Non-Manly Games [Round 22, 2017]

[Beer buzzard]

Again the HIA Rort - Bromwich gets an elbow in his adams apple and Scumos get a free interchange

2 for the price of one

 

[HoldenV8]

Did I just see Smith trying to put on a shoulder charge on the Cows kicker? It was a piss weak attempt, but it was still a shoulder charge.

I bet like it has been on the field that it will be ignored.....

 

[Beer buzzard]

So all of a sudden the scum are being pinged for offside and laying in tackles. Gus reckons the refs have bee tipped to the scums tactics.FMD what have they been watching for the last 10 years

Where was this enforcement of the off side last week?

 

[wedgetail eagle]

Interesting what Gus Gould says about Refs being tipped off about Storm's offside tactics.
Consequently, this is stifling Melbourne's game.

The truth shall set you free.

Very interesting indeedy!

6th sounds about right for me.(Now)

That would probably have us playing either the Cowboys, Dragons or Panthers in Sydney.

Best possible outcome i reckon.

Best case scenario would probably be finishing 5th (other than top 4 finish) meaning we most likely play cowboys/panthers, then the following week we'd get a rather easy game against the eels (ultimate pretenders) who'd have just come off a loss against the storm should their god easy draw land them a spot in 4th position. After that in the prelims we'd miss out on the storm. Followed by a gf (if we got there) between us and storm if so (unless storm beaten in prelims)

The worry is how fkd up are the Goons and yet they flogged us by 30. By that measurement we won't win another game this year.

but neither will the teams we beat either then

or the teams they beat

or the teams they beat

or the teams they beat.

So we finish 7th an no teams wins a game for the rest of the season so we are equal premiers!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Harvies elbow]

We must play tougher than we've looked.
Scum look buggered, even though they're in front.

Interesting what Gus Gould says about Refs being tipped off & onto Storm's offside tactics.
Consequently stifling Melbourne's game.

The truth shall set you free.

Gould knows a lot more than he lets on but occasionally lets slip

A lot of teams do struggle after playing us

Makes me really angry these, especially when the eels do it a good 2 or three times a game

 

[Simonmyers11]

Cows done really well to hold on but far out storm are going to be hard to beat. This is the best ive seen them in attack for years

 

[ALinda]

Shhh- that's Manly's secret to success.

Makes Manly manly

Classic HM and sounds good to me

 

[HoldenV8]

Isn't Luke Phillips on the staff at the Panthers? And Luke hasn't been backwards in coming forwards with what he thinks of the way refereeing is. He spilled the beans on FB last year in a big way.

 

[Harvies elbow]

sCam pulled up a bit sore after a tackle earlier now he's off.
Maybe his pec is playing up.
That'd be a shame.

 

[HoldenV8]

You know, we may hate Billy Slater, but right now Tom Trbojevic could do well to watch tapes of him playing and learn a thing or two about positioning at fullback.

 

[HappilyManly]

Cows done really well to hold on but far out storm are going to be hard to beat. This is the best ive seen them in attack for years

Scumos
1) Everyone with the ball runs straight at the line at full speed - creates holes on either side
2)All support players are deep, in case the ball runner pulls up or loops around
3) The ball movement stretches the D one side, then Cronk or sCam kick to the empty wing thats left

Manly
1) Manly mainly take merely a step then look to offload - easy to chew up tackles
2) Manly support players are level with the ball carrier, thereby preventing a pass. Chez is especially stranded as he has a knack if pivoting, which his support players constantly overrun as they were too flat in support
3) Manly rarely manage to change their direction of attack in losing games. Yet in games they win, you can see the zig zag so often

Just lets get back to basics and the wins are attainable

 

[Simonmyers11]

Manly should watch how storm defend. Chalk and cheese with manly
All their players get up off the line and there are no holes in their defensive line. No weakness. They miss so few tackles

Anyone notice his little bald spot getting bigger....off ya go ya dodgy c@nt.

Which fullback? I must have missed that.
