    Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Round 26, 2024]

    Agree, never seen a team who have so many lessons to learn. Such a weak excuse for not competing.

    Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Round 26, 2024]

    As the coach says - they got what they deserved. Manly have butchered so many games they barely deserve to be in the 8

    What could have been

    I hope you’re right. Feels more like the team of 2003. We have good backs but really limited forwards. We lack speed, aggression and defensive effort. Jake is a great man but a total liability in attack. Ditto Croker. You can’t beat good sides carrying so many no contributors.

    Crichton

    It may be their downfall but I doubt we’ll be the ones to teach them.

    Pre-Game Bulldogs V Manly [Round 26, 2024]

    The dogs play with energy grit and defend with purpose. They give nothing away and never give in. Manly well they like to play pretty and only for short periods. The dogs have a score to settle against manly. This will be a bloodbath. Kind of hoping this prolonged humiliation will lead someone...

    Game Day: Tigers V Manly [Round 25, 2024]

    The same place they always are when things get tough

    Game Day: Tigers V Manly [Round 25, 2024]

    It’s frustrating we forget how soft this side is. Good against poor opponents but jelly like against committed sides. It’s all very predictable. We like it fast and loose. The dogs and sharks are far too hard for our powder puff team

    Is a good loss a thing?

    And we know manly do their best work when they are allowed to play pretty. Rarely do we see a plan B. Whilst we get run down regularly how many games do manly win when they are required to graft and come from behind against committed opposition? You only have to look at our loses this year...

    Is a good loss a thing?

    Brave effort tonight but also a little predictable. Our starts in big games against big teams always seems slow. We are invariably blown off the park. Our big names aside from DCE rarely play their best in a manly jumper when the heats on. I should stress big games AWAY from brookie. The good...

    Game Day: Roosters V Manly [Round 21, 2024]

    Seems to happen a lot whenever we play under pressure

    Manly - Top 8

    Add in that dragons game and you have the difference between 6th and 12th. Sadly we aren’t good or consistent enough to go on a run of victories to compensate for those losses. Another year of learning. Crazy to think the highest paid trio in our team will have played for almost a decade with...

    Jamie Humphreys

    Seems we are determined to rid the club of any emerging talent. At least the 1st grade are comfortable knowing there is zero chance anyone will ever be dropped

    The Ruck

    Couldn’t agree more. We like it loose. Assume the opponent will let us play and hope passes stick. Plan B is wait to get the ball back and try again

    Pre-Game Manly V Dragons [Round 15, 2024]

    I think it’s fair to say by the closeness of the results, that manly do rise to the occasion. The truely annoying part is they don’t rise above, they are almost always just below. Just imagine if they actually had a standard they could maintain or effort that they brought each week. You can...

    The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD

    I’ll rephrase. We are great against lacklustre opponents. Storm were flat, Penrith rnd 1 were likewise. Energetic and disciplined sides have us covered. A couple of good wins sure but many more that were terrible. We are extremely ordinary and our style of play is rocks or diamonds. But hey...

    The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD

    The coaching staff have gone all out on this touch football style of a game. It’s failed miserably and only worries other non tacklers. Good sides have no troubles with us. Sadly we are going to have another wasted 3 year term from a coach who didn’t work out. My only hope is we don’t resign...

    Manly - Top 8

    In reality we aren’t really fighting for the 8. We simply aren’t that good or committed. Our hope is to avoid being humiliated in the process of failure. IF they play with heart and have a genuine dig then losing is tolerable. What we’ve seen so far gives me little hope

    Manly - Top 8

    Mate we are just learning, it’s all about learning lessons and as you say, little fixes. This side is delivering the same tripe they have since 2016. Small periods of good form but never enough to balance out the chronic flat spots and downright shockers. We were conned into thinking this side...

    Pre-Game Manly V Dragons [Round 15, 2024]

    Saints are playing with commitment and speed with and without the ball. We look so slow thru the middle and statue like in defence. Saints love playing us. A huge form reversal for manly to get close. Saints by plenty unfortunately
