    Game Day: Manly V Storm [Round 12, 2024]

    Sadly that’s our good 40 mins. Now watch our fade out

    Game Day: Manly V Storm [Round 12, 2024]

    Same **** every game. What are the odds on storm scoring immediately after halftime and then 3 in 10 minutes to finish the game. All the ball, all the advantage and stuff all to show for it

    The Clean Out 2024 Post

    DCE is not the issue. He is blu chip and never misses a game. A lot of $ but he has been value. The T’s are crippling the joint. It’s like they are getting a local junior loading. They were never going to leave and are now so overpaid vs their value, it almost guarantees the club cannot surround...

    The Hard Truth and it could implode the playing group

    That’s it. Our squad is actually worse. We may get lucky with a medical retirement but with the big 3 likely to play longer than they should it will take a ruthless and brave admin to pick players on form. Jake’s speed in 2026 is going to be entertaining not to mention TomS body.

    The Hard Truth and it could implode the playing group

    This must the longest period of learning or a work in progress ever. Playing very poorly and losing winnable games and then lifting but still losing harder ones is not a recent trend. You can bank on it. It’s beyond the coach. It’s just the manly way. Love your optimism but are we better than...

    70 minutes ok - 10 shockers

    Look at the grit of that Canberra side. All the excuses to get run over with 2 men down. They played tough. If only Manly could muster that kind of care factor ever. manly have zero fight. They need things to go their way and play pretty. Have no trouble following a struggling side but this...

    Pre-Game Manly V Storm [Round 12, 2024]

    They will get flogged by a far more committed and disciplined Melbourne. I suspect the players are still learning

    The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD

    Agree but we are conceding more than we are scoring. Plan B as is defend and play tight if it’s wet, or if they are rushing up, or you are protecting a lead, or near half time. We are trying to score off every play. No one wins consistently doing that

    That "Empty" feeling

    Exactly we are 100% attack and nothing else. No grit no graft. The fact they were even contemplating playing schuster in the second row gives you an idea of the mentality.

    That "Empty" feeling

    We only get interested when we have the ball

    Pre-Game Manly V Broncos [Round 11, 2024]

    If manly get within 40 points I’m taking as a positive…… and for second half

    The Anthony Seibold Grievances MEGA THREAD

    The poor bloke went all in on a team of sprinters. Great if sides let us play and give us room. But we seem to have no plan B. We run around like idiots and then just wait to get the ball back. All out attack is a shock weapon. Not sure if we copying someone or trying to a trend but no ones...

    This site is entertaining ...

    I wished I shared some people’s optimism but it’s hard to ignore history. This is straight out of the playbook circa 2016 to 2024. Moments of greatness but so many more that are just sub par and inexplainable. Almost always involving limited resilience, poor defence and endless quotes about...

    2024 Optimist/Pessimist Thread - How are you feeling?

    I think everyone should adjust their expectations. This headless chook style we’ve mastered is not going to beat good sides. Even bad ones. We are not a good team. We are occasionally impressive but mostly not. But importantly thats who this side is. Ease up. We'll win 5 or 6 more games and come...

    No Tommy and Saab

    And lack of ability

    Line speed and ruck area

    Sorry to say it. We’ve not made the 8 for a reason. The core of this team is very average. We are all out attack or nothing. We’ve been fooled by good marketing when really it’s the same product. Odds on Brisbane winning by 40+?

    Soft underbelly

    The problem is Manly have form in losing games they should win. In fact you can almost bank on it. Getting run down or run over is sadly in this groups DNA. How many humiliating moments do they need before they turn up ready or protect a lead. The Dolphins in their 35 game history have more...

    Soft underbelly

    If only the commentators were the worst of our issues. Given the avalanche of ball and opportunity manly had (and squandered) the fact Canberra were even a chance was impressive. The only right they had to win was handed to them by us. I don’t blame the commentators being enthusiastic for a...

    What will turn Manly from a good side into a great side

    Win first entertain second. Stop giving your opponents so many chances to get back in the game, especially when you aren’t good enough to hold them out. Play ugly and win

    Soft underbelly

    To be fair they were no better under Hasler. When the mood strikes they look great but too often they default to being entertaining. Sides know you are always a chance against manly. We get run down and beaten on the bell more than anyone. We are only a slight momentum change away from falling...
