Match Discussion: Round 12 vs Manly @ McDonald Jones Stadium

[PhilGould]

Manly gifted that half to us and we're only up 2. Better hope possession doesn't even out and/or they keep giving away penalties

 

[perverse]

The sin-binning edict is articially evening contests. No way should we be in front.

To be fair, Manly absolutely should have been down to 12 men under any interpretation of the rules for that shot from Funa. Yet that was the one they got away with.

Mmm I think it has clearly helped but we are right in this game, we are winning position and possession even when 13v13.

Heck, if they reffed better those metrics would be even further in our favor.

I reckon that one was a sin-bin before the edict though.

 

[Knight Tales]

Watson and Clifford next week please.

 

[perverse]

In fact, I'd go as far to say that Funa probably should have been sent off. That was one of the worst cheap and intentional high shots I've seen in a while. It was bad, and obvious.

 

[slotmachine]

He's been super solid this year, it makes me wonder why we haven't offered him a contract but we did to Mann..

Mann is managed by Isaac Moses and Watson is managed by pongas dad.


This is better than I was expecting, wet won't get beat by 50

I'm dreading the second half

Daresay if Toa was KO'd or stayed down it very well would have been a send off.

I thought it was a ten in the bin for sure, bordering send off. Funa has something against To'a, trying to kill our poor young lad with two sickening shots.

To be fair, Manly have not been dominant over us. We kept Turbo quiet and our middles been killing them. If Fitzy gets a touch after he knocks on, they would only be on 4 points.

Again, don't want to be too negative, but, is Hoy the Reegan Tanner of full backs?

Getting sick of seeing this Moses' name.

What's Ponga's dad dealing? Sign my boys best friend or we're leaving after next year?

Just putting it out there, is our defence actually doing quite well? We are clearly nullifying Turbo today. Is Seibold making a difference?

Miles better than the past month or so. They're having a dig out there, lack of skill in the backs really letting us down.

Shannon McDonnell 2.0

I think that's harsh on McDonnell, he had some toe.

He's more the McDonnell you get from wish.com

Actually think we've looked better in D since Barnett has gone off. Fitzgibbon has had some lame attempts. He always puts his hands on hips after his second run of the game, I can't stand his body language it's so negative.

Brodie Jones needs to start a game, he runs hard and generally looks like he wants to be out there and fight to win every play.

Our best 40 mins this year.

Totally agree, there's nothing that Fitz does better than Jones. Nothing.

The club has said they want to keep him. Had to wait for Connor’s contract to be up with his manager before they negotiate.

Connor doesn’t need that kind of leverage. The only place he seems to be under appreciated is here…

He’s not going anywhere.
