Post-Game Discussion Storm V Manly [Round 20, 2025]

[HK_Eagle]

Nah don’t wanna embarrass you mate!

I’m relieved. Thanks for your foresight and understanding 😅👍

I’ve developed an intense dislike for Trent Loiero. Jake’s not a fan either haha

I've hated that entire cheating soulless bunch of ****s since they were born from News Ltd's arse, super league filth.

Great to see Bellyache having fits. Dunno how the guys heart hasn't exploded over time. Maybe he hasn't actually got one. It's a bilge pump from an old Halverson that used to ply Coal & Candle Creek.

 

[Dingo]

Absolutely buzzing. Proudest I’ve been of the team all year, faith in the team has been restored a little after that one. Defence was great.

Gotta try and keep the attack going in the 2nd though. Whenever we tried to attack a bit we looked quite good and got into space on the edges. Almost let them steal it because we got comfortable with 16 and eventually got pretty gassed.

Brooks was fantastic, thought Burbo was solid, SST was unreal, DCE looking like he cares a bit more now, Tolu is a gun, Lehi had some massive defensive plays, Bully always bringing energy.

Garrick too. Clearly had problems with his shoulder but stuck in the game and was all effort. That chase on the Coates try. While he couldn’t save it in the end, the effort to get over from the other end of the field was unreal. Then the catch near the end with Katoa contesting.

This team has so much talent clearly, always been my issue. Get them up for games weekly and we will be a threat. Just never able to do that.

Anyway, great win, let’s do everyone a favour next week. Can’t stand the Dogs fans

Exactly what your wife told me 🤭

I was wondering where she was, though she usually makes herself scarce when manly are playing.

TBH, I have buyer’s remorse. 👍

Careful mate. Fun’s fun, but there are lines.

I could sense an upset, I backed us on the tipping comp and it paid off!! I didn't say "are you sure there's not going to be an upset?" "I feel like there is an upset" about 10 times in our convo this arvo in the car for no reason @wombatgc

We always win the games we shouldn't and lose the ones we should win!!

Also we practically won that with Simpkin on the field for a very short time and no talau, essentially only 2 players on the bench??

I thought they were going to get us during the last 20 as we looked absolutely gassed, especially poor jazz... and I was worried about usage of the bench but we did it.

Hoppa that tackle on Coates out on the sideline, HELL YEAH.

Saab still looked like a baby giraffe out there half the time though, needs to use his talents and strengths more often.

A big FU to nelson, should have got at least 10. Dirty dog.

Sucked in trent, that last pass was karma for being a prick, shouldn't even got the penalty earlier on because look at Jakey and look at Trent, who's the aggressor?? I was screaming "PUNCH HIM JAKEY" and would have let him off the hook if he put one on his chin as Jakey doesn't get fired up for no reason.

in dan ginnane style
GOODDDBYEEEEEEE

Just absolutely sweet as to upend that filth on their old boys day too. They are filthy about it too. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It would be stinging them that it was Manly that did it to them.

Just watched Bellyache in his presser , oh yeah they are dirty all right

 

[Medowie Eagle]

That's the thing, according to the NRL.com Play by Play, he wasn't placed on report. The only Storm player placed on report was Harry Grant for his contact with Brooks' leg.

Thanks Jethro I didn't realise.
What a ridiculous decision. He should get cited by the MRC for blatant foul play that caused a concussion.

 

[Sheikheagle]

This is what I want to know too. If we couldn’t activate the 18th man tonight, when the hell can we? NRL must have changed their rules again because losing a player to foul play used to be the trigger.

I felt the same however i have been told the grub had to go to the sin bin to activate the 18th man.

Cronk just said he is in a bit of trouble for that
Also Johnson saying he played for the penalty when his leg was hit just like brooks penalty justified

Which is ridiculous Simpkin doesn’t come back and Solomon stays on needs an investigation

At least he was honest about it. It is the rule.

Gutsy performance, great win but why wasn't TT2 used?
He is able to play lock or second row (as well as most backline positions) so I'm surprised he wasn't given a run to give Waddle and Jurbo a rest. I'm a big TT2 fan and reckon he is underutilised.
I guess Boldy knows more than me because his use of the bench proved effective.

 

[Eagle 1]

#%@.. Yeah
What a win by the boys tonight,
and against the purple slime.

We did win the game, yeah?
