Rd21: Manly v Parra GAME DAY THREAD @ 4 Pines Park 5/8/22

[JokerEel]

I can't believe the idiot ref called Sivos last try forward... The touchie was ok with the pass from Lane.

 

[the phantom menace]

NRL physio on social media continually points out there is no evidence that says head knocks prevent concussions happening

Fair enough - I was wondering why headgear hadn't caught on as expected over the past few decades.age

Especially if it's compulsory at young ages.

 

[Happy MEel]

Let moses go if it comes to a choice .... drown showed he can step up when needed

Plus we will be able to just call him Brown once Nrown goes

I guess, but we still need a better kicking game at 7 than Jake (and he had a great second half tonight).

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I reckon he's right.

 

[Jake the snake]

Great win, happy for Jake Arthur he was very average in the first half but came good in the second half. Just happy that they win without Moses. Our defence though I just don’t understand how we let in some very soft tries

 

[84 Baby]

Hopefully the rainbow jersey players will start to tear apart the rainbow jersey boycotters who cost them two points, and their season will end in tatters.

Having said that, they were well on top of us between the 20min mark and when Paulo got back on and set up Arthur's pass to Blake.

On that Olakauatu was non-existent tonight and dragged in second half before we got on top

 

[JokerEel]

Im still not convinced Tooheyspluto grounded the ball for his try. They had one quick look and gave it .... but our tries got a fine f**king tooth comb put over em

I think he got it down with the first attempt then he was held up.

 

[hineyrulz]

Dylan Brown needs to be re-signed ASAP. He’s our most important player going forward.

Well done Jakey, played strong done good.

Another Big Jackism.

 

[eel01s]

Need to keep Moses and Brown if we want to win a comp.

Good win tonight, I was worried about our right edge defence and boy did Manly attack it with a lot of success.

We need to slide instead of Penisini and Blake standing still looking at decoys runners.

I was yelling at Blake for most of the first half but boy what a put down for his try!

Especially after last night, any line ball forward pass is gonna look dumb

And in the first game tonight forward pass just like last night wasn't called.. Drongo tonight though..

 

[crocodile]

Yeah but he disappeared up the tunnel .... i reckon we will need a new 13 for a few weeks

There's always Nathan Brown.

 

[84 Baby]

We need to slide instead of Penisini and Blake standing still looking at decoys runners.

Huh? We were sliding? We were consistently giving them 20-30m each set doing it

 

[Gronk]

LOL@Manly

and whilst we’re at it

LOL@Dragons how could you overlook Saab in reggies ?

 

[84 Baby]

Only 2 starters didn’t run over 100m for us

 

[strider]

I guess, but we still need a better kicking game at 7 than Jake (and he had a great second half tonight).

Im not convinced he is the answer, but he is 19, he could improve

I’m sure the bunker looks at it multiple times.

 

[strider]

There's always Nathan Brown.

For some reason there isnt ... hopefully common sense prevails .... though i must say Nrown looks fat as i the training picks.

 

[Happy MEel]

He could, but I just can’t see him getting the speed needed to be a starting half. Perhaps a ball playing edge or middle if he can fill out, or most likely a bench utility.
