Non-Manly Games [Round 23, 2019]

[HoldenV8]

Fittler just said he's been more impressed with the Chooks defence.

What defence? Sure they've made 163 tackles, but about 80% of that has been St Merge forwards taking hit ups and not getting any second phase play. They are giving them tackling practice, but they aren't really making them do much defence.

So is Belinda Sharp one of the refs tonight after being a touchie on Thu night, that’s pretty good going, doubt there’s many of the male refs that would do that

 

[XV-1]

Good thing Nathan Brown sacked himself earlier in the week. He must have known this was coming…

McGregor should do the same thing at the Dragons

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

McGregor should do the same thing at the Dragons

I think he’s next to fall on his sword!!

I think Belinda’s just doing it to sink the slipper into Claytons comment from last year.
"It was actually quite hard to transition considering I'd refereed so much.

‘Hold my beer Clayton.’

Pangai jnr got 5 weeks for his late elbow to Maloney's head last week so assume Roberts & Sua will get the same?

This guy got a letter from the NRL followed by a testimonial match:

 

[master blaster]

Ponga's playing like **** but the commentators keep talking him up.

A journo the other week hit the nail on the head and said, Ponga plays well for one half then goes missing in the second half. He was woeful tonight. He looked disinterested out. He might need to go and have anther strawberry thick shake. I wonder what was in that thick shake..

 

[Loobs]

How the duck did we lose to the Warriors....

I think that the Storm game catching up to us. We were very flat a week before against the Knights and think they were still a bit off. Then add in the flight so it’s not totally unexpected.

Hoping the Raiders feel the same today.

 

[Loobs]

Yes maybe but we often did it under the previous coach as well.

We definitely did it last go around with Des. There were always a couple of games a season where they’d be flat. Hard to be firing on all cylinders for 25 straight weeks.

 

[mickqld]

Blake Leary back playing Intrust cup with Burleigh Bears. Thought he was going to be a good buy but never displayed his potential. Looks slow now.

 

[mickqld]

How annoying is it to think we lost games to Titans, StGoons and Warriors. Those 3 sht teams who've thrown up garbage performances all year. We should be sitting comfortably challenging for 1st on 34pts.

The only time we should ever look back is

To see how far we have come

and we have come a long way to be where we are feathered friend .

and the best is yet to come !!!

 

[torana355]

Storm looking disinterested against the tits

 

[susan]

More like they are getting penalised like they should have been for a decade.
No doubt Toddy will be on the phone at half time to resume normal transmission.

 

[robbiea]

Go the **** tits

 

[MissKate]

Guess the storm will get penalised (as they always should have been) for the next couple of weeks, until the finals start and then normal favoured treatment will resume for them from the refs

 

[globaleagle]

Gaz in the new mouthpiece for the storm. Every penalty is undeserved, all their plays are awesome, it's continuous, and sickening.

Half time whistle blows and boos' ring out throughout the ground and the fans all start re-reading the rules of nrl because they aren't sure why this isn't AFL.

Fkn Gasniers doing my head in. Praises Pappadom for getting back to the ball.....that he dropped in the first place you dope. Wouldn’t call Smiths forward pass on replay because of bad camera angle...it was a metre forward easily. Then from a worse camera angle judges Munsters forward pass to be definitely not forward. And to top it off. It was Watkins fault for pushing Ado-Carr into upending Arthurs.
Surely with technology, you should be able to just mute dickheads like Gasnier from the commentary.

 

[wombatgc]

Storm back to their usual hold downs in the ruck. Ref must’ve got the call at half time.

I think we prefer them to win. Theyll Be sitting more comfortable for minor prem
