1st Qualifying final: Newcastle vs Manly *SPOILERS*

[Stranger]

Steve mattai has learned everything he knows from terry hill!

Full credit to manly defence... f**king excellent.

Althought newi attack not asking much...

 

[NthCronullaLocal]

Ruck is being officiated very lightly. Manly's defence has been great but they have been able to hold the knights down for an age making their job easier. With the amount of possession they have had though the knights still should have scored. Carney is having a shocker.

Manly are in the box seat now running with the wind which should offset any fatigue due to their first half defensive efforts. If they are serious about winning the comp should close it out being in the position they are.

Hampstead needs to start penalising manly for holding down in the tackles. Manlys killing the game slowing it down so much.

On tonights display I just dont know if we're good enough..

Weve havnt dominated much..

In saying that Manly should tire quicker than us, theyve made alot more tackles..

Come on Knights! Start the comeback!

 

[aussies1st]

Knights attack looks shot to pieces, that and Manly defence is top notch.

 

[Stranger]

Everything has gone the Knights way in that first half and we are up by 12.....looking good

Explain?

 

[Missa]

It's all over......manly will run away with this now....too many opportunities and Manly has been superb in defence.......Please prove me wrong Knights!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sea Eagle Scuba]

Manly can't hold the ball! Its simple, we hold the ball and we win!

 

[Big Mick]

With the amount of possession Newcastle have had...they have absolutely nothing. Who said these guys are contenders? They are deadset rusty as.

That hit Kennedy put on Johns after the Gidley hospital pass was magnificent.

Manly's scrambling defence has been outstanding.

Glad I'm not alone here.

They aint killin it from their point of view.

Looks pretty much all over already, dont it.

Long Long Way From Being Over Mate!;-)

 

[innsaneink]

WTF are they playing "Eagle Rock " at EAS stdm?

 

[mattyg]

Come on Newcastle!!!

 

[scottyeel]

Also, why are they playing "Eagle Rock" at Newcastle's home ground?

 

[dragondad]

Newcastle must utilise Buderus more through the ruck and stop attacking in the centres.

 

[Sea Eagle Scuba]

GAME BACK ON!

MANLY WARRINGAH SEA EAGLES - 12 (Stewart, Robertson Tries Orford 2/2)

Newcastle Knights - 0

 

[scottyeel]

I calculate 40 minutes to go infact.

Also, why are they playing "Eagle Rock" at Newcastle's home ground?

It is an NRL fixture.

Every club chooses a song that is played during the finals for that team even at a neutral venue.Last year the Tigers used Eye of the Tiger while Saints used Saints go Marching in.

Where's the whining about the penalty count... oh wait, it's against Manly.
