I can't understand why he continues to leave Mahoney on the bench for so long into games and similarly, why he leaves Sexton out completely. I know they're going, but why would you leave good players out especially in big games. Galvin's not setting the world on fire.
This is belated, most played so well it wasn't easy to decide:
3) Simpkin - 42 tackles and our no. 1 dummy half
2) Lehi - 2 tries, 250 metres, 4 line breaks
1) TKO - 148 metres, 30 tackles in 46 mins.
Closely followed by Koula, Burbo, Turbo
A win's a win and I'm happy (unlike some on here, unbelievable). Great atmosphere at Brookie today and it was so good to see the likes of Koula, Lehi, Turbo, Brooks, etc in full flight again.
Many fans around me were all saying the same thing....where was this in the last 4 weeks.
A little...
Please Manly can you try and remember how to win as you seem to have forgotten.
Sunny afternoon here and great conditions for footy.
Apart from the 350 games hoo-ha, thank you URM for 29 years of sponsorship.
Go Manly!
It isn't a good look. However the weather's been awful today and they haven't got much to play for, so it's kind of understandable.
What struck me watching this dull game is how short Sutton's shorts are...they look weird, lol
3) Simpkin - came from the hospital just 2 hrs after his wife gave birth and did 46 tackles
2) Koula - the shining light of the team
1) Burbo - all efforts and no errors
I did not say he's the Messiah, or think it. I was merely trying to cheer up a dejected fan by pointing out we'll have Fogarty next year who has a much better attitude, etc than DCE's at present.
I know we lost games previously but losing Jurbo our heart and soul of the team didn't help last week and this week.
It seems we can't get through a game without losing at least one player to a failed HIA or injury - and of course today we lost yet another (Garrick injured).
Disappointed is an understatement for us all at present. It's sad that you, and many others, are perhaps walking away and not renewing your membership. Like it is for me, I know it's a big outlay of your hard-earned for not much joy in return.
If DCE was staying, I'd understand your change of...
That's sad he can't continue. Sounds a bit like Schuster, but Shaun's older and wiser and at 186 games he made a good go of his career.
Good on him for turning his mental health struggles into a positive and wishing him well for his future.
