We wanted resilience- we got it

[Ron E. Gibbs]

If you're marking on pure ticker alone, Waddell was absolutely magnificent for us today. The guy could barely walk, let alone run, and he was out there taking hits and tackling himself to a standstill. Effort like that is contagious.

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

Fantastic win, but I'm worried it will be a pyrrhic victory. Our forward pack will be VERY skinny next week, I don't want Olakau'atu to miss out on an Origin call up but if he does I'll be very grateful to have him in the side.

Winner for your use of pyrrhic. Nicely done

Hey guys …. All the positive supporters are back!

Welcome back guys! We’re have you been all week?

I’ll just head over to the ‘sack Seibold’ thread and see if there are any positive supporters over there!

I have truly missed you guys this week …

Just sayin’

 

[Dion Johnson]

Down to no reserves by half time
Guts
Guts
Heart
Determination
Brown - sign him for 200 years - led from the front today best I seen since Ben Kennedy
Brooks magic
DCE domination
Simpkin- great game - we finally have a dummy half

I think the resilience has been there since the Donkeys beat us by one at Suncorp.

Panthers was a to much of an ask at home after they got beat, there was a bit to like in that game also, they didn’t spread it to the edges as crisply as they did at 4 pines.

Big one next week with a depleted squad, Brooks to lead and hopefully gets the points over Cody Walker.

Seibold has had Manly playing Better footy regardless of any one's thoughts
But today had them UP for the game
I mean we were shot with no reserves, yet found a way to win well
Seibold has to have won respect based on this factor

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Yes
Gutsy and got some fire in the belly need to build on that win and go on a run , Too much this season one good win followed by ordinary performances
Seibold always talking depth we have some and Bully showed today when he got a chance and took it
Simpkin took his chance today

Seibold took a chance with young Hoppa could have easily put Garrick to fullback and used talau and paulo or Veaga and left Hoppa out but took a chance and it’s paid off with talk of shifting one of the best fullbacks in the nrl out of his position

Agree, but id add.

A couple of years back our players would have been gassed and just started walking and letting blokes run past.

At half time knowing there's no real replacements it's just you blokes on the field.

And yet those out there ran the dragons ragged in that 2nd half. Our boys are fit.

Bullemor was looking like a hindmarsh today

 

[mickqld]

It's the first time in several years where I can say I'm so proud of the team and that gutsy effort that those 14 players put in today.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Great to see a nice thread for a change , well done @maxta

Best game he's played since he's been with us. This could be a real turning point for Bully going forward.

While this would be up there, he has had a few good games. I am somewhat perplexed that he doesn't get more game time. I love his energy and he is always making the defense work hard with his leg speed and change of angles.

 

[Scorpio]

We've had some very good performances this year but 5 of our 7 wins were at Brookvale in front of a sellout crowd.

I think our main challenge now is to produce these kinds of performances everywhere, not just when we have a large partisan crowd willing the team home.

For sheer impact best game by far, Bully was more damaging and revelled in the heavy exchanges. More of this needed next Sat night.

 

[MW66]

Dont understand how Bully had fallen down the pecking order.

Always contributes

100%. Has speed and footwork at the line. Another point of difference. Showed today when given a decent run what he can add. Should be in front of Waddell and probably Sipley (although shout out to Waddell for putting the team first and playing injured).

I don't recall him flopping in as 3rd man with his ass hanging out.

No, but from behind, with that shape and hair
