Manly won't win the comp *spoilerS*

[BWNB]

On the back of that attacking effort, like the sharks they won't. Truly pathetic :LOL: what was the penalty count? 15/5 in favor of Manly. Discuss

 

[Frederick]

Yeah, with a title like that, I don't think you need to include the word 'spoilers'

 

[Raider_69]

Gower probably put his hand up for origin duties more so then Orford
but the pressure is now on Kimmorley big time, direct match up against the QLD halfback, a solid performance there should see him named

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Manly will win the comp.

Yes the pressure is on Kimmorley but it won't matter he won't get selected he is sh!t and i hope he doesn't get selected for origin. This game is his most important in his career in the long run. If he plays well he could be up for SOO and then a contract...

King and Kite might as well have not turned up tonight. Stewart and Watmough were the only forwards standing up.
Im not going to get to beat up over it thought, you always see teams play pretty flat after a massive game.

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

i dont think manly were too bad today to be honest, you cant really judge them on a weeks peformance, having said that the panthers played very well i thought, and have been very unpredictable so far this season.

 

[Garts]

Panthers played much better, probably should have put more on us apart from the penalies against them. Manly will bounce back!!!

Agreed, most teams have to lose and maybe this was Manly's due loss just like last weeks loss to the roosters was Cronullas' overdue loss.

 

[Clock watcher]

Tonight was a wake up call for the eagles, htey are not unbeatable by any means, at times tonight they may have htought they were. hateto see them get beat like that, but will be a good thing for thier attitude later in the year.
Penrith however could build on a defensive effort like that!!!!!

 

[Mary]

Meh, they had one off game.

I thought defense was their biggest weakness tonight personally.

 

[Munky]

Has any team spread the ball as well as Penrith vs them this season?

With so many non-ball players at 5/8th in teams they could play a compressed line. Gower and Wallace actually strung two passes together and Manly had no answer.

to think the sharks embarrased the pantehrs who smashed manly

Overdue? It was three wins.

 

[Garts]

to think the sharks embarrased the pantehrs who smashed manly

and what a 6 point smashing it was.

 

[pantherz9103]

I'm just happy we won so I don't mind people calling it a smashing. It was over the comp leaders.

You should be happy, your guys played well and deserved the win. Not surprised with the outcome at all. Just glad we almost came back as we played pretty ordinary, Clarke did help us though.

orford = choker

I'm a big fan of Orford - halfway through the game tonight I thought he had the Blues number 7 jumper sealed - but he did kind of blow it towards the end with a couple of silly mistakes and some dumb options.

Still, I don't think his kicking game should be overlooked for origin, that is something NSW seriously lacked in game 1.
