broncos vs manly

might be the sort of a match up to get the Manley machine interested early. However I haven't been impressed with Manley so far,maybe age has crept up on a few and Lyon has been making some basic errors. Broncos are missing Wallace and that should be key today, I can't see a blowout but Manley are coming off their best performance and could be ready to step up a notch and get after Melbourne.Got a feeling Ballin will have a big game. Habitually they are slow starters and I can't see Hodges on the team sheet. Evens Manley is the play for me not sure it will be there if Hodges out.NRL has Gillett and Reed paired up in the centres.

have played Draw/Manley and Draw/Brissy as a saver around 18s and 19s

0-8 try,conv and pen for Lyon. Watmough started on fire and Manley strong in the hit ups in attack and defence.

4-8  poor conv att by Parker 21mins

8-8 ktc poor defence

12-8 ktc, if Manley can't slow play the ball the fat boys are off the pace.

Manley not had the ball for about 12 mins,penalties ,tries and repeat sets,fat boys are tiring.

12-12 ktc 38mins

off touchline and curled in 12-14 39 mins

ONly tuned in with about 10 to go to HT but I take it that was a decent half of RL?

went quickly,Manley really struggled without the ball,got tired and some lazy high shot penalties to increase pressure. Brissy look a bit too quick when on a roll,against that Manley punching holes through Broncos,don't start sucking eggs Stu but keep draw on side could be 28-28. Still Brissy haven't found a reliable kicker and it must hurt year in year out.

16-14 kick missed again

Manley so many weapons when attacking,Watmough looks immense

16-20 55mins

20-20 ktc by sticks (Sean Long would convert)

22-20 65mins

Brett Stewart just dropped it cold at play ball in front of sticks,could be so costly

last 5 mins

manley got no tactical kicker tonight,perhaps that counters Corey Parker 5 v 3 on tries so Brissy don't deserve a loss. Brett Stewart drops it cold again as Manley crank it up.That should be it 77 mins,might get a set of 6 from deep.

might yet get a draw though nothing on it today

what a finish that was

that was some play and what a score in corner 22-20 ktc, Lyon stood up tonight along with Watmough,Rose and Matai.Brisbane don't deserve that. Time up before kick attempt.

get the clock on the screen ffs - oh there goes the hooter - just wondered if there would be time to kick off

very good game

sorry 20-24

missed convs the story for Brissy then

ffs heads gone west,almost frothing here!

agreed,top class means you have to have a kicker to convert pressure and keep the board ticking over.

damn had a bit of draw/bulldogs in this game and kick for level missed on stroke of HT

3 stupid penalties all resulted in tries, 2 for backchat.Same old woof woofs
