What a brave and gutsy effort!

[Andrew..]

How nerve racking was that last 5 minutes ? I was pacing around in front of the TV like an expectant father in a waiting room.

Vince Lombardi nailed it.........

Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

Tonight's performance has to become a habit.

 

[Snake]

I'm still in shock!

 

[TokyoEagle]

You could see the change in attitude from the first set, can we follow it up again next week? I bloody well hope so!

 

[TokyoEagle]

I always think that if a team is playing with determination, you can see it in their kick chase. Was great to see the team up there quickly, and in numbers, that's the Manly I know and love.

As our backline come back to full strength it would be great to have Mateo's offloads and those guys collecting them. Leary doesn't offer that - more steady in defence.

Yeah I'd prefer Mateo if he has recovered.

Mateo in Foran out . You could clearly see Foran doesn't want to be there .Cherry looked happy and keen and what a game from our boy , if he leaves he will still be a manly boy in the heart that's for sure . Ride us home champion . It's the best feeling to follow this great club. I feel like I won bloody lotto after that . Oh yeahhhhhhh .

There is absoutely no reason why we can't build on that and put in a decent performance next week against the Knights.

Wrong. There is one reason. Next week is the rep footy round. Manly play Newcastle the week after.

Nice looking stats (bar a couple)

 

[manlyfan76]

So Foran did play^

I think the boys would probably have preferred to play next week to keep our roll on.

 

[hozza]

So happy we won!!!
Can someone give me a rundown of the game? I completely missed all of it and haven't seen highlights(big night).

Thanks for that manlyfan76! Looks like they were really playing for each other.
Outstanding , so bloody happy....

I think we've lost perspective a bit due to our poor showing so far this year. I wouldn't call tonight either gutsy or courageous. It was what we should be delivering week in, week out. It's amazing what a bit of commitment in defence does and a bit of good energetic running from the forwards. I'll save those sort of platitudes for a game where we really dig deep. We were far from great tonight , so I guess the other positive on top of the win is that there should still be some improvement to be had.

Spot on mate.
It's a step in the right direction though.

37 Metres, you call that playing?

Yeah he obviously doesn't want to be there. Once we get a few more troops back i say we oblige and send him to reggies.

I did see him make one good tackle, apparently there were six others as well.

It's called a " non event"

Jake T numbers are fantastic! Any prop that makes over 150m a game is doing a great job. Going to be a absolute gun for us!!

 

[Beer buzzard]

Needs one of the others to chip in as well. Soggy looks ready to step up so mason and burgess can take a back step (closer to the door).
