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

[KNUCKLES]

We have no punch on the edges, only players looked likely are haumole and turbo. Will be more of the same next year unfortunately!

 

[Scorpio]

Des should have gone with Walker in place of Suli.

Same problem.

Can attack, can tackle, but can't make defensive reads at centre very well.

 

[eaglebuzz]

We need to belt them for 20 mins then start feeding some early ball to Tom. Otherwise there's not much point even running back out for the second half. Scoring four tries is not hard for this team, but it will be impossible if we keep playing this dumb.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

I think the traffic jam may have unsettled the boys, Dessie will straighten them out during half time.

 

[Arko-admirer]

I just want us to turn it on the second, even if we don't win play entertaining footy

 

[MadMarcus]

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

Agree completely. Every bounce of the ball has gone their way. If it evens up a bit in the 2nd half I think we can make the score respectable.

 

[lsz]

It is the hope that kills you..I can see us get close then get robbed in some way

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

Our guys look exhausted more than flustered. No completions, not holding the ball. Can't win without ball.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

40 mins to show they have go
40 mins to make a come back
Live in hope yeah
If they can get 22 in 40 mins Manly can get 24

Like I said the last time Suli played ... he can tackle, we've seen him do it. But he reads the defence at a pre-school level.

Thankfully after this year he's no longer a hole in our defensive line.

Harper has been more costly this game, I don’t rate suli but Harper just can’t stick a tackle

I know you will pull me up in it but our captain has been ordinary again tonight, can you defend him this game?

 

[Snake]

He thinks we're playing touch footy. 18 nil down slides over the sideline and gets up laughing. Pull ya head in DCE

He hasn’t played well but I don’t think he was laughing in the way you perceived him to be. It was more a laugh of disbelief as he was about to go through and find support but like everything else, the gods were against us.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Des should have gone with Walker in place of Suli. Moses has failed often enough to show he isn't first grade quality.

Noooooo, but he is the Monster Mash. He is the saviour. He has been unjustly kept from his destiny by that slow hack, Parker [tongue firmly planted in cheek]

 

[eaglebuzz]

Harper has been more costly this game, I don’t rate suli but Harper just can’t stick a tackle

I know you will pull me up in it but our captain has been ordinary again tonight, can you defend him this game?

He has caused so many early set turnovers, it's like the Storm match all over again. Pushing passes and running way too close to the sideline.

 

[The Royal Soup]

It’s all over boys, forget about it

We don’t have the pack to win the comp and Keppie going off has killed us

 

[Chuck]

Yes we are making mistakes in possession, but we still scored 2 tries. Souths tries have been other than the last, were from back to back help from the refs. Even C Walkers try was scored (I did the slow mo cause I wasn't sure) but the Souths player who handed the back was offside at the ruck so it should have been called back.

What I don't get is the restarts when Souths are attacking, they get them EVERY time, we get smashed in tackles held onto but all we get is milking. That is Cr%p.

We have not been given EQUAL opportunity and it is a joke. Souths unbelievable great, great attack.... it is a rort!

We scored two tries? But we're on 0.

 

[HK_Eagle]

We have no punch on the edges, only players looked likely are haumole and turbo. Will be more of the same next year unfortunately!

Unfortunately, Ola has been flat-footed the few times he's got the ball and planted on his a$$ going backwards more than once

 

[George Rose's Butcher]

Not a good look @George Rose's Butcher I feel your pain but don't give up on the boys. They are feeling it much more than us. Go Manly.

I really dont care right now they botched a grand final appearance. Unforgivable mistakes and all round garbage from all of them. Wouldn't feed any of them for a week! Dce for a month, he's supposed to led us. He led us into the ground.

 

[Chuck]

Happy to be proven wrong, however, we are not the type of squad that has a dig and makes a massive comeback.

Currently we are flat track bullies. Until we prove otherwise.

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

Souths will be in the sheds getting their Grand Final photos done, hopefully they come out in the second half with white flash circles in their eyes.

 

[Jerry1]

Rather the bunnies win than the storm

Noooooo, but he is the Monster Mash. He is the saviour. He has been unjustly kept from his destiny by that slow hack, Parker [tongue firmly planted in cheek]

Parker wouldn’t have changed the score line. It runs deeper than that. When DCE gets up laughing at his errors then it’s all over.
