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

[Sheikheagle]

I am not defending Dessie and I know he picks these players however these are simple school boy errors. Most of the drops have been cold.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Positives:

• 18-6 is better than 18-nil
• Schuster has that Cliffy-like ability to make a pass look like magic
• Not much else.

Biggest negative is obviously possession. I mean… I can't even.

We're down and we need a spark. Would love to see Cust and Sipley get a shot, but won't be surprised if Des waits until the last 10 minutes to get either of them on.

 

[NYEagle]

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

Oh Ryan I am not criticising his effort. He is trying very hard but just watch him for a while. Often injured, and even in space just looks pudgy. I think his best days are well behind him. He does not hold a candle to the player he was at South’s.

I can’t think of a worse but in our history. Maybe Nate Myles.

[Kez]

Can we hook Parker and Jetski ?

Please

 

[Ryan]

Keep it under 40 against, and maybe score another try, and I'll give our players the participation award for turning up.

 

[Simonmyers11]

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

horrible. worst defender ever and drops the ball cold. he is so bad

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

We'll win this! Go Manly

 

[pjayz]

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?

I hate to say...both.

 

[Rafferty]

Still 40 mins to go, fuk Croker off start with Cust, oh why do I bother, Des WTF mate!

same players every week. A few options in blacktown need a go. enough is enough

 

[fLIP]

If you listen to Willy Mason, Des picks his teams based on hard stats.

Regardless of what Des see's on the field he wont make a change because hes coaching the team with the best stats and its the work that needs improving. Not the players changed.

I aint even joking. I think thats how he works.

 

[deanm]

Hold the ball. Get Cust on and take Gozzie off and we are a big chance . IMHO We have been winning up the middle, but not capitalising.

 

[The better Robbo]

I thought Gosiewski was primed for a big year but man he makes too many mistakes and drops off tackles too much.

 

[simon64]

We are sh1t. The end.

It doesnt matter what the 1-17 is. With these errors and the overall doubt visible in the players at the moment it is clear that the issue is almost solely psychological at this point. We are rallying, only to **** it up with simple errors or doubt in attack.

Need to have faith and use that right side in attack with early balls and high kicks to saab

Schu and Aloiai doing great, dce lucky he has foran doing a lot of the good work

 

[Little Grubber Kick]

This is torture ..... why am I watching this crap?

Because you 'know' it will be completely different in the 2nd Half

maybe

I had high hopes for him. But he has not kicked on.

and the errors were when we were on the attack. just blowing the chances we had

What stats. Jetski has three missed tackles 2 bad reads and an error. Croker dropped the ball so easily thinking he's Cam Smith. parker two errors. He said himself this game is about possession yet these idiots can't do the basics.

 

[Keffola]

Why can't we even do the basics right, just hold on to the ****ing ball.
