2024 FW1 Sun - Canterbury 22-24 Manly @ Accor

[THE CHAMP]

they did like 5 times

Not on nine

 

[eagles4eva]

TT looks shot, be surprised if he lasts the 2nd half

 

[JamesRustle]

Canterbury's first half line speed was faster than Fox's line speed.

 

[mozza91]

As much as Turbo and DCE keep screaming at their players it might be Brooks that opens it up through the ruck next half.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Vossy called it as it happened

I repeat not on nine

Brooksy to steer Manly home here in the second half.

Yep the finals specialist..
Oh never mind

Just to rub more salt into tiger fans open wooden spoon wound.

Yeah I agree. And at the risk of agreeing with Gus, I think it’s high time that we stopped doing a forensic examination of every single contest for the ball. It’s almost impossible to take a contested catch without a slight bobble, if it’s stayed in the vicinity of the hands, play on.

This is my fundamental issue with video reviews.

They will only do a forensic analysis if it's on a try scoring play.

But an error on play 1 is as important as an error on play 5.

There would be 50 'bobble' errors a game if we analysed everything.

 

[Bazal]

Yep the finals specialist..
Oh never mind

I mean he could be, how would anyone know?

 

[macnaz]

I don’t even think Crichton thought he got it.
Appalling penalty in the lead up.

Its 2024 , it was a hard tackle , we have to get that shit out of the game

Unfamiliar territory for him, i mean finals wise and also steering sides home.

Yes we need to leave some stuff for on field decision making.

The guys at Fox and 9 need to be on board too. They are a CSI team at times and get instructed to make a big deal out of every coin flip decision.

 

[Desert Qlder]

DCE drop out was a game changing moment.

 

[typicalfan]

The guy that can change the game for Manly is Paseka. Looks like Haas plays like Keppie.

 

[skeepe]

Burton needs 7 attempts to land a field goal when taking them from 20-30 years out; why do they think he is just going to casually knock one over from 45?

20-30 years? I know he’s got a good boot on him, but I doubt he can put them in orbit.

The finest of wines...

 

[chrisD]

It’s basically just been all the players they’ve scabbed off Penrith, their identity really is just Penrith 2.

 

[Grapple]

Unfamiliar territory for him, i mean finals wise and also steering sides home.

Exactly. Nobody will expect it, hence it's the perfect crime. Little Brooksy running through tired forwards in a finals miracle.


Anyway, go Dogs!

I like the way American sports tend to have an ex-referee on the call to explain controversial decisions. And then, once it’s explained, whether it was right or wrong they just move on.

 

[Maximus]

No knock at all. Few too many on the beers here on LU.

Forward pass though. And a penalty should have been awarded for Aloiai blocking Burton. But whatever we have a contest.

Burton ran directly into the back of Olakau'atu whether Aloiai was there or not.

And the worst call of the game was the bullshit penalty for the tackle on Tracey.
