Game Day: Raiders v Manly [Round 6, 2020]

[Clint]

Ol Billy boy tipped Manly on the Footy Show. If that isn’t a candidate for an HIA, nothing is!

[lsz]

What a team we have...so gutsy no matter who is out there

 

[Clint]

We are going to win this

Yes yes yes we are...

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Happy to be wrong... I fear our season is rooted now but this will be the win of the season from any team in the comp.. tough and gritty..

I predict you will be very happy in coming months.

Brendan is gonna make terrible decisions at FB

Fair go mate are you a fan of this team or not. Guy filled in fine last year and again tonight. Give itself an uppercut!

 

[simon64]

What an effort.

Just kept tackling. And Sirro's tackle on Rapana was freakish stuff.

And just in case everyone hasn't realised it yet. If it wasn't for that ridiculous call against the Slime, we'd be first. This is gonna bite us comes season's end.

Great team win. With injuries the semis are a long way away, blood some fringe players.

Field was a disgrace

 

[Will on the hill]

If you told me we lost Walker, Parker and Turbo during the game on top of Suli, Jorge and Marty, I'd have asked how much we lost by. To only concede 1 try against a top team is simply amazing. Famous victory, makes you proud to be a Manly supporter.

 

[Shoe1]

Terrible surface.

hold your heads high manly, hopefully the troops are back soon but we can build a season on that like in 2011v easts.

 

[Simonmyers11]

That was such a great win. Very sad about Tom, he was going to win Daly M this year. Hopefully not out for too long. So good supporting a team that plays with that much heart. well done boys. Amazing

 

[Tomay]

other than the injuries, Levi’s tendency to play selfish inside the opponents 20 is a major worry. He screwed up two quick play the balls early in the game. He gave away a few penalties too.
I really want to like him and know he made a bunch of tackles but I don’t know if he has the footy smarts to be the hooker to lead us to a premiership.

Cherry just said "faaark" on Fox LOL

 

[robbiea]

Gutsy win boys ,go Manly.............

 

[Ben]

What a tough win. Always is against the Raiders but this was special. Playing with 14 players and only conceding one try against a dangerous team is massive.
Tommy and Walker out for a little while isn’t too bad in my books. These set backs and backs to the wall bring out the best in us.
They will come back into a team full of belief

 

[40 years an eagle]

Waddell back for the ineffective Jetski next week please Des.

The rest were great.

 

[sheridanstand78]

What a brave and gutsy win, one of the best in our history. 3 players down, other players injured and two players already missing and they turned up and repelled a talented and dangerous team and frustrated them into error. I often talk about the spirit of 78 and what that team did to win that premiership. This team showed some of that today and this is a win that warms the heart of our fans as we saw 17 heroes spill blood for the club and win under incredible adversity. I really hope that young Tom and Dylan are not too badly injured. I must compliment Brendan Elliot for doing a fantastic job at centre and later fullback, Jack came on and played a great role covering the gap at centre and Croker was incredible considering that he is carrying injuries. One thing beyond doubt is that we know that this team will have a crack every week and to see our character shine like that tells me that success is a distinct possibility for this team!

Field was a disgrace

Yes Craig had his moments.

But seriously if that had been Brookvale, you wouldn’t hear the end of it from the commentators, press, et al.
