Post-Game Discussion Souths v Manly [Round 8, 2022]

[Budgie]

**** I hate that “ Glory Glory “ song

The whole bloody acdc (etc) music at every stoppage - unless We scored then it was ballads. Worst music in the NRL. And I HATE music in the breaks.

 

[Budgie]

Very proud of those boys tonight.

 

[Nordburg]

Not sure what Bullemor has done to Des,but he only played 15 minutes tonight and in that time,he showed more than what Taupau has shown all season

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Of all the dud calls by the referee tonight, my least favourite had to have been the "strip, six more to Souths" late in the game when the Bunny was crunched by Koula and Cherry and simply lost the ball. No stripping intention or motion at any stage.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Well i thought it was a pretty good performance considering they pretty much played the whole game with a man down. Anyone who thinks differently is being unrealistic.

Some soft defence from saab running backwards, and Taupau had some shockers leading to points. Some tries right at the death and just before halftime due to fatigue blows the score but still positives seeing Shuster back, tippy toes his best game, Koula looked good again and with a few players coming back will be back winning again no doubt

Boy I dislike the gameday thread closing straight after the game.

You are mid conversation with someone then bang, its cut off

we were splitting hairs between errors and discipline. Conceding penalties and giving away set restarts are errors the team made. And manly makes the most unfortunately.

Yeah why can’t you be invited to move to the other thread but leave it open , or given a ‘last call gentlemen’ warning

 

[JBW]

Admirable effort. As with last week when Davey cant grab that grubber, if Schu's pass hits Christian T he scores and we are within one try again. Anyway, another case of the what ifs....

Lawton had to go, that was bad.

Got some troops back next week but the Tigers wont be a walk over.

And even though our major sponsor is pointsbet we still have to listen to Shaque Oniel singing the sh1t, p1sses ne off no end

And a shocking forward pass call

 

[Fibro Eagle]

The send off can be justified it did look bad , it was a tackle that went wrong in the end , Any other weekend it’s not a send off , All the talk about what’s a send off and what’s not this week I believe contributed to that send off

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Not sure what Bullemor has done to Des,but he only played 15 minutes tonight and in that time,he showed more than what Taupau has shown all season

Yeah, but that's not exactly a high bar.

I like Bullemore in the middle of the field. For whatever reason, when the ball gets to him when he's on the edge the play seems to break down. So I can see him coming off the bench as a prop. Beyond that, jury is still out.

 

[Chunkytuna]

Ben is still a kid and needs to fill out and , with all due respect, grow up a little before playing again

Don’t agree. He’s got heart and size and he puts in. Yes he’s got a bit to learn but effort wins games. He’s got that in spades - just like his brothers.

And the forward pass that had Garrick in space. Ennis didn't think it was.

 

[Simonmyers11]

@bob dylan absolutely you forgive DCE for his 1 mistake while we are attacking with 12 men.

Taupau had 3 errors which all led to tries.

DCE was a true captain tonight. I’m surprised by his effort. I loved his effort. His game. The kicking. The management. The heart.

Taupau is a waste of cap space and not worth a spot in the 17.

DCE was great again tonight as was Foran. Both stood up, especially their defence.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

And the forward pass that had Garrick in space. Ennis didn't think it was.

That was my second least favourite dud call. But with so many to pick from, it's hard to rank them all…

 

[pt73]

And yet the only forward pass called all night was a backwards pass by us

He's obviously watched plenty of videos of Scam Smith

 

[Nordburg]

I think the middle of the field is his go.Tonight wasn’t the best conditions/situation for him given he was playing on an edge,but he still ran hard and tackled well.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

The big plus tonight is Koula this young player is the goods and we still haven’t seen him in open space wait till Turbo gets back and watch this kid explode

 

[Fibro Eagle]

I hope I don’t see Tapau in the side again this year but unfortunately when you pay big dollars he will most likely be in the 17 somewhere
