2023 R5 Sat - Manly 32-32* Newcastle @ Mudgee

[t-ba]

Hoping the local Mudgee police arrest and prosecute Morgan Harper and Cooper John's for impersonating NRL players

Cooper Johns, Morgan Harper, Broken Tippy Toes on one edge.

Ouch.

Knights halves look pretty good early in the season and Miller offers something in attack. I don't think they have the class to trouble any top teams though

Ain't looking bright, mind you i think we all knew our backline depth was crud..

 

[eagles4eva]

We play the smugs next week, they hopefully end all our blind hope with a 50 point flogging

I will desperately take a season where we aren't in the 4 worst teams in the comp but it's still early days even for that haha.

If the game ends in a draw it means we're all losers.

 

[Someguy]

Neither team could defend their goal line all game. The field goal strategy played into the ineptitude of both teams defence. Fair result draw neither team deserved it

I can be a bit of a Ponga basher but since he has been out they have been playing better as a team. Ease him back in as an impact bench player and the knights will be competitive with most teams

That game was a crime against the footy gods and they should all be forced to walk home naked with the ghost of Dally Messenger ringing a bell screaming “SHAME….SHAME” every few seconds…

 

[KOMORI]

Yeah holy f**k that was bad. It’ll probably be glossed over after the golden point thing, but Atkins should be sacked for that.

He was searching for reasons to disallow it, nobody even noticed the bobble and nobody would have complained if it was awarded. He never even let go of the ball at any stage.

Normally I’d laugh at the Knights getting shafted, but that was so bad I can’t even enjoy it.

Absolutely awful decision, and should have been awarded: but I think that actually fired the Knights back up and gave them the impetus to stay in the game….

 

[Mr. Shaman]

It’s 730 and I’m already 6 pints deep, I ain’t getting up at 5am for this shit.

Heads hurts, guts stink. Check score, yep, glad I missed this.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Embarrassing that we can’t beat Newcastle after 90mins. Technically it’s a draw but it feels like a loss

Imagine how Matty feels.

 

[mave]

No matter how hard we try, Manly just cannot lose in Mudgee.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Da fuq happened here? Did both teams defences get lost somewhere in Wollemi?

 

[Grapple]

Matty Johns was probably the only winner today.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Matty Johns was probably the only winner today.

maintains his spot as #2 player in the Johns clan

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

Brandon Smith approves.

Is this how the Roosters sign everyone and stay under the cap?

What happens on the 8th hole stays on the 8th hole

 

[Reflector]

Sneak preview of Tigers v Dragons?

 

[Apey]

How'd Tommy Trbo pick up 5 Dally M points from this game?
