Round 18 - Non Manly Games

[HappilyManly]

Its NAIDOC week, so probably related to that

The Dogs loss is Manly's gain - so go the non-Dogs.

The Biff may make a comeback. Ennis is just itching to be sent off :huh:

 

[RiverEagle]

I got home about an hour ago (to see the Warriors score).

Totally missed that party, but will watch NRL Try Time for sure.

And yep...hoping the Purple haze suffocate the Dogs!

Tho Dogs back in front, just, now.

 

[Jerry1]

Refs bringing the storm back now.

 

[manlyfan76]

Surely the refs will manufacture a cam smith victory.

I hope so mate!

 

[HappilyManly]

You can't rely on those Scumos for anything

 

[Brissie Kid]

Dogs win i can cop. The lesser of two evils.

 

[RiverEagle]

What a smug self-centred call by Scam to go for that goal from there!

I know the Dogs winning sucks, but the Scum deserved that.

And we should stay 1st with our PD now anyway.

 

[wombatgc]

No James Graham and the Dogs get pummelled.
Definitely my fav non-Manly player.
The extra efforts he does reminds me of Menzies.

 

[damiennp90]

I really wish we'd have beat the dogs. We'd be 4 points ahead of them and could rub it in. Not that I think they'll be any challenge come finals time.

 

[Slide]

Happy thought for the night:

If the Titans can find a way to beat Canberra by a margin of 25+ then Melbourne will drop out of the 8.

 

[RiverEagle]

So when the Squeels are off, they're still deadset rotten.

The Dogs win the arm-wrestle down south.

Tomorrow the Gummies can make it 3 in a row at home; or will the Noughts still lift despite Bennett's plans to jump ship?

Faders could get spanked on the Gold Coast.

And then MAYBE the Bronx can topple the 'Riff out west on Monday night (and help Us get a game clear).

double point tipping game....same old same old from me. picked the scum by 1 point....but the dogs won.

I watched most of that game in fast forward as the storm are just too vile to watch, but it seemed a very good defensive effort by the bulldogs.

credit where credit's due?

I agree with credit where its due.. though if the nrl site is correct

storm - 358 tackles
scumdogs - 275 tackles.. ( difference 83 )

Scumdogs only won by 2 , conversion. 1st half at 4-0 storm had penalties with the choice of going for 2 but chose to keep attacking.. may have been a different result.

In todays game , a good goal kicker is vital

scumdogs & bunnies even cowboys are well advanced in that department.

 

[RiverEagle]

And...No credit to either from me!

Still think it apt the Scum lost (after Smith tried to be a hero, kicking the penalty from an impossible spot).

I switched to the Swans/Carlton game A LOT, such is my dislike of both.

Thanks for a heads-up too @Slide

Will be cheering on the T!ts for a thumping over the Faders there now!

 

[manlyfan76]

Titans v faiders. My prediction: the lowest crowd of the year.

 

[RiverEagle]

Safe to say the Titans won't win by 25+!

In fact a very unlikely upset is on the cards there.

Looks to be a Faders win for sure now, in fact.

 

[ALinda]

Yep that's it for the Titans this year. If they can't beat the Raiders at home, then they've got no hope! Fair dinkum, they should be so much better.

There goes my tipping but good on the Raiders.

 

[mickqld]

Surely Cartwright is gone. They can't keep him for another couple of years.

 

[RiverEagle]

Yeah quite the feat, getting flogged at home by the Faders.

He's on a million for the next 2 yrs up there (Cartwright)

Unless they pay him out and cut their losses.
