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

[Deleted member 26876]

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.

We were the 4th best team at the end of the season. Just don’t have the patience or belief to weather the top teams in the big games it appears. Inexperience on the edges evident.

We were always going to need at least 50% of possession.
Garrick's try was a try every day of the week. Reynolds would have needed a motorbike to get involved in the play. It's 100% bullsh!t.
We'll need 2 or 3 miracles not just one to get out of this.
I'll actually be cheering for anyone besides these Glory Glory pr!cks next week. Even the Scum.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Pretty quiet in the supporters bay , we are a bit shell shocked to be honest.

I am lost for words

Wow

That hurts more than the storm game.

I know you can all laugh but souths were there for the taking tonight and we are playing dumb dumb footy.

No chance now.

I feel sorry for the fans that have to watch this live at the ground.

Very dark night for us.

Again lost for words this hurts badly.

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.

DCE is amazing when we're on the front foot. God awful at times like this.

It's not over till the fat lady sings

 

[Snake]

What was foran doing there josh had reynolds fmd

That was Suli’s fault for rushing up on Taafe. Foran stays at the lead runner and then pushes off. If Suli hasn’t rushed up, we were fine for numbers.

People really blaming the refs for this **** show?

We are just nowhere on defense. Our edge defense on both sides is amateur hour. Harper has been well and truly found out these finals.

We have split their line four times in like 9 sets.

Unfortunately our defense is hot garbage.

 

[Eagles4Life]

Ok guys. We have saved the worst for last. Throw in Kliens obvious bias, South's getting all the luck, and Manly consistently choosing the wrong options in attack and defence. Yes it's a dogs breakfast. In this case a rabbits breakfast.
But with 40 minutes to go we just have to focus on winning the second half. We might not win this game, but I am proud of the boys to get this far, and proud to be Manly. Go Manly.

 

[Under the Sticks]

Dce once again lacking any composure... and is Garrick playing?!

Suli is inside him

The nine sets is the real problem, we've given them so much ball.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

F%#&Kin errors
Might not go on and win but get even share of possession and cut the errors will score some tries but just need to stop there’s
Still a chance not giving up yet but that might be the rum talking

 

[hozza]

I can handle losing. But I can’t take getting pumped by Storm first week, now Souths. Our big name players need to show some heart this second half and have a proper dig. We aren’t going to win it but get a little pride in the jumper..

 

[Chuck]

The nine sets is the real problem, we've given them so much ball.

Yep 100%.

Honestly we needed to score 24+ to win this game as we were never gonna grind out a prelim.

That Keppie offload sticks and this is an entirely different ballgame.

 

[deanm]

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.

Probably because all we are doing is tackling because we have zero go forward and are trying to go around them. We are getting what we deserve.

 

[davohan123]

The ref's are not our problem tonight people.

Sadly even suli is playing better than dce tonight..I am dce's biggest fan but tonight he has gone missing.

Suli Croker and Keepie best on ground!!

Hang in there brother. We’ve got 40 to get our shiit together.

 

[Showbagz]

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.

Yep, that fraction off just isn't going to cut it.

Harper is a fraction slow following dce from dummy half, we end up in touch.

Turbo goes for the all or nothing play against a good defense, we drop it.

Suli doesn't run through line cleanly, no try.

Against another team during year, we probably score all 3 times. Against experienced finals team, it just doesn't cut it. We will be better for the experience next year.

 

[eagleron]

Cmon souths 40 nil these pea heart ****s

That's a very unmanly thing to say, wash your mouth out

 

[Genius]

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

No wonder you are a reserve grader.
