Game Day: Panthers V Manly [Round 8, 2025]

[MANLY4LIFE]

I like how they have got a player in the bin then get piggy backed down the field “suddenly”

 

[HK_Eagle]

So Cleary is the only player amidst this stupid crack down who can pull out a good old coat hanger and crickets... lol

 

[HoldenV8]

I’ll have Belinda you can have The Badges’s misses

Both are married FYI

Belinda Sharpe started her NRL refereeing career as Belinda Sleeman.

 

[Ashton Davis]

A lot going our way but we are making our luck as well

 

[HK_Eagle]

This swing is on DCE. We had them on the rack, and instead of kicking in to goal and controlling the game, he throws it out the back to a marked Turbo to be tackled on the last. Cleary in complete contrast up the other end, manages the game for repeat sets, killing valuable time while a player down. Therein is a huge difference between the two.

 

[Ashton Davis]

Brooks, take a bow. Doing some good stuff in defence

 

[HK_Eagle]

Listen to those feral Panfer fans... lol

 

[Captain Moondog]

Both are married FYI

That's ok, I'm easy going.

 

[Ashton Davis]

This scoreline brought about by holding on to the ball and good discipline in defence. We haven’t held the Panthers in this sort of position for a while

 

[Chunkytuna]

Get gordie off and Simpkin back on. Chalk and cheese.

 

[HoldenV8]

Good performance by the lads in that first 40.
Turbo is done. Mentally shot. Clutching at his other knee. Afraid to contest kicks and put his body on the line. He can never again play at 100% owing to his injury fears.
He's a perfect candidate for medical retirement or shop him around if there are other clubs willing to pay overs for an amazing player who will be available for less than 50% of games.

Turbo is also a player who would likely ask Manly to only pay him the minimum the NRL values him at rather than chasing another big $$$ contract from Manly or anyone else.

 

[WAMF]

Tom looks wooden.

He's done. Mentally shot. You can never play at 100% when you fear injury at any moment.

 

[Uber Eagle 72]

So far so good but a long way to go!

 

[HoldenV8]

That's ok, I'm easy going.

Is it swings and misses or swings with others missus

 

[bob dylan]

Brooks even playing well.

 

[God]

Jazz > @ 13 than Jake

 

[Uk eagle]

Get gordie off and Simpkin back on. Chalk and cheese.

Who'd have thought that having a running threat at dummy half would cause defensive issues for the opposition?

 

[Bomb Voyage]

Good first half. Discipline and hard running always the way. DCE headless chook. Tom looks okay, his impact has been more about his presence than input, bar the tap on. Liking Simpkins and Jazz.

 

[WAMF]

Turbo is also a player who would likely ask Manly to only pay him the minimum the NRL values him at rather than chasing another big $$$ contract from Manly or anyone else.

I love Turbo but we need to be realistic. Time to shop him around.

 

[Rocky]

If Seibold doesn't keep Jazz at 13 and Simpkins at 9 for the rest of the season, then he really is clueless.
