Des what were you thinking?

[manlyfan76]

Jetski is crap. Never should have been selected

Suli is not up to it. Why move Parker from centre?

Walker is not a seven. Those kicks FMD

Cust wasted on the bench, we needed a seven and you left him on the bench.

Left DeLuis on the bench far too long while jetski killed us again and again.

Great summary and spot on. Seriously i would play Taufua on the left wing of Parker

 

[The Eagle Has Landed]

Was thinking the same thing. Why make so many changes?

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

Parker is best in the centre’s

I didn’t mind Walker at 7

Suli shouldn’t play again as his awareness is terrible

Jestski just not a 1st grade defender

 

[Ryan]

Pretty poor coaching from Des. Then again, the whole team played so poorly, it almost seemed rigged.

That's just my opinion of course.

Canberra beat us with a fast kid at fullback, if only we had a fast kid to play at fullback while keeping the 2,3,4,5 the same.

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

they were all horrible - all of those handling errors - defensive misreads - a terrible terrible performance.

 

[manlyfan76]

@Kevinward777 sorry but this one is on Des

 

[Kalvin]

Even though de-luis is running in quick sand he offers more as a park footballer who runs hard and no nonsense and makes his tackles...
Jetski and suli are also park footballers but offer non of the above!

And to leave Ben turbo out for jack and lose that team harmony crazy selection.

Ben while limited minutes in my eyes has been playing quite well.

 

[The better Robbo]

Yep Cust should have started 7 and Suli on wing. Parker should not play wing and what's with Garrick not even attempting to catch a bomb?

 

[Dion Johnson]

Playing Jetski is very ordinary, the guy was a passenger before injury and nothing has changed, he has had plenty of chances to show his worth and value.

Hopefully we have no injuries where Des can select him again.

Because Suli was literally right under it. It landed on his head!

 

[deanm]

Parker made 2 tackles on the wing, absolutely wasted out there.

 

[Cliffymagic]

Canberra's 1000 forced drop outs didn't help either.. fmd
Totally agree with bad team selection.

 

[The better Robbo]

What about the other 3 times?

 

[Rocky]

Yeah i don't really understand the lack of use of the bench. Cust and De Luis have shown they can do an adequate job. The team is gassed and yet they just sit on the pine. Why?

And agree with others about the silly selections of Jetski and Suli. Madness

Could’ve put pay to the raiders if he had just scored that try. That easy try. That try where we didn’t get the ball again for half hour after he dropped it

 

[Waz13]

Should have played Cust at 7, left Walker on the bench and Ben too. Suli on the wing and Parker stay at Centre. Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Easy to say now I guess. Honestly believe if Parker scores (and bloody Reubs converts Walks try) it’s probably a different game and we ain’t even talkin or not in this light. Oh well top 4 probably gone. One thing I think now is from here on in we play our best team. If Tom wants to go after origin, okay him. We need to win from here on in.

Gee I wanted to be positive about Jetski tonight but fair go he was bad. Just seems too small. First hit up he got smashed and that defence tonight was so bad. Des hooked him and that was it - and may now be it for him at Manly.

This game and Newcastle just lost opportunities. Gotta work hard now and ensure we finish 5 or 6 as top 4 would mean we have to win em all.

Haha... Nah mate. Plenty of factors played into this loss. Parker's bombed try, Williams second try, Garrick taken out after kicking the ball, Sipley not passing to Foran, having to defend set after set on our own line, getting zero of the 50/50 calls. I'm not throwing my toys out of the cot buddy. We'll be sweet.

You'll see.
