Game Day: Souths v Manly [Finals Week 3, 2021]

[Ned]

Matt Thompson is an absolute mouth breathing moron. I'm switching to kayo for the 2nd half.

 

[yokahontas]

Where’s Manly a 6 agains

Big difference between getting one around halfway on tackle 2, versus the late in the count ones Klein’s been handing Souffs inside our 20. Cheating prick.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

If not for BOZO I wouldn’t rip into Suli as hard as this. We should farken ship Suli to Siberia

 

[Jerry1]

I can’t watch any more. Really we were lucky to make top 4.

I guess flat track bullies says it all.

Nighters people - see ya’ll next season.

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

Too many errors. We we make an error South’s make us pay. When Souths make an error we throw it around and don’t build pressure.

 

[HK_Eagle]

What has happened to Marty? Zero penetration and getting stopped dead in his tracks but small defenders. I remember when he used to carry the biggest men up field every carry.

 

[Raffa]

What the actual hell are we doing out there? Is it that difficult to complete a set? SERIOUSLY WHAT THE ****

 

[The Indian]

Wece committed headless chicken Football suicide again and we've also had no luck whatsoever to be fair.

Pity too cause with a share of field position and possession we'd shred these rabbits.

So frustrating wasted opportunities. Hold.the ball 2nd half we'll scare them. Still

 

[wombatgc]

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark!

 

[George Rose's Butcher]

Maybe they will turn up after half time.

Its over bobby boy. Take out the king grub walker is all we can do now for the people

 

[eaglebuzz]

DCE is having his worst game of the season, you can tell by the look on his face before a game whether he is going to play like a headless chook or not and he had the headless chook look tonight.

 

[lsz]

I read it a little different

We have had no luck - two tries to them off kicks and some bad luck from us could have seen the score 12-12.

I am not saying we will go on to win but the score line is also not reflective of the game

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

Good season only to get this close and play like this we dont deserve to be there next week anyway !!

 

[Steve76]

That’s why Des picks Parker every week….

Parker would have fallen over his own feet and dislocated his knee by now.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

What has happened to Marty? Zero penetration and getting stopped dead in his tracks but small defenders. I remember when he used to carry the biggest men up field every carry.

Marty looks good physically but he has never been the one to lead our forward pack when we need it

 

[Simonmyers11]

No luck tonight and no go forward. You can’t compete if you don’t make the meters

yep, felt when keppie went off, lost some aggression in the middle.

has not been our night, bombed two tries, they had some lucky 5th tackle kicks go their way, and we have not built any pressure, we have made too many errors, plus some missed tackles again proving costly

 

[Ranga]

And that's it for me unfortunately. Can't watch this anymore.

South's playing faster and smarter. Simple finals football, play for field position and repeat sets. Apply pressure until they break. Not rocket science. All about building pressure knowing we haven't absorbed it all year.

I don't think the ref's have had a bearing on this game tbh. As the rules stand, neither of our "tries" were legitimate. Bunker had to disallow both.

We just aren't good enough to compete at this level. No shame in that with a young side and where we started the year.

See you all next year on the hill!

I agree the refs haven't had a bearing on this game. The thing is, we are only a fraction off but at this time of the year, you get absolutely punished. We could get away with it against any team other than the top 3.

 

[eagleron]

Maybe they will turn up after half time.

We've let the horse bolt but with a bit of possession in the 2nd half at least we can make the score respectable

 

[JakeyB789]

I genuinely think we need to start thinking about a new halfback. Absolutely disgraceful from someone who’s played for 10+ years, for state and country, to be playing with zero composure and forcing so many errors when we are already under so much pressure.

 

[eaglebuzz]

Keppie's failed HIA was a massive blow. We've been on the back foot ever since.
