FINALS WEEK THREE - Manly vs Nth Qld @ SFS

[Bazal]

Great try to Lillyman, 6-4 KTC

 

[CowMan]

Thank God For That!

 

[Bazal]

Cashmere definately took him out, there is no second guesses about it, did you see his shoulder into watmough, watmough wasnt even attempting to make a tackle and him.

Watmough turned to meet Cashmere as he came through....he made a bad read, and then the decoy runner took him out. Exactly the same as the other one. Both were wrong...but there's not much anyone can do

 

[CowMan]

6 6 half time

 

[Shorty]

Manly has very very good defence!
Half time - 6-6 geez!

Anyone got word on Michael,I really hope they don't send him on the field in the second half.
He is a huge loss to the team but they're doing fine without him and It'd be a bit dangerous if he is infact concussed.

 

[God-King Dean]

That try is gonna f*ck with Manly mentally. It's been all the Manly forwards, dominating em the whole half... & it's still drawn. I don't think we've seen half of what Payne, Thurston & Bowen are capable of yet.

Manly unlucky to lose Monas early, the Cowboys can find them lucky, The 2nd Manly Obstruction definately should have been a try, not even worth a benefit of the doubt call, there was no doubt.

 

[Bazal]

The Cowboys will be stoked after being pretty comprehensively dominated for the half. Manly might feel a little insecure on the other side of the fence

 

[Eelectrica]

Manly looking stronger in both attack and defence. Hard to believe scores are level.
Manly have to be a little worried that some of their blown opportunites are going to come back and haunt them.

I still think Manly will win but they really should have had a decent lead at this stage. Cowboys can still pluck tries from nothing.

I also believe the video ref has got all obstructions call correct thus far.

 

[Glenn]

Manly ought to see it to H/T without fuss

What were you saying? :lol:

 

[LESStar58]

6-all!

Try on the stroke of halftime! Game on!

I want the Cows to get up but think Manly will anyway. This has the potential to be a classic finals match!

 

[Apey]

Weird first half...

Cowboys attack has been lacking even though Manly are defending well... Thurston seems to be trying the same play over and over again, oh well, at least it worked eventually lol.

Manly unlucky not to be ahead.

 

[God-King Dean]

Manly has very very good defence!

That'd be the last thing I'd think to say. Cowboys have had 3 goes tops in Manlys red zone & they have the same points, while Manly have spent many sets inside Cowboys 20

Anyone got word on Michael,I really hope they don't send him on the field in the second half.
He is a huge loss to the team but they're doing fine without him and It'd be a bit dangerous if he is infact concussed.

Judging by what I've seen of him, I feel the Manly doctors would really be letting him down. Definitely risking furthur serious injury.

 

[parra-matters]

I can smell a Cowboys win here, manly have had all the ball but only one try to show, cowboys get down the sea eagles end and score.
Thurston and Bowen have saved themsleves for the 2nd half.

 

[God-King Dean]

BTW

I'd hate to see Stewarts no try being used as an excuse if Cowboys win. Manly have had every chance to be ahead.

 

[Bazal]

If Monas is back at all tonight the Manly medical staff should be sacked...He is not healthy and brain injuries (even minor ones like concussions) are not something to mess with

 

[eels_fan_01]

Cowboys by 6.

 

[CowMan]

i can smell a cracker 40 minuts

 

[God-King Dean]

Thurston and Bowen have saved themsleves for the 2nd half.

From the start of the game I've got the vibe that the Cowboys forwards are playing with something to prove. If they could win the arm wrestle in the forwards Thurston, & Payne would rip em apart.

 

[Shorty]

Manly unlucky to lose Monas early, the Cowboys can find them lucky, The 2nd Manly Obstruction definately should have been a try, not even worth a benefit of the doubt call, there was no doubt.

Can you shut up?
Seriously as Bazal said,the disallowed try for Cows was exactly the same.

The ref can't rule trys on who he thinks were going for the defender as opposed to getting run into.

God-King,if they let him go on I will be very p*ssed off as it will be the third time the doctors have put players health at risk.
