You've made a lot of valid points, we really need our big 3 to aim up, as in Turbo, DCE and Ola, otherwise it could be another Sharks type loss again.
Unfortunately, 2 of those seem to be playing injured (did you see Ola on Sunday - felt sorry for the bloke) and the other seems to be off with the fairies.
We have to play out of our skin and the Cows have to have an off night for us to win this. But that can always happen 🤞

If we were to somehow reverse our past five week slump in form (aside from Panthers) and win this well, it could be a real turning point in our season. We might well go on a run if that happened, easing the discontent of Manly fans like me and others who belong to the sack Spoony brigade. After all, we all want to see the mighty Sea Eagles winning consistently.

I'm sure every supporter would happily eat a Spoony spoon full of humble pie.

Hard to see him turning it around.
 
Out pack and bench are woeful
Paseka and Aloia , although not great are at least competitive

We’ll get slaughtered down the middle
DCE has given up
Tommy is hurting
Overall the incredibly weak forward pack and DCE issue around morale is insurmountable in my opinion

I expect a shellacking to be honest
To think they will get up for this ignores the reality of Sunday

DCE will phone it in but he will be picked for QLD - that is a certainty and he knows it too
The only thing that gives me some hope is that we are totally inconsistent - and if we stay true to that (as ironic as that is) we’ll turn in a decent performance this week. But that’ll then be nulified but a sh!t performance the following week.🙄
 
Their halves are dangerous, especially if Manly get beaten up in the forwards again, if the middles turn up and gain at least equality in the ruck, have the outside backs to more than match them.
Have a feeling Manly show up this week, but i have got that wrong before ..... :wondering:

Haven't we all! ☹️

I thought the Penrith win was going to be the turning point but, well, you know.
Until we can get a pack that is getting us go forward, we'll continue down this unsealed road.

All I care about is Manly winning. Would happily eat my share of that humble pie if Seibold can string a few wins together and have us playing good, consistent footy.
 
Brace yourselves everyone , the next 3 1/2 months is going to be dire.

I think eventually the club will have to stand the captain down & throw in Arthur , whilst he’s not great it’ll be no worse.

The Dollar Chaser has well & truly checked out.

If that happens then the coach needs to be flicked as well. One seventh placed finish bookended by two dismal seasons is an enormous fail at the vast majority of clubs.

Let's not forget that Des was tracking to have us play three finals series in four years before rainbow gate kicked in and he was sacked. He also got us to a prelim final. Which overall is a superior record than what Siebold has produced.

Yep sack everyone , not sure what we do then but can’t be any worse than it is now.

Keep Bullemor,Ola, Koula & little Hoppa

So new coach , staff & 26 players

Some might call it a bloodbath , others it’s a refresh

It's a chance, Manly outsiders but not by much

No chance at all! A couple might, but many of his critics (haters?) would find anyone to credit for the win but certainly not Seibs!

As far as I remember we won 5 in a row without turbo and were heavy favourites to smash the roosters 🐓. Only for whoever decided to do that rubbish with the jerseys then we lost what the next 7? And kicked Des because we didn't make the finals LOL then we hire Seibold over Flanno... mind boggling stuff. This is one of the dumbest clubs in the code without a doubt. Toovey sacked for Barrett LOL shame on them

He was only extended because we happened to fluke that finals win over the dogs by virtue of a Hail Mary last tackle play from Turbo and DCE, finished off by koulas pace and evasion. We were never going to win that game until then. We got found out big time the next week.

Kinda like the critics/haters who will find any excuse for a loss apart from the coach. The owner, DCE, the scheduling, old forwards (not the coaches fault though), mestrov, recruitment.
 
Still gives so many 6 agains away every game, him & Jake give 4-5 away every game
Up to and including Round 10, Jake's Negative Play tally, over the 7.25 games that he has played in, amounts to 2 Set Restarts, 1 Penalty, and 1 Error, which equates to 0.552 offense per game, and all those listed offenses happened in Round 2 when he was sent to the Sin Bin for 10 minutes. He has been a clean skin ever since.

Ben and Tom on the other hand are something different.

Ben's Negative Play tally, over the 9 games that he has played in, amounts to 8 Set Restarts, 6 Penalties, and 7 Errors, which equates to 2.333 offenses per game.

Tom's Negative Play tally, over the 4.5 games that he has played in, amounts to 1 Set Restart, 1 Penalty, and 9 Errors, which equates to 2.444 offenses per game.
