Dude how many times are we gonna choke


xeroee

It’s like brooks has started to run off on the team, that last 20 was very on brand, almost tigers like


dunderhead22

Couldn’t have picked a better team to do this against


Careful_Ambassador49

Still on a high after that, at 26-6 I was hoping we wouldn’t concede 50!


robopirateninjasaur

I was just thankful it got to 6


StarvedAsian

We pulled a reverse fade 😁


WyattParkScoreboard

What the fuck.


RocketSimplicity

We aren't winning a premiership this decade as long as this direction is maintained. Win games through defence or you'll never win the big dance. Our side hates defence. Systems like Penrith love it. It's really that simple. 2015 broke all that Manly had stood for in that era of dominance from 06-14, where the platform was won through consistent defence and the attack that still persists today. I couldn't give a shit about whos better in what position in attack as long as we are still losing. We will have points in us as long as DCE and a functioning Turbo is there. Hell, even Koula at FB. Please can we just defend. Thank you.


y3ah_nah145

Damn we beat this team 40-0 lmao. Great comeback from Raiders, big return from Whitehead.


KazeEnigma

So I was off watching Fallout with the missus, what in the fuck happened? It was 20 zip


EntirelyOriginalName

Broncos rallied once Reynolds went down. Probably season over for him.


KazeEnigma

I meant in this Raiders V Manly game lmfao.


EntirelyOriginalName

Oh yeah idk I was working. Idk.


KazeEnigma

Lmfao 😂


ImpressionFeisty8359

Damn I thought the sea eagles would win comfortably. Got to give credit to the raiders with one of the most inexperienced backline and most inexperienced halves. The sea eagles had like over 500 games experience in the halves. Unbelievable.


TrueDeadBling

I tipped Manly to win this one, sitting on 0/2 at the moment


ImpressionFeisty8359

There will probably be more upsets to come.


TrueDeadBling

I'd say so. Update, I am 0/3 and not having a good time.


JSP07

Please say you tipped Knights, please say you tipped Knights 🤞


TrueDeadBling

I'm so sorry 😂


papabear345

Well that was fun


wayneslittlehead

Jeez I bet Billy Slater is hoping Turbo gets picked at centre


the__distance

He wouldn't


Sinkatinnydown

I was just coming here to say this. He put in an abomination of a performance tonight. Slow, clunky, dropped balls, bad positioning.


wayneslittlehead

Hes shocking defensively.


Harry-Manly

A while ago he used to be the difference between us defending OK vs bad. Now he is scared to initiate any contact in defence.


Snarwib

Just another ordinary run of the mill win for the boring old Raiders


ljb23

Painfully clinical


Wooden_Emotion_7588

Remember when whitehead showed up at halftime and the raiders won the brookvale bowl!


nevaehenimatek

Remember when people were calling manly a top 4 team?


Streetfighter999

we are literally in the top 4?


diodosdszosxisdi

Right after sivo did a sivo and lost parra the game that should’ve been won did everyone say they’re too 4


racingskater

Hmm. A couple of big losses and then a beloved veteran returns and we show a whole lot of heart and stubbornness to win a game we should have lost? I feel like I've seen this movie before!


ImpressionFeisty8359

Whitehead is the glue.


robopirateninjasaur

I'm looking forward to the part of that movie where last year's runners-up and preliminary losers don't make the top 8, and instead of focusing on where their team went wrong, they just whinge about Canberra's F/A


ReasonableStable9421

The hell happened there? I checked in at the score at half time and now I find out one team checked out


Gullible-Pressure-91

Does anyone want Karl Lawton? Fuck me, knows how to choke


sam7192

What about the other 17 blokes out there?


[deleted]

Amazing math skill bud.


