One eyed Manly supporter here and very happy with the win.
However, it really shits me that refs are so easily conned by players who just go looking for penalties.
The 2 extra time penalties that marched Manly up field were rubbish.
Taupau deliberately dropped the ball to get the penalty and it should have been a scrum with the Raiders feed.
The onus should be on the player to retain possession, especially with everyone looking to offload in every tackle. The only way to stop it is to wrap up the ball.
My pet hate is when a dummy half deliberately runs at a defender who is off side and actually runs into them or starts pushing them and using them as a shield.
Rant over.
Go the Mighty Eagles.

Well Austin is on 362 KM in Ultimate but only listed as 191 in NRL, so unless they measure it differently or I'm in for further disappointment and ultimate is wrong... kinda hoping that's a sign of updates to come.
Oh interesting, hopefully yeah
I had whitehead, cotric and leilua in that game so fingers crossed..
Leilua started so well too...

Leilua & Pimplehead went backwards in the Dreamteam updates so I am not very hopeful.

Great post Chucky.
I hate Manly (for no genuinely good reason aside from it being Manly), so I will be non-biased as well. They showed some real ticker tonight and deserved the 2 points at the end of the day. The Raiders were off at home, so any team that goes there and takes advantage of that, well good luck to them.

Whitehead downgraded. Heartbreaking 
But netted 10 extra points in total putting me at 307/7. Could be worse.

i'll begrudgingly take Turbo's 33, he's basically Teddy-lite, so that'll happen sometimes, though I'm still blaming Mitchell fucking Moses for making Idris try to chase that last kick into the 10th row of the grandstand, thus making me play Cotric this week

May very well be the end of Cotric for me. It was going to happen sooner or later anyways and that's sure to put the brakes on him

my plan has been to trade him up to Teddy when the time was right,but i was expecting that time to be a bit further away, don't know how i feel about it with origin approaching, though the Tigers byes seem to be pretty origin player friendly

If you didn't score a try in that early game then your score is crap. Low points across the board there

I'm thinking I'll hold for Round 12. A 16 after base stats of 2 tackles and 39 metres gained is like getting out of gaol. Was it that one run out of his own in-goal that got him there-2 or 3 TB's in that from memory.

What a wonderful night it was last night. Without Crichton I would be a humiliating 121 / 5

Re: Austin kick meters. Does ultimate count drop outs as kick meters? He had a few monsters

Man, I feel bad for all the people that brought in BJ this week, and also feel bad for those Crichton nonbelievers. Guy is a gun. Still confused as fuck regarding Sironen though just quietly?!
Will take Turbo's and Niko's score in those games. 220/5, so not horrible. Wish I sat out Cotric and played Lamb, but thems the brakes. Cotric should be okay to hang around for round 12. He just needs another big game to get going again. He certainly has that potential.
Walker's score is solid for that game too. Ripe for the picking soon enough.
Anyone know what Niko's BE will roughly be next week?
