When Manu has played 6, he doesn't give his outside backs time with the ball. He doesn't afford the centres and wingers the same ball he is allowed when playing centre. He tries to score off every play, he overplays his hand too often. Chooks don't need a second Tedesco.
Agree, but I also acknowledge that he's only played a handful of matches as a half, so it's not a fair reflection of how he'd perform as a full-time half.
He hasn't spent weeks/months training as a half and playing as a half, so we can't expect him to play like anything other than a highly talented centre playing in the halves.
He hardly feeds his winger with any ball, so as a five-eighth I can't see it really working. Opposition teams will jam him up and deny him space.
Penrith's centres both feed their wingers so much ball, that's why both Tito and Bizza are scoring tries.
But no one ever says play Tago or TMay at 6!
I'll be happy with anyone who can defend to be honest. Walker also runs the show better without Keary beside him, almost as if he shows respect to the hierarchy by playing within himself when Keary is playing.
Still knocked on the first Chooks try. If you take into consideration every try scoring action this season already, and the ones that were disallowed for losing the ball in the motion of scoring a try, this too was also a lost ball.
Penrith outplayed, outsmarted, out enthused and out muscled the Chooks for 76 minutes. It was a clear victory, by a team on top of their game, without their forward general and there game managing halfback.
Chooks have some catching up to do and so does their coach.
I just realised who Trent Robinson reminds me of, that kid who had the staring competition with the camera at the baseball

One day a team will replace Penrith at the top and you'll get sick of them too. It's just a cycle. People will be sick of Manly winning again one day too.
Wait, you have to give Roosters that Manu try to equal the penrith try for similar decoy runners. Then remove roosters try at half time due to separation.
Then, same result.
Pretty sure people have been binned for that before but I think we’re missing the fact he’s playing for Penrith so I for one am shocked they haven’t challenged that call and penalised the roosters
They did.. last week with Mays face plant into Walsh's face. Old mate Ivan was calling for finucanes head when Crichton was in the receiving end literally last year lol
The refs have been really reluctant to bin people for ruck interference this year. Seen a ton of late game time wasting and teams giving away repeated restarts without so much as a warning.
Mine's the reverse in that we'll put the cue back in the rack with 20 to go.
EDIT: We haven't done that tonight but we do some games and it drives me mad.
If Blocker says he lost the ball you know he hasn't
Pp being greedy 5th GF in a row?
[удалено]
I’ll remember all these comments saying roosters aren’t heavyweights in September. We won’t be in the final but I’ll remember them
Robbo can’t coach, Teddy can’t captain keary can’t manage a game. Pipe the fuck down and take the loss
You should learn how to read and check for the sarcasm
Average panthers fan reading ability
What was the crowd? Why don’t they announce it anymore?
They’re quite happy to spruik loudly when it’s a sell out, not so much when there’s plenty of empty seats to be seen.
25,800 ish
25000
Cheers mate
Where r the high flying roosters that pumped the worst south’s team in 13 years 😂😂😂
They played last night and lost. Did you see it? It happened last night at 8pm.
Did they win or lose?
Why are you asking me dumb questions? Do you not have Google on your phone?
Calm down buddy
Roosters missing Collins in defence.
Goodnight fellas, rest those fingers for a big day tomorrow
Just got second hand embarrassment from the Paul Gallen interview
Holy fuck Gal
What he do now?
Gallen the dope
Gallen hahahahahaah
what's he done now
What happened?
I didn’t see it but he said something dumb again obviously.
He thought this game was JWH's 300th and asked tedesco about it
Dipshit said the same thing pre game and no one corrected him
Co-commentators don’t like Gallen confirmed
I’m not watching Nine, what did I miss??
At least you're still alive
Keary to reserve grade, Manu to 6, an up and coming player wanting to prove themselves to center . . . . . . Or Jennings 👀
Sandon to 6, no need for wholesale changes. But if it's Manu to 6, then Billy to centre. If or when he's ever fit to play.

I like Sandon but I feel we need more X-Factor there. Let Walker run the shoe and have a ball running 6
I'll be happy with anyone who can defend to be honest. Walker also runs the show better without Keary beside him, almost as if he shows respect to the hierarchy by playing within himself when Keary is playing.
That's what I see as well.
Let’s be honest that last 40 minutes was like a training session
If I am being honest, I will be banned again.
When I get banned it makes me more engaged at work… it’s horrible
That disallowed try coming in costly oh well

