Post-Game Discussion Dragons v Manly [Round 22, 2023]

[Ryan]

We are just a dumb team. Lack any game management and struggled to beat a 12man 15th place team. That was rubbish and the Roosters, Panthers and Warriors will murder us.

Couple of things I guess, we are officially out of the wooden spoon race. Secondly, we've won more games now than last season with Des.

 

[Captain Moondog]

I'm strangely happy, we all are in Dijyabringabeeralong.

 

[Eagle 1]

We must do 3 hrs practice on short kick offs THIS WEEK Cmon Seebold FFS CONCENTRATE @!!

That was an easy catch in all honesty

Agree , but we have broken a 20 year record

We bombed 2 trys, Rueben only had to get up and fall over the line instead of passing, then Koulas break and he loses the ball

But what made those two bombed tries even worst... we let them roll up the field off the back of them, and they almost scored off both those scenarios. That happened a third time as well.

 

[cc eagle]

Lucky to get that win, but if we hadn't made so many errors we would have won handily.

Errors were 12 to 8 but the set restarts killed us 6 to 1

Welfare check on Flanno please

There is something systemically wrong with our second halves, and it comes down to attitude versus laziness.

It's happened too often over the past few years now, and it's a culture problem.

I can't even rewatch and enjoy the games, because the capitulations make the games unsatisfying

Dragons down to 12 men and we play 2 sets up the middle not even a thought to try and play wide and outnumber them. It was just dumb dumb dumb and piss poor game management.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Boy oh boy, Schu is a worry. Showed a couple of great moments, a few poor moments, and then invisible for most of the remaining time. I guess he's consistent with this sort of performance.

 

[Eagle 1]

They manage to let teams do it even without penalties or 6 agains. Watch that last 20 and see how easy and often Steelers just rolled on down with ease.

Very similar to the Sharks game, starved of possession for the last 20min.

 

[Thewestisbest]

Great win! Go the mighty Eagles!

Yes because we lack resolve and discipline

 

[cc eagle]

We always seem to have problems when teams start throwing the ball around, Sharks did it last week in the 2nd half, our defence gets wayout of shape

My hands are still shaking. Using the voice thingy to type this.
A wins a win. I’ll take it anyway it comes.

They had 60% of the ball, 8 - 5 penalty count in there favour and we made 12 errors, that would have have a lot to do with it, plus the team sheet, we have our share of outs, yer, but I get what your saying, Just not today mate, we have 300 and 100 times more important reasons to celebrate the win.
PS forgot the 6 - 1 against us set restarts.

 

[JBW]

Ill take the win, first in 20 years down there. Not a great performance but i guess the glimmer of hope remains.

Speed kills and was good to see the left edge get some space again.

Now im going to try and forget the game by watching an even more frustrating team...the Wallabies, the All Blacks may run in 70 tonight..

 

[Will on the hill]

Have the video refs ever helped us more in 1 game? We definitely needed it.

 

[Captain Moondog]

Can we do a silvertails
Communal buy for a defrobrilator

Yeah, not me I've got a tattoo Not To Be Revived

It's fuking frustrating and irritating beyond belief. If this guy thinks he should command the big $$$ then what he throws up as far a game management snd involvement for the full 80 minutes is garbage.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Yes because we lack resolve and discipline

Have we ever pinned a team down their end with swarming committed defence and fast off the line? I don't ever remember seeing it this season. Great Manly teams in the past would do that consistently.
