'12 | 1st SF | Fri | Sea Eagles 22-12 Cowboys | Allianz

[blacklock]

the good news for the cowboys is that both tries against them came on the back of silly penalties. so if they cut the crap out they can clamp down on manlys options. also thurstons kicking game is good. that last set ending was poor tho (as he got tackled on the second last and couldnt kick).

im still worried about bowen under the high ball. fingers crossed they come back hehe

 

[afinalsin666]

So far I'm not worried about either.

 

[The Eagle]

Glad I'm not the only that thinks he's vastly overrated.

Run of the mill 5/8th that's been talked up as if he's the next Fittler/Daley.

Lolwut? Next big nosed dope?

 

[Meth]

Trying to decide whether to bother with the second half.

 

[Grapple]

Haha, how obvious is it.

I hate to sound like a whiny old man but the whole commentary package is getting bloody unbearable at times. Like how Rabs casually drops in Big Brother to the commentary while someone is making a hit up.

To me it became abundantly clear last week when, despite a video montage dedicated to how great he is in the pre-game, not a single commentator tout it necessary to mention his name as someone manly could turn to in the final 15 mins when the game was in the balance. Placed it all on DCE and G Stewart's shoulders.

Absurdly zero pressure on him to do anything, and a lifetime supply of being called a "tough little hombre" by the media for no apparent reason.

Personally I blame Mithcell Pearce, as he makes Foran look like a Demi-god whenever the 2 play against each other

Lol yeah deride Foran at your own risk, Pearce should play for Newtown

 

[Bored_out_west1]

how many different angles can the cameramen show the same small group of manly supporters

Cringe city.

Although he was incredibly subtle with the way he gave Allianz their quid pro quo at the kick-off...

 

[Hutty1986]

Any word on the crowd?

That's right. He mentioned someone getting evicted tonight. It's a wonder channel 9 don't have a phone poll to SAVE Manly phone ..... or SAVE Cowboys ....etc to make some extra money.

 

[The Eagle]

Shit call

 

[Grapple]

Any word on the crowd?

It's there somewhere.

 

[some11]

f**k channel 9 are amateurs, high pitched feedback every few seconds.

 

[Didgi]

:lol: Not bad Gash

 

[Spanner in the works]

Any word on the crowd?

Yeah, non-existent.

 

[some11]

Boo yah

 

[Meth]

Great try

 

[Walt Flanigan]
