Game Day: Chooks v Manly [Round 1, 2021]

[KaZa]

Good thing Funa is on th bench... Oh wait dessie won't bring him on. Take your pick. Parker or Garrick. Both poor defensively. Bring on Funa for Parker please. Please des.

So, apparently even getting a solid 5/8 option still doesn't allow DCE to play well. I get it... he can only play if Turbo is out there. Is that right? Am I missing something? What does this money pit want/need?

 

[Ryan]

Honestly, let’s all hope so. Otherwise nothing will change. Absolutely fuking disgraceful. You Highlighted our terrible end to last season @Ryan and the fact we on par with some of the worst defences ever? Something clearly is off at the club...

They score 14 more, we are the worst in the history of the game (chasing the 1999 Western Suburbs Magpies).

Not to mention that's 10 losses in 11 games. Shame we beat the Bulldogs. Would love to hear what Des Hasbean could say to polish that ?

This really sucks..

I tipped roosters...I actually wrote "by plenty" next to my tip... So I'm not commenting out of emotion, or anger, as I expected this to happen..

What absolutely f$&king sucks about being a Manly fan right now, is KNOWING your going to be scored against EVERY time your opposition is in your red zone... You KNOW it.. and it sucks..

We keep choosing the same useless players .. Garrick.. isn't a first grader In any other team.. nor is Parker, Croker, jetski, possibly sirro... Jake has been trying to play 5/8 for the last 3 years and hasn't broken the line with a run since 2018..

Wait all off season, Full of hope for the coming season, and you KNOW once the same team is named, that it's going to go EXACTLY like the end of the last season...

It's embarrassing to be a Manly fan.. it honestly is.. not because we lose games, but because you can glance at the team picked and KNOW the outcome...

Easts are good. We have been as bad as we could be. Early tackle turnovers when on attack. And dce omg he has been atrocious! Fox looks good but starting to blow. Thought Aloai and Jack were good early. It’s hot as f$&@ get bloody davey out there. Paseka is blowing.

There were periods were our forwards matched them, but once they got a few off loads the defence retreats and Teddy is killing us with his speed. Pretty much doing it himself.

 

[madmax]

Jake is a problem isn't he...

I’m tired of Jake......offers nothing to the team. Garrick, Parker, Jake, Saab to Blacktown! This is so disappointing & wonder coach Des leaves X factor Schuster out. Fvcking disappointing.

 

[Waz13]

Croker at 9 is not going to work. He’s too predictable. He’s a passer only no other options. Teams can see what he’s going to do each play. He should have had a couple of darts already.

 

[joeboy]

Has des even coached the team in anything all off season. Rudderless.

Not surprised croker, garrick and Parker are still terrible players.

We look under-prepped, uncommitted, disinterested terested and second rate

 

[Jigzkiller]

Something clearly is off at the club

Yep

SET RESTARTS

1st Half:

Chooks: 2 - Tackle Number: 2, 2.

Manly: 2 - Tackle Number: 3, 2.

The only player I am proud of is Foz. Aloiai did ok, Saab had a mixed bag but even when he gets beaten in defence he has the speed to scramble and make the tackle. The edge of Jetski, Parker and Garrick are absolutely embarrassing us. Get Davey and Funa on for Jetski and Garrick.

We are really competitive for 5 minutes, then fold for the next 5, then competitive, then fold etc. I just don’t get it.

You're right, this rabble definitely ain't Manly, the Northern Eagles were better than this crap

Yeah for another team!

 

[Waz13]

When Morris scored at the end my son smacked his mobile phone on the couch in disgust. Gone, phone confiscated! Tge Xbox is next I told him! “But dad this is crap!”

Croker at 9 is not going to work. He’s too predictable. He’s a passer only no other options. Teams can see what he’s going to do each play. He should have had a couple of darts already.

He has not been the problem at all imo. I think he has actually been ok at times. Our problem is our left edge defence and dce’s attack.

 

[Damien2812]

I've gone into the season not caring about the footy for the 1st time I believe so might kick back and watch the A league instead.

 

[DaveLP]

Dce isn't having his best performance atm either killing us every time we get in the roosters red zone.

 

[eagleron]

Could get?

Already is.

Is anyone else as Jack of Dan Ginane as I am, his Rooster lovefest is doing my head in
