Post-Game Discussion Sharks v Manly [Round 20, 2021]

[SeaEagleRock8]

Probably! I reckon @Dan or @Chip and Chase have to power to change those 'thread prefixes'

Maybe @Jethro does as well.

But as the token n00b mod, I don't.

It was a joke, Joyce

How about Des in the presser last night, sounded like Des Vader in his mask, his breathing is noticeable at any time but that was borderline suicidal, poor bloke wouldn’t last long as a lecturer in that get up.

Paseka fine, Harper nothing

Paseka fine, Harper nothing

Great news for both as they are key for us against the Drizzle.

Massive call by Sutton to put both on report, he's an absolute shocker.

 

[davohan123]

see i was right tank only facing a fine for that trip and only grade 1

so glad this is the result and he is free to play this weekend

the Harper report was just ridiculous, glad it wasn't a penalty.
Paseka penalty and fine was all that was needed and that's what he got.

 

[Shoe1]

I just watched the game again, skipping the last 10 min of each half.

In the cold light of day, schuster did lots of quality work, and parker's tough runs and quick play the balls got Manly in the field position for many of the tries.

It doesn't look as bad on second look. The last 15mins gave a few blokes a hit-out playing in different positions - sironen in the middle, lawton at dummy half. Also tom, jake, croker rested, and paseka in the bin. Sharks got 3 or 4 6 agains.

So I'm not too dirty about that ending under the circumstances.

Couldn't agree more Shoe1, it was a warmish night, game was fairly physical from start to finish. Sironen would of liked the hit out, between him and Alloi for the bench spot you would think. With Keppie to come back soon, we are in a good position going forward.

So Paseka and Rudolph were put in the bin for 10 mins, charged with a grade 1 and cop a $1500 fine.

A reasonable person would think therefore that, for foul play, a grade 1 offence justifies 10 mins in the bin.

But no.

Trindall was also charged with a grade 1 offence and fined $1500 for a head high tackle but didnt go to the bin. Other players in the round were charged with a higher grading and will be suspended but were not binned for their foul play.

I started to get a bit worked up but then I remember the famous words of Todd, “consistency is overrated”.

So after one poor game you want to drop Parker, move Walker to left centre, and run with 4 forwards on the bench?

Lawton is a specialist 9 mate. He can play backrow at a stretch. He's played in the halves in the juniors.

Parker, yes, I'd drop him for a world class centre, and that's Dylan Walker. in my opinion. Faster, more skilled, can kick, can take a high ball.

Parker for mine has been pretty poor for a while.

World class centre?!?! You’re a comedian.

5 seasons ago sure when he was Dally M centre.

Aaron Woods must be still be a world class prop too. He was Dally M Prop 5 seasons ago.

Just my opinion mate. Walker's just turned 26 btw.

 

[grassy]

Why is Walker always at the centre of controversy, both on and off the field?
As soon as he came on the Cronulla Sharks made a beeline to him because he is a weakness, and it worked. Our play went to mush in the last 20 minutes because they forgot about playing football and started having the defend this dipstick.
He is the one player in our squad who will lose us important matches.

Walker is the centre of controversy because Karma is a bitch. Walker can play but his mental state is what the players prey on. When you act like a dick on and off the field in public view, then it’s going to affect your ability to go forward in a high profile game. If it was me, I would be ashamed and it would eat away at me for ever. That’s life. I must admit though I have not seen him act like a dick for a long while now and I hope he comes good because he can play well on a good day. Now it’s up to him. Having said that, i could see this coming 3 odd years ago.Maybe it’s time to forgive, I dunno.

Walker was a world class centre, and probably has the potential to be so again.

But given how well Parker has gone in both attack and defense this year you'd have to be crazy to swap him for walker IMO.

Hi Ranga love your posts but please try and refrain from bringing up CEO imposter Greenturd . The very mention of his name gives me cold shivers and the maniacal hatred he had for Manly was just out of control.When I think about the injustices that grub dealt out to us ,he was totally unfiltered and unfazed by the bias he always showed against us ,he thought he was untouchable ,its like a nightmare thinking about it.
Anyway the good news is that he is busily ****ing up cricket so lets hope that stain on rugby league never ever darkens our door again.
Can you imagine the state Rugby League would be in if that amoeba was still in charge.
PVL is not perfect but we are all so lucky he could see what we could see ,that Greenturd had run the NRL into the ground and had to go ,and inlight of the Covid crisis we can count our lucky stars .
Anyway great win last night ,Go Manly
