2021 R4 Thu - Manly 6-46 Penrith @ Lottoland

[Max_Cady]

Translation:. “the Manly”

hahahaha

Trust me...I thought about writing:
Die Manly die just to avoid someone like you doing the Simpsons thing.
Still...

 

[Tommy Smith]

Such a thrillingly even competition this year!

I can't wait for Souffs v Dogs tomorrow. The suspense is killing me.

A real coin flip game just like tonight.

 

[pantherz9103]

It's a weird feeling for me to be going into these kind of games just wondering how much we'll win by. Not how I grew up as a Panthers fan.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Manly aren’t even bald, these motherf**kers been scalped.

Just a standard Pamfers soft draw imo

Well you get to play us twice inside the first 2 months of the competition, can’t think of anything softer except for Saab’s defence.

 

[no name]

Meh, Sean Rudder and the Knight Ryder have a premiership. Anything is possible.

Hate to be a stickler, but I don’t think the Knight Ryder won a comp.

 

[wittyfan]

I'm enjoying the closeness of the competition this year.

 

[KennySterling]

Blocker "I reckon that's the sign of a player too"

Thanks for that mate

4 rounds in & listening to him 2/3 times per weekend, is anyone else ROACHed out yet in 2021 ?

 

[Vee]

We're going for the least wins, the biggest points differential, the most conceded, least scored, everything.

Cowboys will fight you all the way.

Don’t forget to pop in tonight too when brisbane are trashing the joint up!

 

[Reflector]

The adversity is real for Donkeys fans...

This clip needs to be remade with Nollsy singing in Suncorp and wearing a Broncos jersey

Only to be disappointed when we don't hit 50.

 

[ACTPanthers]

I have a really bad feeling about this game... I honestly think it'll be close, or we'll lose.

No real reason as to why, may just be the pessimist in me.

Panthers fans may understand my position?

Panthers by 2 (hesitantly)

Never been happier to be so wrong

 

[This Year?]

At moments during that game I actually felt sad for Manly, mainly because I know what it's like supporting a team that has no hope of competing, let alone winning.
I'm sure I will get that same old feeling when my team comes up against the top 4 teams too.
Manly were renowned for being tough when their backs are against the wall. Since the days of Trent that legacy has been watered down. If I can't hate Manly it just doesn't feel like Rugba Leeg.

Best get used to these types of floggings. I said it before the game that any discrepancy in skill between teams is exemplified by the rules.

3-4 years ago the NRL was commended for the amount of close games compared to AFL, that seems to have reversed with new rules both have introduced.

I'm not necessarily saying this game would have been close 3 years ago but one has to wonder what damage to the competition is being done when 3 games in one week feature $7.50 outsiders.

damage to the competition?? haha

there is nothing all wrong with the quality sides beating up the shit ones. The bigger the scorelines the more pressure is put on those teams to replace their inept coaches/management.

I would be first to sign a petition for blocker to donate his brain tomorrow for CTE research

Damage to the comp may be a stretch.

Still, sport organisations are hope merchants and at the moment we have 4 teams (dogs, cows, manly, brisbane) whom, even the most hardcore fan would have to admit, have no legitimate prospect of getting anywhere near the finals. That is 25% of the comp that after 3 rounds have been all but ruled out of making a post season in which 50% of the clubs qualify.

I'm not saying those 4 teams would make it under the old rules but I reckon they would be in the running far longer than they are this year.

their problems are all self imposed, it has nothing to do with the rules. Only the most delusional of fans would have picked any of those sides to make the 8 at the start of the season any way.
