[Grandpa Joe]

Beyond my wildest dream this result…. Minus Ponga and Brown second half just WTF?

 

[bremsstrahlung]

Those Manly fans' boos are going to sound sweet in 30 seconds...

Soak it in!

 

[Roundtable]

Wooohoo!

 

[Beatell]

Nah he’s been good I just think Sharpe is so bloody good back there it’s the only way to replace a lot of what we lose with Kalyn out.

with our injuries, we may have no choice. May have to be smith and sharpe halves next week.

 

[CornChippy]

Crossland is a soldier. Just slots into the halves, plays 80 and is reliable af.

Crossland and Smith halves, Graham/Arthur at 9.

 

[Seano]

So proud of that effort. Manly were red hot favourties and we led from the start.

Great to see a Newcastle team full of resilience and not afraid of their own shadows as they were under AOB.

And I don't miss the constant impossible crash plays.

 

[Lefty]

We showed a lot of spirit to win that one, we were not even seriously threatened in the second half.

The team proved that many of the posters on here were wrong to doubt us.

 

[Seano]

Luke Brooks probably had his worst game for Manly. Not sure what's going on there.

 

[Beatell]

Crossland and Smith halves, Graham/Arthur at 9.

I could live with that. Smith stood tall today, with those injuries in the past we were cooked, but he managed the game for us.

We showed a lot of spirit to win that one, we were not even seriously threatened in the second half.

The team proved many of the posters on here were wrong to doubt us.

Both their first half tries came from mistakes in our own end. Started the second half great completion wise, can’t blame them for getting a bit over eager with errors once they had the game sealed

 

[CornChippy]

I think Hunt at fullback, Sharpe Smith halves and Crossy at Hooker will be the best option. Gamble or Graham on the bench and someone to cover the back 5.

 

[Jon Snow]

Great win! Other than seeing our attack click again. Was super impressed by the fitness and resilience. Could really see the difference between the two teams in that regard.

 

[EASBay17]

thats the most deflated ive felt after a big win, and only our 5th ever at brookie. Lets not sugarcoat it though manly were diabolical in that 2nd half and it ended up 6-6 .. not sure where our points come from with no brown or ponga. Sharpe will help no doubt.

But 2-0 and finish the round in the top 4

 

[Matty James]

My god, I missed winning.

Me knowing I can enjoy the rest of my week:

 

[Tobe Fair]

Still not as in love with Mooney as most.

He's taken one run in our half so far, got absolutely hammered and avoided work every since.

That aged well

 

[Macca89]

M

What's wrong with Brown's leg?

MCL

 

[Sheent14]

Fox commentary: let’s get to the positives about the knights!

Ennis: cuts host off and talks about manly some more

 

[slotmachine]

That aged well

Not sure what your point is, but nothing really changed in the second half.

 

[krustykraz]

Completely different attitude from the team compared to last year.
All the adversity and they didn't give up and revert to 1 out hit ups and chip bombs.
Good work team.
Good job Holbrook.
