parra vs manly rnd 3

[Chipmunk]

Only because you know we're quitters.

We're hooking in. Playing tough. We don't have the combinations to reliably convert chances against Manly's defence, but if we don't give up we should keep it respectable.

Big "If" Pou

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Hayne might be gone for the game

Norman to fullback, Paulo to left half.

 

[yosemite]

What type of injury did Hayne sustain ?

 

[The Colonel]

What type of injury did Hayne sustain ?

They were strapping his ankle over his boot.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Try try try to eels

Hayne still out there

 

[The Colonel]

It's the same as last week, we score straight after half time and we battle on and go close to a win. If they score, they'll open the flood gates and we are stuffed.

 

[Bigfella]

First two consecutive completed sets for at least half an hour led to a penalty then a try

 

[Chipmunk]

Good to see us finally make the most of an opportunity

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Paulo missed attempt - worse I have seen for a while didn't even get near

 

[Bigfella]

Straight in!

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Semi runs 30 m to score a beautiful try - freak he is

 

[Chipmunk]

Nice try to Semi, back-to-back tries has us back in it.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

10 to 8 - we officially have goal kicking problems. Paulo misses from about 5 meters to the left

 

[bartman]

We have to do something about our first choice kicker being a bench player. It will be a long season if we don't eventually have a quality kicker somewhere in the starting 13.

 

[Bigfella]

Your first choice kicker can't miss those

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Seriously ref gives manly a penalty for nothing.

 

[Chipmunk]

Paulo missed attempt - worse I have seen for a while didn't even get near

You could probably make the same comment about his second attempt.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Another penalty to manly - refs hate us.

 

[bartman]

It's a positive we were able to score first after half time - more of a positive than last week. And no matter which way the result goes hopefully we'll battle on and play out/compete for the 80mins this week.

 

[Noise]

Good two tries. Paulo can't kick goals now he gave away back to back penalties
