Non-Manly Games [Round 17, 2017]

[HappilyManly]

Carn Raiders - keep those Cows away from Manly

If the faiders dont win today then they may as well start planning mad Monday.

BJ is a deadset knob, just let a few punches go lol.

Raiders have been deplorable tonight with their season on the line. They are a basket case. Seizer has been a dud for them this season. Leilua is an ill-disciplined mentally weak bone head. Feel sorry for young Cotric who has been their one shining light this year. Can't see them figuring in finals this year and that is a huge drop from pre-season expectations

 

[Danly Manly]

Raiders will need 5 or 6 in a row now to be any hope.

 

[Chip and Chase]

LOL and the Raiders fail to deliver again. Suffering Sticky second year + syndrome. His intensity can get a side up when he first comes in to a system, but after a while it just wears thin and doesn't make up for a shortfall in actual coaching ability. He rarely finishes off his coaching stints on a high. I didn't watch the game but I'll sneak a look at his presser at some stage, few better laughs in the NRL than a losing Sticky press conference....wonder what he will blame this week ?

 

[wombatgc]

That was shocking from the Raiders. You got fans turning out in minus 1, and they serve up that crap. I'd punt Leilua to reserve grade on what he did tonight.

It was Michael Robertson actually !

Re.Raiders presser- The roar of the greasepaint, the smell of the crowd.
Another stellar theatrical performance by Ricky Stuart.
The only thing missing was Barber's Adagio.

 

[The Who]

What cheating tactic did the Cowboys use to beat the Faders?
Sticky must be running out of excuses because there are only so many ways you can cheat.
Oh well, he'll have Knight and Oldfield available to 'rescue' his season.

He's our legend not theirs.

Why do fox have Ennis and anasta commentating on former teams.. yeah no bias here folks fmd. ennis' voice is starting to do my head in now.. He is a character but really only had 2 good seasons and will always be remembered as the king grub.

Nothing like biased, cheerleading commentators......Nein is full of them.

Sterling was cheering on Thursday night. No prizes for guessing who for. And Warren was as well really being life long a doesn't-matta fan.

Lewis and Lockyer were cheering for Brisbane on Friday night, though I suspect on one level they were more happy seeing Munster play well, especially when it became obvious Brisbane was going to lose. It gave them fuel to push his case for Qld, especially Lewis.

I remember one game back in the 90's where Warren had to remind Fatty that he was being paid to talk. It was Manly vs Easts on a Friday night at Brookie. Instead of commentating he was just watching.

Fittler is the same, cheering for either the Chooks or Riff. Surprisingly though Gould is banned from commentating on Riff games, Nein apparently think he would be too biased (unlike the rest of their cheerleading squad who are totally neutral....).

This is why I think nein and fox should put in place two sets of commentators for every game and people can choose who they want to listen to.

For us last....we could choose our kinda biased ones and the warriors could choose halligan or whomever they usually use.

not fatty though.

 

[globaleagle]

Damn you raiders!

I did one last minute change this week..... changed from (you guessed it) the cowboys to the raiders!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 😡😡😡

Sheesh, who wants a perfect round of tipping anyway?

Well maybe @shawn.b who is the only one left that can get one.

Sadly Fatty is the only ex-Manly player on either Fox or Nein.

Oh for the days of The Moose.

I agree!

I also meant that they could go and sign some commentators.

King, Kitey, wolfman, etc. Cliffy! Intelligent fans (not me lol cough) Jackman (about time he did something)

Most people would be happy to listen to a slightly biased commentary towards their own team then the special chosen few we get weekly.

Yep, seems like the raiders have played lots of cheats this year…
Just on the Cowboys, man, they are a well-coached team. Their structures are great and some of their sets last night were just beautiful to watch, even with a young half playing his first game for the club. Life without Thurston isn't shaping up to be too bad for them.

Was happy for the kid. He musta came away thinking how easy' this gig. Follow Morgan, score tries.
I think they'll go with Morgan for SOO. Although the cheating three will try and get Herman in no doubt.

Gaz mentioned it in commentary in that first half of the Castle Tigpies game. Fans want consistency. That was a ridiculously harsh call on a forward pass on the Castle non-try. It was pretty clearly legit out of the hands. It's just frustrating when we have to put up with the number of far more blatant/obvious forward passes during games and they just randomly pull out one here or there. But beyond belief when the odd one they do call out wasn't actually forward and nowhere near as blatant as so many others let go.
