Official Wentworthville Magpies Thread II

[I bleed blue & gold]

Ex Eel goes in.

 

[hineyrulz]

Soft try, Farah in the corner.

 

[Forty20]

First try of the day goes to Manly as they score from the scrum.

Bizarre pass there from Chishom and he telegraphs the second man ball to Gutherson out the back but opts for a harbour bridge cut out to Farrar who cuts back against the sliding defence and scores out wide.

Conversion is good.

Manly lead Wenty 6-0

20m gone.

 

[EelsFan05]

The Wenty wingers use the same defensive formations as the NRL team. Works just as bad.

 

[Forty20]

Edwards on for Mau, hmmm Edwards usually plays down the left. Interesting.

Great run from that man though! Right up the guts with a good 20m.

From that play Ma'afu is able to drag out a penalty with his run.

Wenty find touch on the Manly 30m line.

 

[hineyrulz]

Can someone tell me how POH was getting a gig ahead of Kenny Edwards????

 

[Forty20]

Poor pass from Waters...ends up getting intercepted by a defender.

Another squandered set.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Jacob Gagan playing centre for Manly.

As far as I could tell there's only two ex-Eels in Manly's reserve team, showing the Cleal era is well and truly over.

Just noticed Troy Savage, so there's three.

2nd tier cap issue....

How good does Edwards run? Wish he got a chance earlier this season!

Back to the game, Manly play out a solid but conservative set as they opt to roll the ball into touch 10m out from the Wenty line.

 

[Forty20]

Pressure relieving penalty for Wenty as the ref pings Manly for infringing on the 10m.

Wenty will resume play from near halfway.

25m gone.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Ken Edwards, Solo Lasalo and Dom Reardon are all drafted on to the bench to cover the earlier changes.

I thought it was Taniela Lasalo (or Daniel, for Gronk).

 

[hineyrulz]

2nd tier cap issue....

So Kenny wasn't in the top 25 and soft as butter milk POH is???? I thought he should have got a gig earlier in the year.

 

[Forty20]

Another mistake from Wenty as their play is well read by the Manly defence on this occassion.

They force the error with a big jam on the sweeper.

Basically yes...

 

[Forty20]

And now a penalty against Wenty, Manly with fantastic field position here.

 

[hineyrulz]

Wenty look just as dumb as the top side.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Is Sandow there supporting his teammates?

Pretty sure he's contracted to the Eels, not Wenty.

 

[Forty20]

Manly are really setting up their sets for the major attacking play against our left-edge.

This time we hold them out but they roll the ball ingoal and Waters can't fight his way out so there is another drop out.

Off the restart, they attack down our right-edge on this occasion with Gutherson who kicks through but it just rolls dead.

Wenty 20m restart.

 

[Forty20]

Okay so Ryan has shifted to the right to accommodate Edwards on the left.

And speaking of Ryan, there is another error from Wenty as he loses the ball!

Frustrating stuff to watch.
