Game Day: Penrith v Manly [Round 8, 2021]

[KOMORI]

Garrick man of match for riff

Ashley Klein says “Oi bloke whataboutme!”

 

[bob dylan]

A fair go by the refs and decent goal kicking we just about win that.

 

[The Royal Soup]

I’m back baby! After being on holidays for two weeks

I don’t see us winning this, Panthers get this one 28-16

I called it

I am the king

 

[HoldenV8]

You know something? I'll take that against this Penrith side. They are far and away the best side in the comp and we competed with them today. Competing isn't winning obviously, but given everything I think we went OK for the most part.

 

[The '47ers]

Hope Des rips Klien a new one in the press conference.

As you've all heard..

Serves them right for ball watching!!!!

we area stupid team

What is wrong with you. One if not the most negative moaning bastards I've ever crossed. Jog on champion......

 

[Nordburg]

Hope Des rips Klien a new one in the press conference.

Why stoop to Ricky Stuart’s level?

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

I called it

I am the king

Got lucky

Pretty good effort from Manly. We only gave that last try to them because we needed the ball to have any chance of winning.
I do think a decent hooker would have made that game different. When we have the ball in the opposition 20, we need to make better use of quick play-the-balls. So often the markers were shot and Croker just casually picks the ball up and dishes off.

 

[globaleagle]

I think Jake thinks that if he looks really tired...the ref will take it easy on him and let him get up slower

lol

 

[Dan]

Given we played Penrith... "We done good"

 

[QLDSeaeagle]

I will be back later I'm feeling a little New Age at the moment

 

[Maxim]

friendly reminder that we pay Jake more than what the Sharks are offering Reynolds

Well not embarrassed today.

Panthers are a f$$$king dirty team , they played like that today.

We are back, I saw enough today with turbo playing we could take the Panthers again if we meet them in the finals.

Warriors watch out on a sunny Sunday afternoon next weekend at brookvale we could put 40 on them if we play like we did today.

Yes we did not get the win but I saw enough to be optimistic for the season ahead.

 

[JBW]

So much better in defence than we were a month ago, would have loved the win but if we eliminate some of the simple errors we win that. Credit to Penriths defence, especially on the right side, not many sides would have held us out. Keep this up and avoid injuries and we become a serious danger team come September.

Game was there for the taking.
Dumb coaching, lack of intent from the no 7 and a pathetic attempt of playing rugby league again from Garrick.
Close but so far

Dud coaching? Credibility lost? Against a team that has won 23 straight? - wanka is what first comes to mind, but that is just my opinion.

Great effort - we are there abouts right now.

I think early on,their left side caused havoc,but Harper and co recovered well.The team still has trouble stopping the offload and second phase play though

 

[hozza]

We lost but showed plenty of heart and grit, that’s all you can ask against the bench mark team

 

[globaleagle]

Marty got taken off after that high tackle.

last year he said his concussion really shook him up.

Hopefully he doesn't take 16 games this time to recover as he's been playing well.
