DOM FKN YOUNG!!!!

 

[Tom155]

What an athlete he is

 

[perverse]

So glad we lose Dom at the end of the year. That's my thought every time he does something like that and I hate it.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Can we keep Young?

 

[K-Man]

We get away with another ordinary performance. I'm not even celebrating that amazing Dom try, because we hardly even deserve it. Should have been a comfortable game but we produced an effort that wouldn't got the 2 points against any actual NRL standard team.

 

[Haffa]

These guys hurt you to the point where you barely fist pump a 100m try.

 

[aqua_duck]

f**k we need a goal kicker badly

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

We seriously don't have anyone that can kick a goal at this club

 

[Tom155]

2/6 today

Manly missing their three best and f**ked by the ref and we scrape home.

Slow clap.

Haha I read your summary and though that a much eloquent way of explaining the pain.

Did the super sub get on at all?

What a waste of a bench spot

We haven’t had for the past 5 years and we’ve never tried to rectify it

But he trained the house down in the 14 during the week…….

 

[Woody90]

Thank God we have a BYE next week so we don’t have to watch them.

That win felt like a loss.

Just happy we didn’t lose again on goal kicking because it certainly could have happened. We should have been up about 8 points without the result being in doubt at the end.

We looked so tired at times but then didn’t use barely any of our interchanges. I don’t understand AOB.

 

[perverse]

How did we manage to have a forward on the bench that only got 14 minutes when we had a backrower miss 20 minutes of the game?

Our bench usage this match was absolutely shameful. It wasn't the only shameful thing... but god...

 

[Nuke]

Yet another victory where instead of elation, the feeling of relief is the overwhelming feeling.

Stoked we won, but thank heavens that game's over.

And so Newcastle defeat Manly.
And I'm now off to watch the '97 Grand Final to get some happier vibes of another time Newcastle beat Manly.

 

[Nuke]

Just before that game starts, while "Nobody does it better" Julie Anthony belts out our national anthem, I'd like to make a suggestion to any of our fringe starters: Learn to kick goals. Get REAL good at it as quick as you can. We don't have a high percentage goalkicker, so this could be your way in to a starting jersey every week. Call it the 'Darryl Halligan' effect if you want.

Just SOMEONE please get good at kicking goals consistently.

 

[Loose Cannon]

I can only assume Miller’s error count will improve significantly as a result of not spending a week in reserve grade.

Addendum: Will reproduce in the other thread.
