Representative honours (& game day thread)

LOL commentators keep calling Campbell Graham as Ferguson

Fiji scooooooores a Rorters try as his foot was way out 😛

Brad took him out

Gazza on in 2nd qtr

Brad, Jake and Gazza all on now 🙂

This is boys v men. Hope no injuries

Wow, there is no crowd 😱

The Organizer should have opened the gates and let the poor local people enjoy the footy

There were even stories that most of the Fiji Team are unemployed.

Why make the locals feel left out by charging for the game

The kiddies who accompanied the players out should also have been gifted an outfit and shoes.
Such a shame that we don't make an effort to help these Island Nations 😕

That is an absolute stitch up. 100% tickets for this game should be free for all. The NRL want to expand rugby league, they should have opened the gates and covered costs for the entire day. Typical!

These locals don't even have cash with their barter style economy let alone cash to spare.

It really irks me that the NRL is so out of touch that they couldn't foresee the empty stands that could have been filled with happy people

Every Club could have sent a few dozen old jerseys and shorts to gift to the local players

ScoMo is now the waterboy 😛

Fiji scoooooooores #2

Seen nothing wrong with game in png. Big crowd and better local league players.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Absolutely should be free entry for all AND it would be packed . Stupid, stupid .......stupid!!

Reubs seems to be sporting a bandaged head band this half.

Which he has just thrown away. He's also currently on the left wing and seems to have replaced Brad Parker with Graham moving to centre.

 

[HappilyManly]

So far Jake played the first 30,
Brad about 50 and Gazza about 30 but got a head gash

Jake back on for last qtr and Gazza looks to be at FB

All 3 Manly players on for last 5 mins

They're saying that in 2020 Fiji will play the Ron Massey Cup so they may unearth a good squad

 

[HoldenV8]

They're being outclassed as expected, but against the professional Aussies these by and large amateur Fijian's aren't doing all that bad really.

And what an experience for these young fellas, just a pity they didn’t open the gates to let the locals in free of charge.

Well done Reuben Garrick. First try in senior representative football.

Gazza scores on the RHS after backing up from a Hoppa style backward flip pass

Some silky work by Reuben in the lead up to his try.

Caps off a fantastic year for him.

 

[HappilyManly]

52-10 would have been better with a packed ground

All Manly players look healthy

Exchanged jerseys and it showed up Jake's heavily bandaged right shoulder 😕
