Other Games [Round 8, 2022]

[Dion Johnson]

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.

Their defence is very impressive, similar to the Panthers with the up in your face at speed.

Payton has done a good job up there.

woohoo

I'm 1 from 6

wtf happened this weekend?

 

[eaglebuzz]

I'd rather lose by 18 with 12 men to last year's grand finallists than lose by 31 to the Cowboys

 

[mickqld]

Just came home and saw the Parra score. I'm assuming they had a player sent off early . . .

Mate they could put an opposition player on the rack and still not get penalised.

I’m with ya. One of the commentators said this round should be called Crazy round.
I suppose it’d be asking too much in the craziness stakes if the Knights could knock off the Scum. Now that would be crazy!

 

[mickqld]

Took all of 3 min for the whistle clown to miss a drizzle knockon. Nec minute try purplescum.

Gee the storm get away with a lot...

I've seen at least 4 blatant set restarts that haven't been called on them. But of course there's no bias, no script...I mean tip sheets.

 

[Brissie Kid]

Storm and Penrith all have their 'legal' ways of getting quick line speed for themselves and the opposite of the opposition.

Try watching the Eels every play the ball. They NEVER do it properly. Always getting a quick roll ball away and never getting fully to their feet. Didn't help last night thankfully. JWH also seems to have a licence to not play the ball properly either.

I can't believe how long they are allowed to slow down the ruck. How the NRL deny the inconsistency is a joke.

O'Briens really under the cosh now, if the score line blows out to the high 40's and beyond, I think he's not far off gonski's tbh.

I’m not aware of who you are talking about.

Yep ,dead man walking.

 

[pt73]

Pongo is really stepping up as captain to rally the team.

They’re now dead last after today’s “contest”.

They have the Cowboys next week, could be a very quiet flight back home.

 

[mickqld]

So Molo just did what Guac did. Penalty only. Farcical.

 

[MissKate]

Good on ch9 picking another great game for their prime times Sunday afternoon slot. Drags & tigs, what a woeful game. Halfway through the second half and it is 2 nil to the tigs. Is it any wonder why the tigs are going so bad. They get a penalty right in front of the posts with 1 min 20 left on the clock before half time and they opt to run it - fail fail fail

Why wouldn't they run it ?

Already up by 2, now with a full set on the opposition tryline.
I'd be most dissapointed if they took a shot to make it 4-nil.

 

[mickqld]

With Turbo and Gauc back we better put 50 on that lot. Woeful both teams. Zero attack from either team.

Let's just hope our boys don't show up thinking easy win and get their pants pulled down like dogs did to the chooks yesterday.

So I gather by your response, you obviously don't rate the guy...lol.