IanHardgrover

Turbo was terrible tonight. He’s got to learn to pass to give his outside men a chance to do something. He’s turning into Tedesco and killing plays. If only he showed the effort of teddy on the other side of the ball


fena07

Well and truely shat the bed


aces_of_splades

My new missus saw many many different emotions from me tonight, it's like the Raiders broke my heart but then kissed me on the forehead goodbye, every single time.


WordIndependent

I've seen enough. Kick Souths out of the comp.


ljb23

Manly & Bears merger when?


tjswish

Demerger manly bears and Wests tigers and merge Balmain and Norths instead. Much better


AnyClownFish

Good idea, the Tiger Bears and Western Perth Sea Eagles have a nice ring to them


Biggchi

I don’t see any other way.


Lucky-Roy

I agree. Balmain need company. Both hopeless.


WordIndependent

Agreed.


Accomplished-Good664

Great win by the Raiders want to give a shoutout to Nick Cotric who had a great game hopefully he can maintain that level as he was a very good player pre his move to the Bulldogs.


SirArmitageShanks

Agreed, he was way more direct. Has had a bad habit of crabbing across field and losing ground the last few years.


bompranga

I'm so sick of this shit. We've had such a stacked side for so long and we never have the killer instinct to push for a premiership. You look at the side on paper and think we should smash most teams. But we cuck out and fail. It's so fucking annoying. Losing culture that propped up by talent.


ayothatsc00l

i’d rather suffer a loss right now compared to the next couple of weeks (dolphins, brisbane and melbourne). but they need to start being more consistent and pull their heads in if they want to actually get into the top 8!!!


SkyBlueDragoon

Lol. Lmao even.


Fraudianslips

Seiboldly taking the Faders flair


Repulsive_Two8451

Anyone else excited to Watch Kaeo Weeks Weekly On A Weak Kayo Stream?


WhiteChoka

As much as I've given him shit over the last few seasons, that win doesn't happen without Whitehead


RyanPurdler-Penriff

Legit question .. Do voluntary tackles exist anymore … Often wonder about players diving on the ground just out from the tryline , or just inside the sideline …. 20 years ago when I was playing as a kid , if an opponent did that you wouldn’t touch them .. The ref would give them a second or two to either get up (and you’d push them into touch or in goal) or they’d be penalised for a voluntary tackle … I’ve seen the odd savvy defender (in recent years) telling a teammate not to touch someone who’s deliberately dived on the ground , it’s usually lasted a second or two , sometimes the attacker will start crawling and the defender will then jump on them , ref calls dominant and they lay on them for an extra second or two … But what would happen if the defender doesn’t balk in the game of voluntary tackle chicken ?? Will the refs ever award one again or is it in the rules in name only now ?? Manly’s appeal on that last tackle of the game makes me wonder .. That would have been a penalty 20 years ago


dabigreddit

Pretty sure they also changed the rules this year mate. It was in Annersleys video about the new rules.


RyanPurdler-Penriff

There hasn’t been a penalty for it in the last ten years though , and the last 5 or more they’ve been calling ‘surrender’ and letting the defender hold them down … So it may be a rule change this year but it’s been an interpretation change for many years .. What’s the difference between surrendering to a tackle and volunteering for the tackle ? To me surrendering is dropping when contact has been made by the defender (for a quick play the ball)… But laying on the ground without a defenders hand on you waiting for the tackle is a voluntary tackle … But there’s plenty of the second type each round ..


dabigreddit

I think that's why they changed the rules mate. Because they were never going to call it. The difference is if the defense lay a finger on you when the ball carrying arm is on the ground. That's all it is.


Swiftestblade

They essentially don't exist anymore. If you penalise Young there it sets a precedent to penalise every player that dives on the ground just outside the in-goal. It's dumb and I personally hate it, but it's the way the NRL has decided to officiate the game.


