Round 11: Other Games (2018)

[HappilyManly]

Hard to say, but giddyup Broncs

 

[Aussie Battler]

They could have done with Kenny Edwards elusiveness tonight !

 

[qldeagle]

An Eels loss is almost as good as a Manly win. To have both to me as the ultimate weekend.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Dead last.... BLOODY OATH

And staying there!!

No one more thing , a Donkeys loss as well!!

Then you are talking.

 

[mave]

And to think I thought the Eels might win and so picked them in the tipping Comp!

Yeah I know, I’m a dickhead!!

Let's gone Warriors !!

 

[Harvies elbow]

24-14 Warriors - suck it Parra 😀

Great news.
I turned it off when they were coming back.
And the sight of adhd guvvo bouncing around celebrating the fact that someone held a pass or something equally trivial was making me ill.
Enjoy the loss parra.
You're good at it !!

Someone mentioned before we need no runaway leaders. We do. The more the top 3 or 4 keep winning, the more compressed 5-8 becomes, giving us a better shot at the 8 if we get on a roll.

Exactly, thats why the Broncs need to win now.

Then Manly can vault a few in one go in a few rounds

 

[Harvies elbow]

It's sad how the art of tackling has declined in the modern game.
Players putting their heads in the wrong place and getting knocked out.
It's the first thing we were taught as kids at one time.
Sure people got knocked out doing that in the past but 85-90% of tackles were round the legs. Now most of these younger blokes seem to have very little technique.
Jake excluded.

Dunno HM, I reckon the Chooks have more upside. But a draw would be cool.

 

[EagleGT]

Watch the Eels first try. Decoy runner makes contact on outside shoulder. How many tries have been disallowed this year for exactly that? Including Manly tries. But suddenly it's discretionary and try awarded.

 

[HappilyManly]

Another dummy half throw into a defender penalty - boring

 

[Disco]

God I hate that, Milford milking a penalty by passing point blank at Napa

Play on

Its going to be the new trend

8-1 penalties in favour to Broncos and only 4 nil ahead.

Footy 101 when I was 8!!

 

[HoldenV8]

Latrell Mitchell has shown twice tonight why he and not Jame Roberts will be in NSW Blue this year.

Roberts may be the fastest centre anywhere, but he's also a speed bump in defence. Every time I have seen him try to tackle Mitchell in the past 2 years he just gets run over or pushed off. The Chooks two tries tonight have come through two missed tackles from Roberts on his opposite centre.

Have to feel for Roberts with that last tackle he took though. A knee to the goolies.....ouch.

 

[maxta]

Wish me luck-
Oates first try
City 1-4 halftime
City 7-12 full time
$2- outlay
$1002- Winner....I hope

Agree mate
So busy teaching these kids how to dance and slow the play ball, forget where to put their heads and also these hand grabs are more suited to touch footy

Still not as good as Will Smiths one. That was just ridiculous.
