Game Day: NYC2017 EF1 - Manly v Cowboys

[Bird of Prey]

Some good news at last , well done Manly.

 

[The Wheel]

Great stuff boys onwards and upwards- it was nice seeing the Riff getting done in the early game last night

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

How did Tom Wright play this week?

 

[The '47ers]

I hope the club looks to wrap up Tevita Funa ASAP. There was a few clubs circling him earlier this year, he needs to stay here. Absolute gun.

And hire the kid a goal kicking coach!

Shifted to fullback early through injury to Anderson.

He did well defensively, suprisingly.
Made a few 1 v 1 tackles from linebreaks.

Thanks Mave

Brilliant effort from our boys to beat the highly rated Cowpokes.

And no bunker to take it from us .......

Made my day after last nights disappointment

 

[Ryan]

We have some really, REALLY talented lads coming through guys.

Who were your pick Ryan ?
I did not see the game .

 

[pt73]

I watched most of the game.

The #9 Manase Fainu, #7 Cade Cust, #3 Tevita Funa and #13 Haumole Olakau’atu were excellent.

Tom Wright had a good game too.

 

[Smokin Joe]

Off to the Raiders i think they just said

Sorry mate,didn't see the game,who is off to the Raiders?

 

[pt73]

I think the big ranger forward who played for the Cowpokes, he took the ball up strongly.

 

[The '47ers]

Sorry mate,didn't see the game,who is off to the Raiders?

Yeah, as @pt73 said above, the ranga brokeback cowboy we were having a giggle at earlier.

 

[Fluffy]

NYC Sea Eagles eliminate wasteful Cowboys

Manly have produced the biggest upset of this year's Holden Cup finals series with a 30-16 win over the fifth-placed Cowboys who were well below par despite being boosted by the inclusion of Kalyn Ponga from a rotator cuff injury.

Having snuck into the playoffs by just seven points on for and against, the Sea Eagles made the most of their good fortune to book a place in Week Two of the finals while North Queensland will be left wondering what could have been after they fumbled and bumbled their way through a game they were tipped to win.

Tavita Funa to the centers next year or 2. An exciting prospect there along the Izzy Folau lines.

Wow. That 'unbiased' report was obviously written by a Manly-hater.
Nothing to do with Manly scoring many more tries than the opposition - it was all "good fortune" because the Cowboys "bumbled and fumbled".
I must admit I didn't see the match.
'Tent' suffered a knee injury last game and missed the match. Hopefully he'll be right for next week 'cause he is the biggest Under 20 you've ever seen, even though his ability doesn't always match his size.

Manly v Cronulla in Holden Cup semi final next Saturday at ANZ Stadium. Kick off 5pm.