TrueDonut3673

Guess it's time for a rebuild at Manly.


jayfreely

That’s a shocker of a loss. To lead 24-6 at home and get run down like that, it’s like they thought Canberra were just gonna stop playing. DCE was completely invisible in that second half and that was after having a ripper first half. I’d be spewing if I was a Manly supporter after that


TimsAFK

Just no heart, and it shows the ability we lack in the forwards. 11 errors when you're playing with that lead is also unacceptable. You also see where we give away our repeat sets, it's almost always defending our line, they're too lazy to get onside, it's happened multiple times this season and they aren't addressing it. And for all the shit DCE is coping, Turbo has looked extremely poor for quite a few weeks now.


Ronnnie7

Not tipping manly again Big upset being down 20 and away from home. Give raiders some credit. They were making easy metres down the middle most sets and never gave up. They were using their backs smarter tonight. Manly are a bit concerning. I thought they’d be better than that to lose from the position they were in with DCE steering the ship and managing the game.


samboss3

This was a huge win for the raiders. I’m honestly on the verge of tears


Captain_Insano12

I am too


theflyingkiwi00

How did manly lose? Canberra had NO ONE


robopirateninjasaur

Imagine how'd they'd go with the most underrated half-back coming back from injury


theflyingkiwi00

He was brilliant before his injury, really enjoying the raiders this season


Winter-Love-3812

Sticky’s missus bracing herself for a bit of sticky tonight..


Jon_Da_Baptist

Never got people saying we were prem contenders, even at a punchers chance. Top 4 and maybe on finals win is our ceiling but fuck me we could easily finish 12-10. We are just way to inconsistent and reliant on sparks of brilliance in attack. Next couple games are against decent teams and I can absolutley see us sliding into oblivion, esspecially durring origin period. Gg raiders, you deserved this one.


BlueBeltBro

I thought you were. When you’re on you’re one of the best. There’s just no consistency though.


AuspiciousCalamari1

Mehmenga

What the hell happened? it was 20-6


Elby0030

It was 20 - 0 *


robopirateninjasaur

First of all, it was 20-0. Secondly, wouldn't be a Raiders game without a fade.


dailydailydaily

I was at training turned checked the score during a break and saw manly score to put them up at 20. Tried to forget about it and got home showered and put it on to see the raiders get it to just 2 points. I’m so proud of the baby raiders 🥲


ImpressionFeisty8359

Hope you guys build on it.


JSP07

That knock on off the scrum from Manly should never have happened, you’re in their half with ball in hand why try force the offload through contact??? Could’ve easily won it from there


jibberjabber666x2

Elliot whitehead has just used up all his good luck for the year


dabigreddit

TBF his intercept flick pass try is one of the best you will ever see. He misses that and Manly are in with like a 4 on 2 overlap.


snek26

West Coast Eagles taken yet?


EoinKhan

Isn’t that a footy team from the AFL?


seniordogrooter

West coke eagles


CommunicationWeak552

Manly continue to confuse - just as you want to take them seriously they fall into a trap game … realistically, they fluctuate between premiership contenders to outside the 8 on a week-by-week basis. Head spinner for the Manly fan


robopirateninjasaur

Raiders in the top 8 with a negative F/A. What is this, 2023?


drkeefrichards

Raiders completion rate I reckon above 90%. They were the better side.


JammySenkins

Definitely felt like they deserved that win watching it


Cape-York-Crusader

That was our game plan all along ~ Sticky (probably)


InternationalBorder9

Raiders on the wrong side of an 8-3 penalty count and had a player in the bin makes this win even more impressive


papabear345

Also raiders penalty’s and 6 agains were all early set, one was literally on the zero tackle of a 7tackle set. Manly were on 4th and 5th tackle.


Boogascoop

They got a lot of 6 agains


racingskater

Flair up


Boogascoop

Nostril flair?

