Game Day: Dragons v Manly [Round 3, 2021]

[Remy]

Not gonna get all negative until the game is done. But between dragons first and second try, we had good field position for a chunk of time and couldn't convert it into points. We are looking little bit more threatening in our attack, DCE simplfied his game so he looks more comfortable with foz now. But these errors man, theseeeeeee errors!!!! Just settle down and complete sets. So frustrating. And why do we send high balls to garricks side when we got a 10 foot giant on our right wing thats being marked by Cody Ramsey, our gameplan is so baffling.

 

[JBW]

Keys to winning this...don't pass to Parker and actually bomb to the 7 foot winger instead of the winger marking the much bigger player. The guy marking Saab is half his height ffs!

 

[simon_eagle]

Always has been. Dessies bum boy from the dogs.
Has no idea what shoulders are for in rugby league

Pretty sure Baz picked him up from Souths. Agree with you but he is the least of our worries. Our centres can't catch nor tackle.

 

[Brookie Bob]

Why did Des select JetSki he is playing with one arm missing tackles and dropping the ball. Dumb Dumb dumb!

Sadly - second rowers are in very short supply at our club. We're currently playing a busted bench utility and a five eighth.... :-(

I'll be no-one saw that coming 3 games in at the start of the year.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I blame the coach.

 

[The Who]

Harper for Walker at fullback.
Tipytoes for Garrick.
Tyfuna for Suli.
Walker moves to the centres.
Surely DESpicable can see these changes are long overdue.

 

[Hotspur2014]

Yep. We have the tallest winger in the NRL. Recruited especially for catching bombs . . . and we kick to our other winger.
Is is dumb coaching, or dumb players?

BOTH !!!

 

[XV-1]

Ok 3 things
A dummy half who can take advantage of slow defence - Cust
3 times now Parker has been in space and lost it twice, passed 3 hours too early the other....if its Staggs....even an centre with s tad of pace we score st least 2..,
The attack in the red zone aoart from Aloiai and Paseka is pedestrian and uncoordinated

We have 3 young centres that are better than Parker and Suli, playing nsw cup.

 

[Ryan]

Only 18 points against, only down by 12 is a step up for us in a half of football though

 

[XV-1]

68% completion rate for 2 games.... now 51%....

I cannot remember a more pathetic effort from Manly. I’m embarrassed.

Was it that high. Seemed like 35%

 

[kurrieagle]

How about Suli's defense, and non existent attack?

Is Suli just taking the piss

 

[susan]

Bit harsh on Walker, he is a great centre, just gets picked in moronic positions by Des Has-been.

Walker would be hunting a hat trick if he was left centre.
Let’s whip Parker into the second row to really bash them lol

It is just SO hard to watch

aloia on the edge for gotjeski

 

[Kez]

Manly's right edge this week.........shakes head.........

Norman asked how you going to play he said attack the right edge

 

[Rafferty]

Sorry this is on Des, it’s BS, inept is far to kind.

 

[fLIP]

Schuster is the only one creating anything. Geez he has some skills, can't wait to see that unfold over the next few years

Doing it from second row too. My only issue is he does that high school footy no look pass 90% of the time and its always way to high and stifles the attack he can create.

Hes got a great footy head but stuck in his habits.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Harper for Walker at fullback.
Tipytoes for Garrick.
Tyfuna for Suli.
Walker moves to the centres.

and get rid of Jack. Cust to start as well. Sucks Davey and Quac are injured.

 

[Daddycool]

That was an awful half of football. What was our completion rate? Less than 50% pathetic! I remember when Manly were a strong club and used to win games, but that was a couple of years ago.
I’m trying to find some positives like, a least we’ve still got Cust come on but
I’m actually looking forward to the the Roosters/Souths game.

Feel like last Saturday was a better option right?

Jetski is a headless chook and needs to be plucked and shipped off
