Souths v Manly [Round 23 2013]

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

what was with the pre-recorded south sydney chants? Doing it tough when you have to resort to that to lift your fans.

Doesn't make any diff regardless of the result. We have a semi in Sydney. Could be a good thing , Souths over confident goin into a semi against us..

 

[Ralphie]

I still think we were the better team on the night. We had the ascendency but some how let it go. We were obviously the best team for most of the match but just lapsed in important stages. There's nothing to say we can't win the comp, it's just getting the stupid little stuff out of our game like being pushed off scrims or line drop outs that reach touch. Just lapses in concentration that we'll learn. Ultimately take confidence, we were the the better team

What a crock.

Three weeks out from the finals and we haven't beaten a single top 4 team this season. Tonight we played a souffs team that was as weak as it's going to be and we were well beaten. We are complete pretenders. It pains me to say it, but we will be cannon fodder to the top 3 come finals time.

 

[speedemon]

Lyon was pretty much copping those bull**** penalties on the chin all night, then as soon as GI gives one away for a blatant flop he cries like a baby. protected species, wow I hate him.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Not a terrible result for us

I couldn't see us winning the comp with 13 straight

From here on it is 6 on the trot, doable

 

[torana355]

I know its due to the crap referring but we still have not beat a top 4 team. I know we could do it with even reffing.

we were easily the better team tonight but you cant win a game with that bias against you.

We can beat them easily in an even refed game like the GF where the refs put their whistles away

I agree 100% but it has to take a toll on the players, its clear this game meant alot to them.

 

[mickqld]

Why is this the same in every top 4 game we've played. We have to stop this penalty momentum against us in these games or we will go out the back door in the finals.

 

[the mauler]

They has all the calls and all the luck tonight. Confident if we play them again and get a fair shake we can knock them off. Reynolds composure won Souths the game.

It won't be against souffs, it will be against the chooks.

 

[Shoe1]

I was surprised at perenara's lack of feel for the game, his lack of intuition. He got a lot wrong, and he's an ex player. He doesn't seen very sure of his decisions either.

 

[voicefromthehill]

Stop blaming the refs.....

Mate I am filthy - do you deny the Matai try? Do you deny the questionable releasing penalties for the bunnies? C'mon if Peranara calls try it is game over - I would hasten to say there will be mirror images of that try called try this year.

You are full of sh*t

Lol, you bring Dazza with ya soon ?

 

[panash]

refs are seriously a joke !!!!

in the first half we didnt appreciate possession as much as we should of...

im pissed off that we lost , but on that performance im not worried..

penalty count helped them the whole game , then that arsey try by inglis..

one arsey kick changed the game

better team lost

lets wait for semis

 

[mozgrame]

Souths will be in the grand final this year. The refs will see to it.

The young Souths centre that tabckled Matai was shaking his head and threw the ball to the ground ffs. He gave it away. Shocking decision

Yeah, I meant on the other side of the draw, proper semi final, one week out from the GF. I think we'll get them

 

[Captain Moondog]

Stop blaming the refs.....

I see what you mean. A fish rots from the head first, it rots from the top...

 

[the mauler]

And the Inglis penalty. The fix was definitely on tonight. And on report??? Pleeeaase...

 

[Technical Coach]

Stop blaming the refs.....

You're delusional if you think the refs didn't influence the result.

In most close games refs influence the result in some capacity, the point being don't allow yourself to be placed in a position too often where refs can have an influence.

We did not put them away pure and simple. The amount of effort in our tackles to slow the play the ball would show in the last 20mins if we get into a grinding game.

I will say I have never been confident when Manly plays Night Footy under a slippery surface----a day game we would have won tonight.