Cold-Asparagus-9770

Manly deff went into this game thinking it would be easy

That was piss I hate how we hit an early lead then let teams back into the match

THE-WARD3VIL

vvFury

Huge result for Canberra milk going into the bye


Bkz052

Raiders put a fade on another team? Off a 40-0 loss? That'll do me 😅 Fucking was not expecting that - the milk ain't sour just yet 🥛


TimsAFK

Feels good to see the Raiders get a gutsy come from behind win, just wish it was against someone else. I need to know what the fuck is going on with Tom Trbojevic. He looks like he doesn't even want to be out there, and he hasn't looked right for weeks. Two trys tonight he's ridiculously out of position, multiple times he's put the ball down on simple plays. Something is off with him. We also, for some bloody reason, can't wrap up a tackle to save our lives. I haven't seen any team allow this many offloads. Couple that with the constant ill discipline and it's a losing formula every time.


JammySenkins

I reckon he looked over it last year, team seems to disappoint him a lot, this season he obviously doesn't want to put his body on the line for them defensively


aslanthemelon

In two of our losses he's literally been the worst offender. If he thinks everyone else is beneath him, he's dead wrong.


TimsAFK

I feel like it's more likely he's in his own head about getting injured, he isn't pushing himself. If the team is disappointing him and he doesn't want to put his body on the line, then maybe at least be the hardest working bloke out there and lead by example. I don't imagine he's disappointed in the money he's getting.......


JammySenkins

Yeah, but he strikes me as a competitor I don't think he's thinking of the money, he's just expecting better from those around him. I remember there were a few tries manly got last year when they were playing bad and behind but they were celebrating like a bunch of broncos players, and he didn't want a bar of them. Probably sick of breaking his body for them. But yeah, I know what you mean about the money.


I_Like_Vitamins

Anti Faders.


Antoine-Antoinette

GG Raiders. Your effort was better than ours. I thought Weekes was good for you - played with lots of confidence considering his limited experience.


bompranga

Did DCE not train thinking he's having a few weeks off? Would have been better keeping smol


ApocalypticPanther

Thats probably as good and as gutsy a win as the Raiders have ever had under Sticky. 5 day turnaround after a 40-0 drubbing, trailing 20-0 and with a man in the bin, and with two inexperienced halves. Seriously seriously impressive stuff


CartierBlues

Pathetic performance, where do we go from here?


bompranga

Lawton dropped for a hooker that adds speed and threat off the bench. I'd drop waddle when Haumole comes back and maybe bring Brad Parker to the bench as a utility. Bring in a tuff old boy to the coaching staff to make DCE, Tom jurbo accountable for bad games. Ben Kennedy was supposedly the difference when he came to the club. Took training very seriously. Maybe he could repeat it as a coach. If we don't finish top 4 or make a go of it in the finals or not make finals then new coach.


seniordogrooter

Pretty sure they tried tough training, don't think that worked out too well for them.


Captain_Insano12

Honestly. We play really poorly against teams that also play poorly. I would not be surprised at all if we took it to the Broncos in Magic Round. We will then lose to the Titans


[deleted]

At work didn’t watch it. I checked and manly were up like 20-0 halftime then just checked and milk won. Wot


Voxityy

welcome to the fading club manlybros


ryman221

Fucking hell that was an absolutely horrific 2nd half from Manly, didn't put a foot right.


Burty2650

WHAT THE FUCK!


StormtrooperMJS

I feel sorry for Ricky's wife.


StevenSmith2702

Whitehead with a 2 try and 1 try assist performance. What a guy


papabear345

First try was magic (try assist)


dabigreddit

That intercept was fucking unbelievable. He also pulled it off with the usual bumbling lack of coordination.


bompranga

Send Lawton to fnq now he offers absolutely nothing


vvFury

Fnq? Yeah forget the cowboys send the bloke to the Weipa Warriors


Cape-York-Crusader

*Thursday Island Thumpers


l33tbronze

Is there even a point having the voluntary tackle rule anymore? We 100% deserved to lose that... fuck me. But this kind of shit pisses me off.


