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

[manly al]

Is that Atkins the Faecalmatta winger of yesteryear, or Brett Atkins (the next ‘Pogo’ Morgan), who left the club early to try his luck elsewhere?

That would be the former Eels winger Grame , . Bret Aitkens could certainly stride out , can 't recall him doing all that much after leaving Manly

 

[manly al]

Think that both Croker and Jake played the full 80 last night , well done to both with the extra workload required in the ruck area . .Walker had big minutes too .

What’s the connection ?

Dad was winger for parra

Why his father ?

Scarred by 1976 GF, I think he may have been in the 82 or 83 side though

My only concern with last night’s game is that it feels as though it might have taken a send off for the side to finally show the sort of grit and determination required of them in all games. I wonder how the match would have played out if we had a full compliment of players...would they have rolled Souths? Because it didn’t look like happening in the first 10 minutes.

Life member of Eels, that's a heavy burden for anyone to carry.

From an eel family, so having conscious or unconscious bias against other teams would be natural, particularly manly.

I would love to ref a souths, eels or Melbourne game.

Post game (sorry if posted) - Jake yelling at team-mates.... Probably for giving away too many 6 agains!

Forward pass my arrsse!!!

Atkins certainly didn't help us last night.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Defense, or defence?

Or D fence

Totally agree. The adverse suffering will build what it takes far more than loud dressing room speeches at half time or full time.

When are the NRL going to get the techo thing we've been waiting on to judge on forward passes, we needed it on Friday night. That try would of put us only 2 behind, and with momentum.

Depends on your nationality

Former Parramatta player

Faecalmatta winger

 

[HoldenV8]

I have to admit that I am torn with Jason Saab. I think he and Koula together on our right flank could form an absolutely lethal combination with their speed, if they can get quality ball in space. No one, and I mean no one ... not Addo-Carr or Coates, would catch either one IMO.

But in the past couple of weeks Saab has been caught out defensively which is obviously trying the patience of a lot of fans (maybe Des too, who knows??).

I still think all it would take would be for Saab to grab a couple of 90 metre intercepts or catch a couple of try scoring passes from DCE or Turbo, and he'd be back in everyone's good books (its amazing how fickle we all can be with players sometimes).

You can see the resemblance:

I didn’t realise (or had forgotten) his dad had played over 200 games for the Squeels and the Red, White and Blue Sea Pedestrians and was still playing up into 1987.

The old ‘Bumberland’ Oval in the last shot, from c.1977. What a crap hole. The people who have complained about Brookvale in recent years clearly never experienced the ‘delights’ of Cumberland, or Lidcombe, et al.

One of the commentators stated the other night that the Suck Sh-tney Vermin crowd were making a lot of noise at Gosford.

That’s because many of their supporters have few if any teeth left, which would otherwise act as an ‘acoustic gatekeeper’ to the noise emanating from their collective voiceboxes.

Or D fence

I take Off fence at that remark.

In almost the next set of six Cook did a short but forward pass which was not called. In the next 2 play the balls they scored.

Frustrating
