Tonight's game/commentary

[Matty_C]

All week these same idiots have been telling us how brilliantly Manly played last week.

We were at our worst in the second half last week and they only just beat us. Come on, they were lucky to win despite:-

42 min sheck throws the ball away 4th tackle within 15m
49 min 4th tackle play down Shecks wing: turnover
50 min Pearce kicks the ball out on full from our 45m
52 min BStewart scores 18-12
56min JWH tackled on 6th tackle 7m out
58 min 3rd tackle 10m out sweeping right Maloney passes to mother in row 10. (Horrendous)
60 min 5m out sweeping to the right Sheck passes to Mini on wing 2m behind him Manly get ball run 50m.
64min Toops kicks the ball ahead on 4th tackle straight to BStewart
65.5min 35m out Jake kicks the ball over the dead ball line on the 3rd tackle.
67 Great try FPN to Pearce
68 Jimmy misses a kick which you would expect him to kick
70min Cordiner loses ball 3rd tackle not securing the ball in the tackle (DOWN 2 WITH TEN TO GO)
75min Pearce moving to the right throws a cut out pass to (DOWN 2, 5 TO GO, ON HALF WAY)

Is Jamie Bruhrer gay cause he looked like he was trying to slip one into the player ever tackle, did it all night AND the prick never got pulled up for it.

I counted at least 10 incidents that had the player been wearing a Rooster jersey it would have been a penalty.

Manly are not more disciplined than us they are just allowed more leeway by the refs, it's that simple.

Chook.

The referees are intimidated after all the sooking from Toovey and Jamie, they are by far the grubbiest team in the comp yet can get away with it.

Once again last night they drew some inside the 10 penalties deep in their own half by baulking as they play the ball, it's ****ing disgraceful and these ****ing merkings in pink reward the poor sportsmanship so they'll keep doing it.

Glad to see and hear many of you point out the following:

- rabs' "penalty tactics" comment (rabs, go eff yourself you senile fool)
- how womanly lift when they play the Roosters (tipped the 'dogs and yes, felt odd wanting them to win)
- if womanly had played last week like they did last night, possibly different result last week
- the whole issue of penalties (Chook's comment above in particular)

Well done all, at least some on this forum are awake.

I can't stand channel 9 commentators. They all have their own agendas.
Even Freddy is fricken useless.

Didn't notice this watching the game, however a patron at work last night (not a roosters supporter) brought it to my attention.

An older mate of mine reckons Trent dosent want us firing on all cylinders yet (just his opinion)

it would make sense to have some kind of ambush for the finals seeing we are targeted weekly.

I just hope its like what stase says, they put away the whistle come semis and this awesome team gets let off the leash.

Absolutely. Gayruher was playing like Ennis usually plays laying all over the tackled player, and getting off slowly, to slow the play the ball.
I think he fancys Bulldogs as he was laying on them doggie style. .

Sharks ran all over the Broncos last week...slick passing, short passing to put forwards over thru the centres, and deft kicks.

They'll run all over us too tonite...unless we start playing properly.

Would someone please tell our wingers they're supposed to be guarding the sidelines

Your spiel should have begun....

With Todd Carney blah, blah, blah......

unfortunately the bubbler wont help them tonight!

[bondi-boy]

Yes, that's what I saw...the Roosters, having had a large lead at half-time, get run over by the Sharks in the second half the same as the Broncos were run over by the Sharks last week.
