mannah off nearing the 20 min mark, ooh I wonder if he'll pass the HIA oh he did what a surprise, then the hooker off just at the right time. Souths did it in the 2nd half too, possibly in frustration at what the Eels are getting away with.

And Scott getting away with stripping he ball, he does it every game, why is that not on every ref's tip sheet??

 

[StuBoot]

What more can a poor boy do...
That was an Enz song wasn't it.
I suppose grow whatever while you're young....
Now Stu about that troll rating your, I hope, thick fingers gave me when replying...
Can that be removed. Lol.

Whoops, sorry Harvie, that was my mistake.
Friday night beers and fat fingers on the phone.
Fixed.

All good mate.
I battle with the same thing.

 

[Ryan]

Well that was shyte to wake up to (only because I tipped souffs, I don't care about either team but life is better when parra lose.)

Souths were terrible mate. Grabbed some defensive tips off Jared Bednar I think. Parramatta winning and Swans losing - in the last couple of minutes, bleh.

 

[maxta]

Really hoping NZ have an "on" game today and tear Brisbane apart...
Have taken a few like
NZ 9+ half time
Fusitua 2 + tries
Maybe a few more yet
Also an anti Dogs man, but will go close and can beat Sharks 1-12

That South ball control is the pits...those flopped forward passes were filthy.
I dare say if you took Sam out of that team, they would vie for the spoon.

ahh since when does an elbow have fingers??

 

[TimmyQ]

Is gutherson in a split enz tribute show or something?

Hes got a spot on the bench with Flock of Seagulls as backup 😉

I say this with trepidation, but on current form, I hope we aren't after one of those twins. They make Nate Myles look like Usain Bolt.

So true
I recall back when they won the comp...I was kind of wishing we had those big bodies dominating with huge metres and bending the line...now just drop it every 2nd carry and seem easier controlled...defensively a liability also.

 

[TimmyQ]

Whose that wanker commentator on Fox doing the Warriors game that has to say their Maori surnames like he's Big Little Chief of Sth Island??? Gives me the ****s..must be that lanky goalkicker who played for the bears...

Halligan??
Could kick a goal though
Agree though / these wankers talk funny stuff .... I personally get on super with the NZ ppl in general, but those commentators are simply funny to listen to

I cant stand these split rounds. All teams should have the week off to make it fair.

Who comes up with these draws. You have a team like brisbane who you know will have origin players out against a warriors side who never have players out.

Parra play melbourne and sharks during this origin period for example. Manly are competing with parra to make the eight and we play Melbourne and sharks at full strength while parra who you think would lose to both of those sides normally, have a real leg up during origin.

The draw is ridiculous.

 

[Eagleheart]

Interesting to see this evening what the donkeys dish up when they actually have a team that is playing within the cap.....!!!!

Parra have been playing through origin a lot in the past few years. Hasn't helped them in the end but you're on point in calling it bull**** because it is.

Hopefully this changes next year when the drawer isn't run by tv.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I read somewhere that the Warriors are the team that's least affected by the SOO debacle and usually profit ( points wise) during this period.

28-10 this evening against the Donkeys suggest this might be true!

Seriously I'd forgotten they were playing..
Is it Friday night again ???
Woo-hoo

Cronulla shows how attitude brings you back into the game.