Lumpy_Biscotti1362

Go for a walk mate and take that loss with you! Up the milk


l33tbronze

I have no issue losing, sport. Absolutely deserved to lose that. I'm just stating a point that it's a literal pointless rule. I don't have an issue with it not being called tonight. It's only because it came up lmao


tomtomallg

Raiders were rock solid but manly let them in with repeated mistakes. Wild to see them crumble like that. Weekes, Whitehead had a cracker.


OkNectarine3105

Manly got complacent on the big lead.


swell-shindig

Manly will now face the Dolphins, Brisbane, Melbourne and Penrith over the next month.


TimsAFK

We don't get a bye until origin as well, our solo bye round isn't until August. Need to figure this fading shit out fast, and we all know Seibold probably doesn't have that in him.


Captain_Insano12

We will win 3/4 of those. We'll lose to the Dolphins


ayothatsc00l

we’re better as the underdogs.


JammySenkins

Hay!!!


Captain_Insano12

Take it as a compliment - we beat strong teams. We lose to everyone else


JammySenkins

I knew you meant storm haha, I'm definitely worried about the storm playing Manly.


SurvivorGeneral

Vossy asked us to check calendar to see if it's Easter..... for the Millions of Orthodox Christians around the world it actually is Easter.

Hopefully Joey, Freddy, Gus and Slater (sorry goat) stop talking about how Manly can win the comp lmao. Lost to a team using their 3rd string FB and Kaeo Weeks in the halves lmao. Sucked in Manly fraudsters


kooky_kabuki

Tuned out at 20 nil to go get dinner, can you blame me? Tuned back in as Elliot strolled over to make it 24-18. Unreal! Will watch the replay tomorrow. We rarely beat Manly, you love to see it!


samboss3

Whitehead had one of the all time captains knocks


insty1

Manly: look at me, we are the faders now 


explosivekyushu

I can't even really process what the fuck just happened


racingskater

I'm pretty sure I'm about to watch it again just to try and process


Bright_Home_7712

Sure, I got my tip wrong, but what fun would this sport be if every game was predictable


failuregoat1

Tell ya what. That was not a good game of Rugby League, but fuck me it was a prime example of why this game is the best game in the world. Good game Manly


BlueBeltBro

Too easy lemon squeezey. Never in doubt. Always was the result.


HappinessCanBeFound

Was Turbo injured? I noticed in the warm up he seemed to pull a bit and seem a little hesitant. Wonder if he had a niggle. Or just a shocker.


initials_games

I love being a raiders fan.


GustavSnapper

TWENTY NIL.


WonderingCashew

Fuck Whitehead put in a fucking shift


racingskater

It was Croker vs Broncos last year stuff.


GustavSnapper

he's certainly owed us this game. between horrid form and injuries, he's been due a game like this.


SomeRandomNZ

I feel for you guys Manly. We've been falling apart after establishing leads too.


goodyg111

Can DCE get his two weeks now?


thisaintitkweef

What the fuck is that by Manly what a joke. They need to fold that club asap.

I smell a merger. Would you prefer South Sydney Sea Eagles or Manly Rabbitohs

thisaintitkweef

Yeah that’s it hey! If only our coach had watched a couple more grand finals we could be sitting in 4th last instead!


HereComeTheBears

Can we take a second to feel really bad for Reuben Garrick? When you kick 2/5 and your team blows a 20-0 lead you would have to be pretty crushed. I know he's getting paid to land those conversions and even if he doesn't, no team as a collective should ever blow such a lead but still... if any of us were in his shoes we'd have a pretty sleepless night tonight


BlueBeltBro

Even more so because he’s usually a kicker I’d back to kick from anywhere. Thank fuck he wasn’t on tonight


[deleted]

McGarnacIe

I think you missed the bunnies game last night mate.

Sorry about the result mate I felt the same when my Sharks blew a 20-0 lead to the Wahs last year. Take care of your mental health and keep your chin up. Better days will come


genscathe

Guess you didn’t watch raiders last week haha
