Not too sure how much influence or responsibility Flanaghan has in the whole matter also .
Maybe he has clocked off to a large degree and Siebold not taking up the slack or offering the required input to compensate .
Had the impression that Siebold was somehow going to present or had a more up to date or new ideas type coaching approach or credentials .
just can not see the reasoning however of wasting so many plays on one of runs especially when Manly does have some serious strike out wide and even Parker is capable of running good lines .
At least something is more likely to happen out wider or wider of the ruck as opposed to very limited prospects in the middle . Need some necessary go forward or when it is warranted but to dominate some possession plays , just a lost cause when all is said and done , Even assisting in building some serious pressure quite limited in the main .
Garrick obviously does not have all of Turbo 's all round ability but has been able to manage some good line breaks from the back in quite a few games this season also , when the ball is spread a bit .
Have to say again that i only watch very occasionally and even then on a relatively brief basis , other N R L games but even sides below Manly at present like the Titans and Dolphins tend to play a much better open attacking game , not to mention the sides ahead of Manly and not to take into account the additional entertainment value as well .
Shu 's indifferent form is probably not helping matters in attack , scrambling defence quite reasonable at times , positional defence another matter .
Jury still out on the coaching front , of course hope that Siebold and whoever his assistants are going forward will be able to get much more right then not . or certainly better then what has been dished up for a good part of this season .
