Non-Manly Games [Round 15, 2019]

[Cioran]

I hope the Bulldogs win this but unfortunately for them no amount of enthusiasm will make up for a complete lack of game plan and direction.

 

[HappilyManly]

Doggies 14 - 12

Fiz does his hammies

 

[ALinda]

Good on the Dogs, deserved the win. Not good for tipping but great for Manly.

 

[The Who]

Moylen is a myth.
Nappa should stick to home movies.
Woods, as his name suggests, is a pile of logs.
And refs still don't realise there is still a rule about knock-backs.
The Dogs win is good for us. Cronulla played really poorly.

 

[HoldenV8]

Well done to the Dogs there, they hung tough at the end.

The Sharks played like they thought the game was won just by them being there.

 

[Captain Moondog]

Thank **** we never got Moylan.

Horrible!

I wouldn't mind betting that a knee jerk reaction has followed the CTE news that has been in the media all week. Refs see a tackle anywhere near the hear and depending on who it is, that player will be binned. Siro caught Kelly high (with nothing more than a love tap at best), sin-binned. Gavet from the Knights has his arm slip up off the shoulders and around the head....sin-bin.

If the CTE thing hadn't popped up in the media this week, I doubt neither Siro or Gavet would have been sent.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with protecting players from high shots. That's fine. The issue I have is the NRL's constant, mid-season knee jerk rule changes every time something negative hits the media.

If there was anyone that deserved 10 in the bin it was Peni Terapos shot on Rapana.

Thank **** we never got Moylan.

Thank **** we never paid $1m for fiz

 

[HappilyManly]

Thank **** we never paid $1m for fiz

1 run and he grabs the hammie

Body is gone

 

[The Insomniac]

Thank **** we never got Moylan.

2nd most over rated player in the NRL behind Shaun Johnston. Imagine having $1.9 mil tied up in these two.

And then there's Dugan on $750,000 a season.

Cam Smith is such a grub... and he’s so smarmy and arrogant in the way he conducts himself. As usual the commentary team praise his cheating/grubbiness as experience. Turns my stomach.

they referred to him as crafty Cam. He'll be sitting next to his mate Billy soon commentating. That'll be good.

 

[ALinda]

Not

 

[HappilyManly]

Broncos Anthony Milford sustained a left lateral meniscus knee injury in #NRLKnightsBroncos and could be out for 1-2 weeks or if surgery required 6-12 weeks

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

they referred to him as crafty Cam. He'll be sitting next to his mate Billy soon commentating. That'll be good.

Throw in Cronker Coop and you have a modern-day Controversy Corner right there.

If he ends up in a commentary position, all TV remotes should be made to have an anti-Cam button.

Thank **** that game ended.
Horrible!

Didn't see the game myself, but was it worse than our game on Saturday?.,

Manly's first 53 minutes were fantastic with 5 great tries

That second half was forgettable, lucky we a had good lead, perhaps that may have been the problem
