Are you guys kidding!? We made 16 errors, conceded 9 penalties, 2 LBs and our completion rate was 65%. It tooks us 15 minutes in the first half to complete a set. Great win yes and tough win (which is important). Thats the point Im making. We shot ourselves in the foot all night, were down to 12 (thanks to some creative refereeing) and still won at brookie. That is why we should start believing this year

To be fair, Manly were pretty ordinary tonight with their decisions and errors.Comment

I'd give up while i was behind if i were you Roz.Originally posted by roz View Post
Most of the errors came due to the intensity & pressure in defence from both sides. It was a good all fashioned smash up & we came out on top. If you cant see or dont understand that well..........

Brutal on line defence by both teams.
Best we've played in about 10 years IMO.
The commentators said something at one stage about fine rain from memory.

Worst performance? You're kidding!! Being at the game very few chooks fans and they dug so deep, super proud of the boys!! I was a little! Intoxicated' in the Jane stand and was loud and proud! JWH best prop in the game IMO! !Comment

I find it funny how Fa'aoso can dump Inglis straight on his head twice in 1 game (risking a broken neck) and just go's on report yet JWH lands an accidental high shot (risking a sore face) and gets sent off.Comment

This would have to be the worst post of the year.......the intensity of the game contributed to many of the errors and both teams made them as it was an all out bash fest. I would rate our two losses as far worse performances and we rarely ever beat a good woManly side at Brookvale. Give yourself 10 uppercuts Roz.Originally posted by roz View Post
Its sometimes good to win ugly, it says much more about a team's premiership credentials than a flashy 40 or 50 point win.Originally posted by boogie

I agree, you can only beat the teams that turn up but, Manly have no reserve bench without King,Fiasoa and Galuvao and without Stewart they were woeful in attack, yes we won but Storm or Souths would of wiped the floor with us on that performance.Originally posted by The Axe View PostComment

Correct! Its not as if JWH hit him dangerously... it was only on his head.Originally posted by justjuice1992 View PostComment

Thats what Im saying. Given we werent completing sets, kept dropping the ball, conceding penalties and were down to 12 men, we still beat manly at manly. The first sentence of my post ends with "the time is now" (referring to start believing). Why would I say its time to start believing if I was genuinely disappointed in our efforts. Winning like that is what shows how good a team is. The stats prove we actually played crap. Thats why its called winning ugly- playing crap, getting resultOriginally posted by Parkway_Drive View Post
Ill even decode my post again: "That was our worst performance of the year AND we beat manly with 12 at brookie. If you didnt think we were the real deal already, the time is now!" "Worst performance" = penalties, completion rate, errors, bombed tries; "beating manly with 12" & "If you didnt think we were the real deal already, the time is now!" = we managed to tough it out in a dog fight with the leagues undisputed dog fight champions proving we are the real deal this year.
Im still not sure what exactly here doesnt make sense. Had we lost the game, my thread would have been nothing in comparison to the hate for the blokes that bombed the tries, dropped the ball, conceded the penalties etc. Just because we won, it doesnt sugar coat the way we played but at the same time, winning in that fashion in those circumstances is an achievement in itselfLast edited by roz; 05-14-2013, 10:27 AM.Comment

glimpses of 2012 , showed thru....
sbw lifted in the 2nd half and was missing in the first half.
skids had a shocker, but his errors were balanced out with his defence, 3 try saving tackles, a try assist and a hand ball1911 1912 1913 1923 1935 1936 1937 1940 1945 1974 1975 2002 2013 2018 2019 2020Comment