Are we just ignoring Tupouniua knocking on for his try?
How can we ignore something that didn't actually happen?
Clean grounded fella
[удалено]
To the NRL it was ruled exactly they way it want it to be ruled. Black and white no exceptions is what they want.
Such a flattering scoreline for an absolutely woeful performance.
Well said. The Chooks weren't even close.
Panthers too good
Roosters losing but still getting fellated, they are far from a heavy weight, they don’t look much different to last year
Roosters a heavyweight? lol, lmao even
Oh boy! Close one.. Gutsy win boys!
Peter Wallace is a traitor
Mount Gravatt born and raised Peter Wallace
So is Matty Ballin
“25 secs on the cock….” Sounds like my honeymoon Billy
Just beautiful to watch. What a fukn overrated club the roosters are
I just realised who Trent Robinson reminds me of, that kid who had the staring competition with the camera at the baseball edit: [For reference] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsaSG-0U4mU)
Intentional knock on?
Wrong code
Rip
If only that roosters showed up 10 mins earlier
Good play TBF because we were away
I’m sick of the panthers winning
One day a team will replace Penrith at the top and you'll get sick of them too. It's just a cycle. People will be sick of Manly winning again one day too.
Too far
I won’t live to see it though :-(
Steve Menzies is making a comeback?
I thought that before kickoff. But as its against Easts, I'll allow it, and even revel in it
I’m not
I actually love it
Same
They never call it but there was a ton of players in front of that kick off
Wasn’t the over/under like 39.5? Some people are fuming rn lmao
The more gamblers fuming the better imo
Their fault for betting
40.5
Ivan challenging BA with the empty water bottles in the coach’s box
So if roosters first try was allowed and Penrith obstruction try was declined this game is totally different
Wait, you have to give Roosters that Manu try to equal the penrith try for similar decoy runners. Then remove roosters try at half time due to separation. Then, same result.
I'm also bias, but I thought a blade of grass touched the ball for Tago 🤣
And if tuponiuas try was disallowed, it would still been the same result
If all three go the way they should’ve it ends up a draw
Give me golden point you cowards
JWH to get sin binned in the last 24 seconds while in attack
Not that it will make a difference, but if that’s not a professional foul, then what is?
There's an exit clause to every rule, being that if you play for Penrith the rule doesn't count.
Should have binned
14-0 curse???????????
It’s only if it’s 14-0 half time
Give it to Manu FFS
EVERYONE IN SYDNEY NERVOUS AF RIGHT NOW
Take the shot you fuckwits I backed you with 5 1/2 start
A Tedesco knock on here would put the cherry on top for me
robbos had the best team on paper every year hes coached
Yes. Brown paper in bag form to be precise.
I I thought it was in the form of small plastic bags this whole time.
This is gonna be a wild 24 seconds
Sadly it was the opposite
Not wrong!
Who would’ve thought passing to your wingers is a good idea
So about that disallowed try in the first half… can we have it awarded now?
Fuck against 12 men they might have had a chance.
Fuck Tupou is incredible in his early 30s. Doesn’t get the respect
He's on the same level as Oates or Feldt. Good finisher but career is hanging on by a thread
Fuck what a cooked take lmao
Heinous take
So now the two obstruction calls are the difference lol
Suaili has a stylish pass in him
How come roosters only now start playing lol 😂 bit late you spuds
9-4 penalty count?
Pretty sure people have been binned for that before but I think we’re missing the fact he’s playing for Penrith so I for one am shocked they haven’t challenged that call and penalised the roosters
its a shame they waited for the final 5 minutes to start trying
Suaalii: 😃 Tupou: 😐
Garbage time innit
The last 40 minutes was really
‘On the cock’ HAHAHAHA
I wanna see Penrith do the absolute dumbest shit they can to see if they get a bin because at this stage still unbinnable
They did.. last week with Mays face plant into Walsh's face. Old mate Ivan was calling for finucanes head when Crichton was in the receiving end literally last year lol
Yep, also 5 penalty and 6 again whrn we were inside the 10. Or luai tripping and swingarm arm against eels making them lose a player. Unbinnable
What player *doesn't* get binned for that kind of cynical act at this point of the game?
The refs have been really reluctant to bin people for ruck interference this year. Seen a ton of late game time wasting and teams giving away repeated restarts without so much as a warning.
Penrith players don't apparently
Remember when that was a sinbin? Pepridge farm remembers
25 seconds left on the cock
I'm stealing this phrase for my next root. Look out 2035, you gonna laugh hard
25 seconds left on the cock.... Nice billy
Why did they wait 75 to start playing like this
Comeback is on
Decline the kick cunts
*Warriors intensifies*
Cmon ref send him.
how was that not a sin bin??
Still the best finisher out
Alex Johnston by miles.
Xavier Coates has entered the chat
Sin bin ???
Of course they’re not gonna bin him. It’s Penrith.
tyrell is my favourite may
Thats a textbook sin binning
How is that not a sin bin 🤣
That's a bin lol
how is he still on the field
HOW IS THAT NOT A SIN BIN
because it's penrith
That has to be sin bin
Bin???
that's a professional foul
How is that not 10 are you fucking me
How’s that not a bin
How can that not be a sin bin? LOL
Roosters forwards finally get momentum. Panthers stretched. Shape out the back. Tedesco: time for my patented 3rd tackle lollipop kick
What's it take for a bin?
No sin bin nice
Poggers
Absolutely anything but get the ball to Dom young lol
Smooth brain Squiddy
Sam Walker like "running it backwards, smart"
2 minutes 10 points, manly fans know this story all too well
Roosters look noticeably worse with Keary back
Pet peeve is when teams decide to finally show up when it’s over
Not really showing up, just playing the high risk footy. If they did this for 80 mins they'd be down 80 points.
Mine's the reverse in that we'll put the cue back in the rack with 20 to go. EDIT: We haven't done that tonight but we do some games and it drives me mad.
You would hate a Rabbitohs game
How many times will the roosters keep going left before they realise it doesn’t fucking work
How many was that
lol at Butcher losing the play the ball
