2019 R2 Sat - Sea Eagles 18-26 Roosters @ Lottoland

[t-ba]

I really shouldn't be happy with that result but here we are.

This talent devoid side actually put in a shift!

 

[This Year?]

Roosters relaxed more than Brian Smith after getting to 26-0. Grats Manly on turning it around in the last 20 and making the scoreline somewhat respectable.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

At least Manly got smacked.

 

[GongPanther]

A small victory for Manly to keep that loss by only 8 points as it could make the difference at years end. A big relief to Easts on that win.

Most people knew the Eagles were going to be crud in 2019...Loosing Tommy T and walkers absolute stupidly has weakened an already weak backline...just hoping they can recruit some decent backs

Fainu should also be ahead of Api quite soon by the looks of it. He made a real difference.

Absolutely, massive fan of Api, Fainu just looks quicker and sharper at D-half

 

[This Year?]

Pretty decent crowd considering the weather and the issues with the club.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Manly have the bones of a very good side.

Quality in key positions with...
Tom Turbo
DCE
Api
Fainu

And some quality in the forwards with...
Taupau
Jake T
AFB
Thompson

It just falls off a cliff not far after that. Recruit a couple of good outside backs and forwards and bring a couple of decent young players through and they'll be in amongst the top teams within a year or two. Again.

Should mean less of Hodko in first at least. Utter passenger compared to Fainu on the bench.

Stellar human being but his body is done.

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Chumpy-Evans best play was a complete fluke where he kicked directly into the opposition but regained to score.

What the hell happened? I turned it off at 26-0 and watched Uncle Buck instead.

Sounds like a good effort from Manly. They can still get f**ked though.

The owners don't seem to enjoy spending money, that is the problem.

 

[Lambretta]

Why did they punt Fergo and keep him?

We didn't punt Fergo, Parra just offered him more than we could

Roosters were down to 14 players with two injuries to an already depleted line up and Keary off with HIA for 20 minutes.

No hooker, no halves, no direction

Manly took advantage to make the scoreline less shit than it should have been

Same as we didn't punt Peachey.

 

[Artiste]

i might watch the 2011 after this game, make the Eagles great again lol

They were the best

Actually I think you will find we were down to just 13 players when Keary was off for his HIA test.
