Rd8 2024: Eels v Manly GAME DAY THREAD @ 4 Pines Park April 26

[Joshuatheeel]

Mate their middles ran for twice as many meters as ours. If we take our blue and gold glasses off, they have a point. Not saying that idiot Sivo didn’t have a massive negative impact on the result, but RCG said he would die for Brad and ran for 60 odd metres

#bullshit

Our middles ran for 436 m and unbelievably manly’s ran for….436 m (happy to be corrected)..,

Overall the forward metres were 682 manly to 663!

Jake Trbojević disagrees.

Jake might be Balkan but has anyone ever called you 'nice'?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

And that sort of good enough, excuse making is the reason why the club hasn’t won a title since 1986.
they had the most possession because we lost the middle.

Never said it was good effort! My posts have said a lot more……

 

[Joshuatheeel]

and their running meters look spectacular

Na….

 

[King-Gutho94]

What's up with Tom Trbojevic anyway he pissed off the sheds at fulltime.

Was the only manly player that wouldn't walk around the ground thanking there fans at FT.

He never seems happy when scoring a try and always up-tight looking like he has a stick up his arse.

He is not normal.

Since our last premiership 13 out of 16 clubs (not including the Dolphins) have won it at some stage. Does that mean we’ve been bottom 3 in terms of available resources since that time?

Some of them have been lucky while we have been unlucky. We are 0 from 3 in grand finals where might have expected to win 1 or 2 (1.5) of them. We are 3 from 8 in preliminary finals in that time. The average win rate is obviously 50%. At that level you should expect to win about half your games. If not you are either unlucky or overachieved to get there. Did Smith (1 from 6) overachieve to make those prelims/grand finals? Did Hagan (0 from 1)? Daniel Anderson (1 from 2)? Brad Arthur's (1 from 2)?

You know that you can now ask your rhetorical "pseudo-intellectual" (lol) questions to AI... and it will type you an essay back?

Might be a better option than trying to troll these parts... are you going to take up Avenger's $1,000 offer?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If either of those reasons are really why you're here, then I think you will be disappointed on both counts.

I just wish the good posters would come back. Remember them?

I'm still here

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Their forwards made 682 m compared to our 663 m (happy to be corrected)….hardly an indication our forwards lost the “battle” or “middle”…more like possession won the game…

They got every call, as the home side should. We'll get them next time. In the finals.

 

[hineyrulz]

Year? Lucky to last a minute I reckon

 

[Avenger]

Jake might be Balkan but has anyone ever called you 'nice'?

You know what they say about nice guys.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

That’s exactly what is happening and why you can’t compare Manly beating a Penrith team with no Cleary to what happened tonight. The circumstances for each game were completely different.

But the result was the same.

 

[Pazza]

Na….

so possession doesn't correlate to run metres?

 

[Soto]

2 really poor decisions tonight
Video not calling trbojevic offside yet sin binning penisini....why the f**k was the kick chase not checked...
AND Why was Sanders going into score after Sivo scooped the ball not allowed to play on then check it??? These both cost us big time...fkn horrible by geriatric sutton and Klown...both should be dropped just for those 2 clangers....I bet we hear shit all from Annesley and co on these two incidences

That second incident was forward to Sanders anyway mate.

 

[King-Gutho94]

f**k it would have been tough to be there amongst those f**king bogans

There wankers but what do you do.

At the end of the day the feeling is mutual we both hate each other.

Embrace the hate in the game as much as you embrace love.

Rugby League is better for it

Plus f**k Manly have the biggest Bogan fanbase
