Ivan not happy with last night


Speaking to reporters in the post-match press conference, Cleary joked the stop-start nature of the second half was to blame for the pitch invasions towards the end of the game.

“The second half was a bit of a shambles,” Cleary said.

“It started well but then the game was so stop-start, it was dragging on forever that second half.

“They gave 20 penalties tonight. It was so long, it takes so long to get anything done, Bunker decisions and whatever.
“No wonder people started running on the field, they must have sold a few beers tonight I reckon.”
Cleary continued: “Rugby league’s a free-flowing game. That’s what we all want, that’s what every team wants, that’s what every fan wants. We’re trying to find that.
“I don’t see discipline being that bad.
“There’s lots of things. Bunker decisions seem to take forever.
“I haven’t got the answer — well, I have, but I’m not going to say it.”

Is it spoken about how poor Barrett is as a coach? He's not at Paul Langmack levels but in Langmack's defense, he didn't stink it up at three clubs like Baz has.

See he's likely going to the Broncs now, not sure how that solves things!!

It’s unbelievable how little it is spoken of, considering he has the close to the worst winning percentage of any coach in the NRL era

Seibold says Tom won’t play next week but will definitely play finals

Manly have really got to start putting Tom on ice in the second half of game as soon as a win is in the bag, on top of having glass hammies the guy just has rotten luck with injuries as last night shows. Its such a shame as he's one of the good guys of the sport as well as being such a dominant force when he's fit.

He seems to go ok as an assistant, but people keep giving him a lead role

He's a white Stephen Kearney without a Bellyache

“I haven’t got the answer — well, I have, but I’m not going to say it.”

I presume this is 'get rid of the Bunker'?

Hope the doors on the sheds are attached better than the old stadium was, Flanagan will be about to blow a gasket cooking the Dragons at HT, awful effort

 

[Big Marn]

Not even Barrett can f**k it up from 30-6 ahead

 

[JJ]

Flanagan might murder someone

 

[JJ]

Not even Barrett can f**k it up from 30-6 ahead

Gave it a run

“We will make the finals” - good chat Kevvie

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Imagine being behind the Drags on the table. f**k me, the defense in that game was next level shit, with their season on the line. The Lane try, in particular.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Not even Barrett can f**k it up from 30-6 ahead

Close!

Haha Jesus, I left home with about 20 to go and Parra flogging them, couldn’t believe what I just looked up. Highest losing score in NRL history

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Last game of the regular season is Dolphins v Knights, if Knights win tomorrow that is a straight shootout for 8th spot, couldn’t be scripted any better

Even if the Raiders win both their differential
Is crap

 

[JJ]

Stunning and brave from the mighty Broncos

Can already hear the drums beating this week about if the Sharks are a better side without Hynes

Can already hear the drums beating this week about if the Sharks are a better side without Hynes.

Who is he anyway? Johnson's played 14 seasons, including three for his club, but he could barely give him a smile after the game.

I know losing's tough, but you know.

 

[Blair]

Haha Jesus, I left home with about 20 to go and Parra flogging them, couldn’t believe what I just looked up. Highest losing score in NRL history

44-40, Parra. You'd hate to be a fan of either club after that.

 

[Blair]

Stunning and brave from the mighty Broncos.

I've just seen the result, 40-6, Dolphins. What a great night it's been.
