Game Day: Manly v Roosters [Round 9, 2018]

[robbiea]

We need wingers who are good in the air

Wingers -probably could to with atleast 10 positions filled.

 

[Tomay]

Aubusson was also a critical difference, he saved 2 himself.

 

[TimmyQ]

Do we actually have a coach??? Because our team has absolutely no idea wtf they're doing. I am bewildered.

 

[KOMORI]

I only watched the second half but credit where credit is due, despite the lack of confidence , despite the errors , they tried hard right to the end!!

I’m happy with that!

SACK MARK!!!

 

[sheridanstand78]

Another decent effort marred by shocking ball control and wrong options. A win is not too far away I feel, a bit of control and we win today. Shame to see young Tom so off his game, I am sure that the ankle is not right because you are not seeing him really stretch out when running. our attack looked so clunky and special mention to Marty for a colossal game today. DCE has to kick that goal, that miss is inexplicable and in the washup its cost us dearly!!!

 

[HK_Eagle]

Should of run left, got nothing from those kicks all night

We've got nothing from bombs since Lyon retired.. and that's despite having the 7 foot athletic superstar FULLBACK (who you would assume taking high balls would be one of his key skill sets). It boggles the mind.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Should of run left, got nothing from those kicks all night

Yep. Plenty of points down that side

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Uates non forward pass & we win.

 

[The Who]

We won every stat except the one that counts.
Had Tom Turbo not had such a shocker we would have won. But there are players in the team not up to standard, such as Frankenstein and Penny. Most of the players busted their guts, so it was a valiant effort.

 

[Harvies elbow]

Our toughest opponent is ourselves.
All that effort and sh*t ball control let us down.

 

[HoldenV8]

Uates non forward pass & we win.

Add that to Walker's non knock-on......

 

[KOMORI]

Did Poo get on the field or just get splinters?

 

[Simonmyers11]

Defence was pretty good, lots of energy from the players, forwards went well. Too many errors. That team could win a lot of games if that cut out the silly errors.

 

[SeaEagle21]

I only watched the second half but credit where credit is due, despite the lack of confidence , despite the errors , they tried hard right to the end!!

I’m happy with that!

Well summed up mate, i’m disappointed the guys didn’t get the win but not disappointed in their effort today.

 

[maxta]

The team looked dysfunctional, calls again atrocious....thing is when you lose like that it’s contagious like a disease....will always give the other team a sight....
The kick on that last opportunity I have no comment- but will say every time went left looked like a result and hoped it went through the hands.....life will go on and this Manly team is consistent

 

[double hoops]

Pretty proud of our team today. Those players have let us, and more importantly themselves down in recent weeks. Something must have changed during the week. When you can see the boys trying. Hurting when they make a mistake. Having some passion. How could you not be screaming and cheering on our boys today.

 

[The Who]

Another week another crap inept pathetic display full of errors and penalty’s

Barrett has NFI how to coach

Yeah. Twenty instructed Tom Turbo to drop balls, pass balls forward, be out of position defensively. . .
Give yourself an uppercut. This loss was not the result of poor coaching, it's just 3-4 of our players are not up to standard.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Only saw the second half but the boys seem to put in this week. Tom though - dear me. He is not the player I thought he would be this year. Not writing him off as I’m sure he’ll realise his potential but just thought he’d be more advanced than what he is.

Perhaps we could swap our Slav with our Scandinavian, currently playing in blue & gold? Who knows, maybe Brad can teach Dropoyavich how to catch? No one at Narrabeen seems capable of it.

 

[Simonmyers11]

The Walker and Suli experiment should stay. Wright should go back to reserve

 

[NewwyEagle]

Hope nobody thinks that was a good performance. The roosters were awful tonight. We had all the ball and couldn't put anything together.
