Other Games [Round 8, 2022]

[ManlyTragic]

Well how many of you experts picked the Donkeys in the tipping ???

NOT ME!!

That’s why they won!

Just sayin’

I predicted a Sharks slump last week before they played us, unfortunately it came a week later than I’d hoped...was always going to happen though.

They’re a good side and they’ll bounce back but after a whirlwind start to the year that was full of high energy, it was inevitable that they would taper off at some stage before taking flight again. They’re a new side with a new coach and they’re still learning how it works at the top.

Credit to Brisbane for taking advantage, but that was a lethargic Sharks compared to what we’ve seen so I wouldn’t read too much into the result.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Krystian Mapapalangi named in the Knights 24 squad this week, unlikely to play this week, though he may get a chance sometime this season with the Knights struggling.

OMG just watch Fifita at Titans. The $1mil lazy arse decoy. He does nothing, never gets in position, doesn't support or look to get involved.

It’s just mind-numbingly stupid how the tits use him, or don’t use him.

LMAO so the big lump finally gets the ball and drops it cold. Penriff race away and he's back on the halfway line having a rest. Fuk me dead.

Maybe that’s why they don’t give him the ball

Fisher-Harris gets away with murder around the ruck every single tackle, the Panthers are starting to become as insufferable to watch as the Storm.

 

[mickqld]

Well those 2 decisions just illustrated exactly what everyone knows. Favoured decisions to the favoured teams. What a joke it just happens every time.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Still really enjoy watching Brian Kelly play despite having left years ago.

Felt like Penrith’s win streak got protected in this 2nd half. After Holbrook publicly called out some teams getting favouritism earlier in the season.

A very expensive Dave Taylor.

 

[Captain Moondog]

Roosters are 7 meters offside says Brandy, like it's something unusual.

 

[pt73]

So who will claim responsibility for the win by the Dogs, Gould or Trent ?

Roosters we’re just pathetic.

 

[DSM5]

Interesting how better teams drop their intensity when playing against bottom feeders. I hope we don’t next Saturday. Tom back will help.

 

[Rafferty]

Roosters we’re just pathetic.

Yep not even the ref could get them home

 

[mickqld]

Hahaha now I've heard it all. The bunker clown can determine the difference between a quote"natural motion" step toward the ball and a deliberate play at the ball for a 6 again call.

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

I really enjoy watching Peta Hiku play. He's so reliable and calm under pressure.

An asset for every team he's played for.

 

[Rackets]

Who cares mick it went against the slime and they lost their challenge.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

A sentence I didn't think I'd be saying this season: "I wish Manly played more like the Cowboys." They played some outstanding footy in both attack and defence in that half. No panic in the defensive line and deliberate, structured sets of six in attack. They've been great.

Agree. And I was thinking how great their fitness in defence held up in such hot and humid conditions but then they might be a bit acclimatised to it being based in Northern Queensland.
Very impressive just the same.
