Rd15 2021: Non Parra games (Beanie for brain cancer round)

[Eelogical]

I said it a month or so ago. Manly are a dark horse. They are the purest footy team of the lot. Penrith and Storm are superior but robotic. Manly are a footy side. A joy to watch tbh.
They still have Jake,Alioi,Schuster, Sironem to come back and I think I am missing a few also.
They do need to tidy up their defense but they are one side who would worry the top 2 imo due to the way they play,

Who did you say it to?

 

[strider]

I'd lean towards cerebral rather than desire. And maybe they're aren't as many players the same size/strength/levers/ pace as we think. But who the hell knows.

Yeah i think he is a unique athlete ... taller than most but also strong as f**k and more speed

Missing their hooker too ... or is he in gaol?

Tits are drooping ... they were very perky earlier

Crazy how often one team can have only 35% of the ball in one half and magically get 65% in the second. It would be impossible to recover from that fatigue without the ref heavily managing you back into the game.

Dragons cost me a perfect Round two weeks in row!

I still feel if you score you should kick off. Otherwise you will get what we are getting. Dominant sides just scoring then controlling the ball for the next 20 mins.

$$ fine for the Rooster, but the sin bin cost them the game.

6-12 when he went off
20-12 when he came back on

Aaand he got off. EVERYONE could see that it wasn’t his fault. It cost them the game with that momentum swing.

Will it translate to common sense with the binnings now?

No. The refs will continue to use the sin bin as they need to cover their asses and protect their jobs.

A bit like how the police still arrest people despite the courts letting them go later.

Proper scrums. The great possession leveller of Rugby League.

As someone said in the recent NRL Sunday wrap podcast, you could literally run at a props chest or shoulder with your head at the moment and get a penalty.

A Yr12 Legal Studies kid knows that there is such a thing as contributory negligence. Not on the NRL field it seems.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I like binnings. I bought some stuff there yesterday.

Gee I'm disappointed with The Tits. I rewatched that Manly game again today. Tits were awful. Their defence was worse than ours at its worst. That right edge defence was bloody horrible and their middle is as soft as.
I'm not sure Manly or Turbo were that great. Fifita is so over priced and I wouldnt touch Peachy with a 10 foot pole. I have big wraps on Holbrook but goodness they are going like busteds. He has some pretty good assistants as well.
