NRL Match Thread 2016 Round 16

[Graham]

Sorry Irish Saint but Coote is having a poor game riddled with errors!

[Vichyssoise]

Coote's 2nd half is really average. Another mistake.

[Graham]

Manly in again. looks like a try.

Bunker Boy

Yes surely.

30-26

[Graham]

Jamie Lyon missed the conversion

[Graham]

That try was by Brown

[Vichyssoise]

Origin play from Walker.

[Farmduck]

Well I sure didn't expect that.

[Vichyssoise]

And another loss for Manly. I gotta admit, they made a contest of it, but they have too many passengers.

[Graham]

Full time

Cowboys 30 - 26 Manly

Cowboys made to struggle.

Manly nearly took them.

Cowboys put under pressure.

They played well in patches, but gave Sea Eagles encouragement.

[Graham]

Origin play from Walker.

 

Sure was.... not... :-D

It's their squad management that's always been their problem. They've always spent too much on a small group of stars and they don't have enough cash left for quality squad fillers. When they get injuries, instead of bringing on the B-list they're bringing on the D-list. Plus the fact they have no juniors so there's no cheap supply of players coming through.

[Vichyssoise]

Stewart is woefully out of form.

He should be closer to retirement than SL... He'll probably sign that rumoured contract with Catalans soon.

[Graham]

Stewart isn't even a shadow of his former self.

If CP13 is retiring then Stewart should retire - backdated!

they've been really unlucky with injuries this year. I don't rate Barrett as a coach, but those injuries have made his job a lot harder.

That being said, a Manly loss is always something to celebrate.

[Farmduck]

Yes I never complain when the Horsies and Manly both lose on the same weekend. If only the Tigers had caught the Storm.

There you go I linked your Horsies mention to your wish about the Storm game

I'll get my coat...
